We performed a comparison between JIRA Portfolio and Microsoft Azure DevOps based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Agile Planning Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Jira's Structure, agile, and Kanban boards are helpful. I also like JQuery, which allows you to fetch the relevant set of data. We use JQuery, JQL, and the Structure board a lot. Kanban boards help us monitor daily tasks, and we review the progress using the burndown charts."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard where we can see all of our projects and apply filters to shortlist those projects."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The integration is very good. We've more or less integrated with everything including reporting and registering."
"The solution's tracking capabilities helped ensure we had full visibility into planned work and scheduled work."
"Portfolio helps us increase the visibility of projects' status and management with remote workers who make up most of the company."
"Has many functionalities including good supervision and workflows."
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature. The user experience is very good, it's easy to use."
"Two of the most valuable features include the integrated project management suite, which consolidates source code and project management in a single location, and its powerful reporting capabilities."
"This platform provides a large span of tools and technologies."
"It is a well-integrated product in terms of the development lifecycle."
"The user interface is very friendly."
"It's very user-friendly, and the documentation is good. The most valuable feature is backlog item creation, where we pick features and other things. The burndown chart created for projects to be maintained by the development teams is also useful."
"If someone is considering developing and deploying the infrastructure in this solution, then using this tool is perfect because it's fully integrated with the pipelines and with a server core repository."
"Azure Pipeline and Azure Release are most valuable. I use Azure DevOps through pipeline and release."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"If you want to generate a report for individual usage, it's difficult."
"Our major team does not control or manage JIRA server well since sometimes there is trouble using the solution, which is a problem. The solution's speed needs to be improved."
"JIra is very poor at reporting."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"The kanban board could also use some more filters. We just had a project where the deployment for Jira didn't have any ETA, and it's a requirement for the client. We accommodate a lot of issues on the board, so the workaround was to create boards by project, not client."
"We are using the on-premise deployment, but it is slower and not as easy to manage as the cloud version."
"It's got kind of a steep learning curve."
"Microsoft Azure DevOps could improve by providing better integration with other tools. It is very easy to integrate with Azure, but when you need to integrate with other solutions, such as Amazon Web Services, is difficult."
"The dashboards need bigger with better extensions and layouts. There isn't a workflow related to the statuses on the dashboard. It only lists the statuses. You can have one started, and once done, but everything in between is only in progress and could be in any order you want, it lacks flow."
"The solution could work to improve their reporting."
"They could provide clearer guidance on deployment practices for the product."
"The communication could work better, especially for the development team."
"I would like to see improvement in the metrics and the dependencies."
"It should be able to handle the different types. There is ecosystems engineering, and there is software applications engineering. There is a need to bring these teams together, but the disciplines don't integrate very well, and so it won't work."
"More features can be included."
