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.
Sagar Gaikwad - PeerSpot reviewer
A task management tool that provides its users with functionalities that are easy to use
The interface of Zoho Sprints is an area with certain shortcomings. The aforementioned area of the solution needs improvement. The interface needs to be made a little bit simpler. In the initial years of usage, you should let someone gain experience with the solution since it can help that person easily understand the solution. With other products, there is no need to explain it to new users since they will understand it on their own. When it comes to the epics in Zoho Sprints, one needs to have a certain idea to be able to make it work, and one may face some level of confusion owing to the interface of Zoho Sprints.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The roadmap feature and the ability to integrate with Power BI are probably the most valuable features in it. It is a great solution. I absolutely love it. It is a tool that was designed for project management, and it has been awesome to work with it so far. I also love Confluence."
"It's easy to deploy."
"The JIRA user interface looks great. It's an overall good experience. It's very intuitive in the sense that you understand how it's going to work. It's very self-explanatory, and it's beneficial overall."
"Reporting: It gives a nice report of my backlog and what my team has currently spent its efforts on."
"In terms of scrum teams, I find that usually, the product backlog depends on charts and especially reports like Sprint Reports. I find the reports to be very useful."
"It is a stable solution, and we have had no issues with stability."
"I've never had a bug or a bug message that I needed to open a ticket for."
"The most valuable feature is working with sprints and having the ability to create sprints."
"Zoho Sprints is a defect-logging tool."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Some small issues with stability."
"I struggle with Epics, how they are implemented in JIRA, because they don't work like any other Story, I see a list of Epics, but although I can order them, there are some mismatches with how the Epics are used compared to what Scrum expects, or what Story mapping expects an Epic to be."
"We would like to see the integration of a lite-version of Confluence, just to manage some of the templates and documents."
"Whenever you edit a story, whatever you have changed takes a bit of time to save."
"It would be good if we can grant access based on the roles. This is something that Jira can look into. Currently, anyone with Jira access can access everything. Being able to define access based on the roles will give us more flexibility in managing Jira. I would like to have more reports in Jira. Currently, eight or nine reports are there. You can use Screen Test to get more reports or data from Jira, but you will have to get more add-ons, plug-ins, and stuff like that. It would be good if they can increase the number of reports."
"It would be very useful to have drag and drop time tracking."
"If Jira would be interested in offering a SharePoint version, it would be beneficial."
"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."
"The interface of Zoho Sprints is an area with certain shortcomings."
"Zoho Sprints is a confusing tool, and you need to get used to it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model is annoying. They nickel and dime you."
"I understand JIRA is quite expensive."
"Almost everybody uses JIRA nowadays because it is the most cost-effective solution."
"The price at the moment for Jira is okay. I'm absolutely not amused with the plans to try to drive us to the cloud or to other licensing models. For the very simple reason that we are a company in the defense sector where cloud is problematic in a number of the domains. We are now approximately 60 users and the new policy will actually confront us with an upscale to approximately 500 users. I find it unacceptable, and may potentially lead us to look for another solution."
"If I compare Jira's licensing model with that of other products, I think that the other products have a much better licensing model."
"Its price is fine, but we would like it to be less expensive. We are paying on a yearly basis."
"It is very cheap if you forego the local instance and stick to the cloud."
"The standard package of Jira is for 100 users. They should offer more packages for other increments, such as 500 or 2,000. In my previous company, there was a free package that provided a minimal number of users."
"The price of Zoho Sprints is between 10 to 25 USD per user per month."
"Zoho Sprints is a more cost-effective solution than Jira."
