Find out what your peers are saying about Atlassian, Microsoft, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."Jira is flexible and accessible for the end-user. It lets users track their requests. The look and feel are good for our purposes."
"Jira as a structure has Confluence for documentation, and for what it is offering it is a strong suit with Atlassian."
"I liked the flexibility of the application. It was pretty user-friendly."
"I have experience with Jira's bulk tracking and issue management. We use it to add new features to our product, fix bugs, and address customer feedback."
"I have found the most valuable features of Jira to be ticketing, life cycle workflow, definition, and creation. Many of the features are useful."
"It was easy to use. The consultants that we had on board were familiar with it. So, obviously, having a community that had used it before or was familiar with it was a positive thing."
"The workflows are very easy to handle as far as scalability goes."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the configuration, being able to configure it to suit your own needs."
"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
"It is low-code. We are able to go in and create apps quickly. It is very helpful for the size of our company. We're a mid-size company, and at this moment, we don't need anything externally. We don't have to go out and consult a consulting firm to build something from the ground up. So, the ease of that and being able to get development quickly up and running has been good for us."
"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"The product is easy to use."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"Jira could provide more insight into sprints such as how did we perform in the last sprint compared to other sprints. It would be helpful to have metrics and a dashboard feature for others to see."
"When you first start to use the interface, it is confusing."
"We'd like to see Jira have more integration with a development ID."
"I don't know if it's the way it's deployed in the organization, but the interface we are provided is not as customizable as other tools. The multi-language report is not enabled in our installation. I don't really know if it's something related to the tool or our installation."
"It would be very useful to have drag and drop time tracking."
"Jira could improve by making the user interface easier to use and the functionality could be better. While we are managing multiple sprints and other elements of the projects, it's very difficult to manage the labels and other aspects."
"I also wish Jira had an indicator to tell you that you are approaching the limit for the story points that can be delivered during a sprint. I don't think there is an indicator like that, but such an indicator will be very helpful because then I will be easily able to see that we are approaching the limit."
"The next-generation software projects lack a lot, and I found quite a few bugs. There are some really basic things that you still cannot do. For instance, to put a mandatory due date for a task that you create in one of these projects is still not available. That's a bit of a block because people, especially those who are not technical, are not going to add anything if it's not mandatory. It's going to be difficult to teach them that they should do it anyway."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"When learning QuickBase, I noticed a shift in its cost structure. It operated on a cost-efficient model tied to the number of users, with invoicing based on applicants."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
