As for improvements needed for Inflectra SpiraPlan, I don't know if there are much more to improve, but in the case of creating users when you want to create roles, there's a checkbox that gives access to the users. There should be one checkbox that can click everything at a time and then you can just uncheck the few ones that you don't need. Most times you want to check almost all the boxes and just leave a few, but then you have to check a lot of boxes one after the other. For someone who tries to work really smart, that impacts our time, so a single checkbox to select all would be great.

Long-term agile tracking has supported development but reporting has required workarounds
I know Jira as Jira; I have used the cloud and I have used on-premise. It is an issue tracker. My experience has been positive, as it is an okay tool, but I like Azure DevOps better. I assess the dependency management feature as okay, but again, Azure DevOps is better; it is more customizable. I find the scenario planning features are okay, but if you have a good Scrum Master or Agile coach, you can get a lot better insights just by looking at the data. We export most of what is in Jira to Power BI so we can run better reports.
