JA
Flexible and stable with excellent technical support
I am the end user. I have a contract to provide testing for customers, however, ultimately the owner of the tool is the customer. For this reason, we're not direct customers. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I don't like to put 10 due to the fact that I'm sure that something can be improved. That said, if the customer gave me the option to select a product, I'd select SpiraTeam over other tools. The facilities of the tool are more or less the same as the facilities of the ALM or other tools that are in the market. However, the customer support from Inflectra makes you feel like they are working with you. That is the gap in the quality that other options lack. They fix any issue very quickly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup and configuration are straightforward and relatively simple."
"The solution is fast and very accessible."
"Some of the features that are most important to me of JIRA Agile are the sprint planning, being able to write user stories and being able to use task management."
"In terms of product management, Jira increases productivity and visibility into the product. Those are the top benefits this tool provides to the team. Also, it's accessible to the executives and whoever wants to sign on to Jira to see what's going on."
"Offers a common language set so we can bring people into projects and get them up and running almost immediately."
"All of the tracking features are the most valuable because it allows me to see where we stand today and every day."
"Jira as a structure has Confluence for documentation, and for what it is offering it is a strong suit with Atlassian."
"I found it super useful, as it is customizable for different teams and users."
"The most valuable feature is managing software development."
"Jira improved our team collaboration by providing visual visibility and transparency. Everyone could see what tasks were being worked on and the progress made. The development team updated task statuses, making tracking progress and planning sprints easy. If there were any impediments or challenges, we addressed them. This process helped us track our progress."
 

Cons

"It would be great if they worked more closely with other solutions. There needs to be better integration with the platform for development purposes."
"They need to continue improving the interface with the third-party options."
"it would be helpful to have a better tutorial for learning and to have a better understanding of what the features are and what they do."
"In Jira, sometimes developers are not getting alerts when Jira is moving out of the SLA to the product development team."
"Its search and reporting can be improved. They are already nice, but they can be further improved."
"Backlog pruning and visualization are poor."
"The filtration could be better."
"When you first start to use the interface, it is confusing."
"It should be less expensive."
"Having more seamless integration with Confluence would really help us track our product management activity and other product details in one place."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I don't have the number, but I sure wish Jira was less expensive. Its price point should be a little lower, and it should be more flexible for users who are just ticket viewers."
"Jira is expensive and a lot of people are choosing DevOps because they are cheaper, open-source, easy to use, and have basic licenses. Jira should decrease its price to be more competitive."
"I don't feel that price is an issue."
"The price at the moment for Jira is okay. I'm absolutely not amused with the plans to try to drive us to the cloud or to other licensing models. For the very simple reason that we are a company in the defense sector where cloud is problematic in a number of the domains. We are now approximately 60 users and the new policy will actually confront us with an upscale to approximately 500 users. I find it unacceptable, and may potentially lead us to look for another solution."
"There are other solutions that are free making this solution seem expensive in comparison."
"The pricing is much higher than other similar solutions available in the market, and as such, the vendor should think about a price reduction to make this product more affordable."
"We are a regional research and education institute. We're using the free license provided for educational institutes."
"The cost is about $10 per user, per month."
