Featured Reviews

An easy-to-use project management solution with good stability and scalability
The recent update on the solution has made it a little bit complex. For example, to create a team and a project, there is a separate button that you need to click. Recently they updated it with only one button making it difficult for us to create teams or supply teams other than a project. Hence the solution could be more user-friendly. Additionally, some additional features need to be integrated so it'll be easy for other companies or project managers to manage software projects.

Collaborative features improve task management and project tracking
All the business areas are comfortable with JIRA Portfolio. JIRA Portfolio has many features that we have not yet explored or utilized fully, but the power of JIRA Portfolio at this moment for the several areas in the business has been a very comfortable experience. The cloud accessibility and quick task creation capabilities make collaborating with the tool a great feature for working with my team. Users can assign tasks to one or two people who can collaborate and document their work. That feature is amazing in terms of collaboration. While the tool does not currently support meetings, if JIRA Portfolio incorporates meeting functionality in the future, it would greatly enhance the process, especially for tasks requiring teams from different areas.

"Portfolio's most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and customer-centric."

"The best features of JIRA are its flexibility and configurability, allowing us to tailor it to our specific needs."
"The graphics and the resolution of the work are very good."
"It is a good scalable solution that I have used for small projects and reasonably large projects."

"JIRA Portfolio has many wonderful features."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"Formalized area to store contact information indexed in a way that can pre-populate other areas would be helpful."
"There should be an integration of efforts between the cloud service providers' side and JIRA Portfolio."
"It's hard for people to learn. It's got kind of a steep learning curve."
"User experience should be more intuitive. Currently, it's not that intuitive."
"Learning JIRA is not so easy. There is a learning curve."
"JIRA Portfolio's configuration management could be improved."
"We are based in India; I would like the product to integrate local pricing. We earn in rupees but spend in dollars. Its pricing could also be lowered."
"Another thing could be to have an easy way to manage the Portfolio and have more ways to share and to show graphics and reports"
"I think the reporting side is probably where JIRA is not the strongest product in my view."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We only have nine people using it so we have a standard cost of $150 dollar per year. There are only additional costs if you exceed the limit of users, then you start paying by user. The cost is significantly higher."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a six."
"Portfolio is well-priced - a license for ten users costs $100 or $150 a month."
"Given the solution’s significant functionality, benefits, and value, you get more than you pay for."
"I rate JIRA Portfolio a five out of ten for its pricing."
"There are free plugins available, but most of them are at an additional cost. Additionally, other services are an extra cost."
"I do not believe that the product provides value for money since I feel that it is quite expensive."
