Featured Reviews

Saroj Ekka - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good repository integration, sprint board and easy to set up
There are some features and reports we need that are not there. For example, if I have to find out the capacity of the current sprint by user and compare it with the previous sprint, that visibility isn't there. We can know the capacity and what happened with the whole sprint, but not for an individual person to see where it's falling and how it's tracking. Report and analytics capabilities are important for a product manager. That visibility is important, so we use Jira. Some of the features are there, and I use my own Excels or other data things to compensate for that.
Taha Khaleel - PeerSpot reviewer
A flexible, stable, and scalable tool requiring an easy initial setup phase
The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution. With the buttons or the options on the screen in Teamwork, it is important to provide users with a little description of what each option does so that it helps you do your work easily without focusing on the interface.

"All of the tracking features are the most valuable because it allows me to see where we stand today and every day."
"It improved communication, as it was a popular tool, and most people enjoyed using it."
"It is easy to deploy in the cloud and other environments. It is also easy to view the reports of the sprint review or the sprint plan and the relation between the backlog and the repositories."
"Teamwork has made process management easier and much better. It is very robust and improves by making a lot of changes. It is easy to use and has lots of reports."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Teamwork is easy."
"The setup was very easy. Deployment was very fast for us. We started using it within two weeks."
 

Cons

"This solution could be improved by including a different model for the overall planning perspective. There's a Jira portfolio that we aren't using. The only challenge we're facing is that we cannot see the overall planning."
"I'd like the solution to be more secure."
"The solution can improve by including test management functionality in a native bundle without plugins."
"I would like to see more integration available with more tools."
"If Jira would be interested in offering a SharePoint version, it would be beneficial."
"The documentation on how to create dashboards and take advantage of other features in the tool are areas where the tool has certain shortcomings."
"Sometimes it takes time to load the data."
"Its UI can be improved a little bit. I know this a business tool and not a commercial tool, but it could be a little bit more interactive like the HP ALM/Quality Center, which provides you the results of graphs and gives you a lot of visual representations. I feel Jira lacks a little bit in this aspect."
"The product is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar."
"The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution."
"The product could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."

"There are other solutions that are free making this solution seem expensive in comparison."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"One of my customers told me that they were receiving better pricing for a similar tool from Microsoft."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
