We performed a comparison between Jira and TFS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have around 2000 plus users, so scale wise, there are no issues. We can easily scale up with multiple users."
"It was very easy to learn Jira. As a scrum master, I run daily stand-ups, and they are run directly from Jira. The feature that I really love in Jira is called Issue Navigator. It allows me to customize how I want to show the user stories within Jira to my squad."
"Jira has a good reporting system. It also has an API, so we can do all sorts of reporting."
"The solution has been very stable overall."
"The solution provides users with clarity in terms of the scope of work in a given timeframe."
"The way we can define and customize the search queries for the tickets in Jira is most valuable."
"What I find valuable about Jira is that it's an ecosystem. Sometimes, it does not provide the best in class solutions, but it's so well integrated. You will not have many problems with integration."
"We like team collaboration and cross-functional collaboration."
"The most valuable features of TFS are bug reporting and its high performance."
"The tool's installation is straightforward."
"The most valuable features are related to source code management. Using TFS for source code management and being able to branch and have multiple developers work on the same projects is valuable. We can also branch and merge code back together."
"The most valuable features are the dashboard and task-selection capability."
"Since it is a robust solution, I face no performance issues. Also, considering how well the implementation process of the solution was carried out, we never faced any issues while using the solution."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of TFS are the test plans. We can reproduce reusable test plans in test automation. We have a lot of queries and this feature is very useful."
"Team Foundation Server (TFS) is easy to use, and we have a complete trail and traceability. We also like the access control part."
"Based on the feedback from my admin, it is sometimes difficult to find some of the features. It is not a big deal, but its configuration interface can be improved to make it easy to find things."
"The integration could be better in Jira."
"Could be more intuitive."
"There's a really steep learning curve for configuration."
"We'd like to see more collaboration tools implemented within the product itself."
"We're doing PI planning, Program Increment planning, and that kind of stuff, and it's not always a good facilitator for that. We tend to pull it out and put it into other tools to manage that, and then we get it back into Jira as that's our system of record for where all the stories are kept. That's probably the biggest headache with it."
"I would love to have more features to make nice documents, like Release Notes or a feature overview, right from JIRA."
"The sprint-related graphics need to be improved."
"TFS isn't a great tool if you're on the cloud."
"TFS needs to be stable."
"The user interface could be improved to make it simpler and increase usability."
"The project management side should be addressed and the project and release planning should be somewhat extended."
"TFS's CI/CD, project pipelines, and management development could be improved."
"The overall reports in TFS could improve. Additionally, there should be an easier way to migrate from an older version to a newer one."
"Its pricing could be improved."
"I would like to see the reporting features expanded so that I can see details on the users connected to all of the projects."
