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

"It's easy to escalate the issues to the product development team."
"The most valuable feature is the Burndown Chart to see work that is outstanding."
"The workflows are very easy to handle as far as scalability goes."
"The customization and tailoring of the workflows have proven to be very useful."
"The task management aspect of Jira is pretty pure. They have a lot of great plugins that really expand your options."
"Jira can track projects, time management of assignments, and keep everything on schedule. The performance of the solution is good."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is querying because the jQuery function is very good. Additionally, we can create good designs very easily."
"Zoho Sprints is a defect-logging tool."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Performance is something that can always be improved upon in a feature release. Additionally, it would be a benefit to add Markdown in Jira because sometimes it might be better to describe everything in Markdown because it is a common language structure."
"From an automation perspective, there are more aspects that could be needed, especially regarding natural language reporting in the generative AI context."
"For our company, we're thinking about not only project management solutions but also collaboration solutions, and maybe if Jira had a chart or quick commenting option, it would be great."
"I am not sure if Jira can be integrated with our ERP. We have our ERP for the cost estimates or measurements. It would be nice if we can check or view a plan with the real cost. Currently, we have to do a double check of costs. It would be better to be able to integrate it with Jira."
"Of course, the price could always be cheaper."
"Ease of administration and customization. It is really clunky in this area."
"The solution can improve by including test management functionality in a native bundle without plugins."
"I would like our clients' IT group to be able to have oversight without setting up agents. We're managing tickets, and I'd like their IT group to see everything we're doing without having to set them up as agents. There should be a better way of managing their users. I've got such requests, but Jira is expensive, and it is difficult to pay an agent fee for somebody else to view these tickets. Currently, the only way in which I can do that is by setting a user up as an agent, and it becomes cost-prohibitive. They need to do a better job on ticket viewers."
"Zoho Sprints is a confusing tool, and you need to get used to it."
"The interface of Zoho Sprints is an area with certain shortcomings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We currently have ten users, and it is free for ten users."
"We feel that the product is a good value for the cost."
"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."
"The price is quite competitive."
"We are a regional research and education institute. We're using the free license provided for educational institutes."
"There is a monthly license required for this solution and it is expensive."
"To try this solution, use their cloud offering to get familiar. After that, it's in my view worth the money."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. The product offers flexibility in pricing since it depends on the memory bits you have used."
"Zoho Sprints is a more cost-effective solution than Jira."
"The price of Zoho Sprints is between 10 to 25 USD per user per month."
