Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Broadcom, ServiceNow and others in Project Portfolio Management."The dashboard is the most valuable feature."
"It is very flexible, so we can do pretty much what we want with it."
"The dynamic communication and the ability to customize it the way we want are the most valuable features."
"It includes by default all the necessary tools for a project manager to work and make their work more efficient."
"Jira as a structure has Confluence for documentation, and for what it is offering it is a strong suit with Atlassian."
"Scaling the product wouldn't be difficult."
"The burndown chart is also helpful when it comes to reporting and allows us to know where we are going, especially during development."
"It's an open-sourced product that is easy to customize."
"The adaptability of the Scrum and Kanban boards for other uses, with careful use of the customization features."
"The user-experience, enhanced performance, and in-hand governance can be improved."
"In Jira Cloud, integration with Excel is missing. Previously, I could import our Excel files into Jira, and I could also download a big Jira report in the Excel format, but now, it needs to be manipulated after that, which is not good. It looks like they've done that on purpose, but I don't understand the reason for it."
"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 would love to have more features to make nice documents, like Release Notes or a feature overview, right from JIRA."
"It is a bit harder for management or the business partners. I used to search the Atlassian Community online for some troubleshooting issues and I think there were some issues that seemed to not be a big problem for other similar applications, like Microsoft Teams, that were not considered by Jira."
"Its ability to perform true executive-level status reporting could be improved. There are a lot of benefits there, but there are also a lot of things they can and should expand upon."
"From a very software-centric or a lead developer standpoint, there should be the ability to work at multiple levels. You have epic stories and use cases or epic stories and tasks. It would be nice to be able to have multiple levels of stories and multiple levels of epics work with it. It's lacking a little bit there, and this is the big thing for me because it makes it difficult to do a real sprint when you're limited to one story per epic. It's really hard to isolate tasks at multiple levels to match the type of use cases you normally do. That's the biggest difficulty. Other than that, they've been improving year to year, and every version seems to have a level of improvement."
"Could offer an improved user experience."
"The help desk and services management features are in need of improvement."
