Featured Reviews

Debbie Brey - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable, full-package solution with a tech support team that bends over backwards to help
There is room for improvement in getting the analytics portion of the solution more integrated with the rest of it. The feature I would like to see is already in their newer licensing structure, and that's the live integration between Agility, Jira and Azure DevOps. That's the piece that I think is really valuable.
Neeraj Chaudhari - PeerSpot reviewer
Aligns with agile frameworks for streamlined project management
User experience should be more intuitive. Currently, it's not that intuitive. Additionally, a lot of querying and customization is needed for reporting. If there could be some templates out of the box, it would be helpful. Making the report creation process faster and easier with drag-and-drop features would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It can generate reports showing a burndown chart, burnup chart, and the planned vs actual velocity."
"With some of the other tools, you have to buy 20 different plugins to get to the same capability that comes with the basic Agility capability."
"For visualization capabilities, the automation capabilities make it possible to support the different personas. The features and capabilities are excellent and come with excellent support."
"Agility is highly flexible. It can do much more than what our client is doing with it. They use it in a defined way. Some at that company have a much broader knowledge of agile and SAFe, but they're given applications and a mandated way to work. We had to work within their parameters and provide an accurate transition so the data would be mapped and pushed through."
"It allows my clients to have one central tool to manage their agile projects."
"In general, the valuable features of the tool are its capabilities concerning dependency reports and task status."
"The valuable features of the JIRA Portfolio are the customization it provides which is very useful and the Agile project management capability."
"The product's centralized database creates a single source of data for working groups so no data needs to be reconciled."
"The customized workflows we can define are very valuable. JIRA's private projects is very useful as well. There are also a lot of plugins that they provide."
"Portfolio's most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and customer-centric."
"The graphics and the resolution of the work are very good."
"What I like about the product is its extensive features, particularly the wide set of attributes for tracking issues. Jira Portfolio allows us to track not only the overall project but also specific components within it. This is beneficial for all stakeholders, including developers and business owners. For example, business stakeholders can track all issues, regardless of status."
"The feature that we like the most is that JIRA enables modules. Atlassian provides a lot of products around JIRA, such as compliance for the documentation, BitBucket for the Git version. We are new to these products developed by Atlassian, but they can integrate very easily. Generally, when an editor is developing a solution, they think about integrating with JIRA. When we are looking for any other solution, they plan to easily integrate with JIRA."
 

Cons

"Improve how to create and track releases. Currently, I have to create child projects."
"It was not supporting some plugins. We wanted to migrate data that we were already using."
"In my work as a contractor, it's always frustrating when a client has multiple software applications that don't talk to each other and they all perform the same function. That presents a huge challenge between their IT groups."
"The user interface can be improved by adding Save, Edit, Add, Cancel, and Return buttons to the popup windows that are displayed when you click on a child item."
"The machine learning features are a new capability but could be improved. This is being worked by Digital.ai currently. Multicolor simulation, specifically, could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in getting the analytics portion of the solution more integrated with the rest of it."
"Learning JIRA is not so easy. There is a learning curve."
"We are using the on-premise deployment, but it is slower and not as easy to manage as the cloud version."
"When I want to embed Jira Portfolio in a complete HLI cycle, I'm missing things to evaluate my ethic into my value stream."
"I think their view needs to be more user friendly. The UI makes it difficult to find things. Secondly, the configuration is very complex. JIRA should help people find out what configuration they are using."
"As there are no perfect solutions and considering that I rate JIRA Portfolio's stability an eight out of ten, I feel it is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"If you want to generate a report for individual usage, it's difficult."
"Some key features like integration, big data warehousing and data modeling need work."
"Currently lacks AWS integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comparing the pricing to other products, I think this solution is in the middle."
"You get what you pay for. Don't let your development teams dictate what the portfolio management team should use as the main tool."
"I rate JIRA Portfolio a five out of ten for its pricing."
"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."
"Portfolio is well-priced - a license for ten users costs $100 or $150 a month."
"The price could be improved."
"I use the free version for personal use."
"There are free plugins available, but most of them are at an additional cost. Additionally, other services are an extra cost."
"The price is reasonable"
"We have a license to use JIRA Portfolio, we are not using the free version."
