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.

IT Automation Architect at a hospitality company with 10,001+ employees
A highly stable and flexible solution that provides modules that are far superior to any other tools in the market
It's hard to learn the best practices. It is hard to keep up with changes. There's a lot of great improvements. We don't always know about them. There have been a lot of changes in the suggested uses of the product over the last five years. There are some things that we don't even know about. It would be nice to have an idea of the vision of the use of the product compared to how we're using it. For example, the solution is so customizable that we can create a form and drop half the fields. However, someone else might think the dropped fields are important for AI. I won't be using it because I don't know. So, my results will end up being substandard because of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Jira Align's most valuable feature is the view of strategic control reports for high-level directors."
"The epic linking part is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"Jira is great for small and enterprise organizations and I highly recommend it for startups."
"The tool helps us to stick with the timeline and budget of our projects. It also helps me to identify dependencies and red flags and intervene wherever possible. I have found the key metrics tab also useful."
"Align enables the capture of all capabilities and that's its best feature."
"The linking of PI Objectives with different features was one of the cool things, and it had features, epics, and stories out of the box."
"The most valuable features of Jira Align are its product roadmap and reporting."
"The solution is flexible."
 

Cons

"In my company, we found the solution to have many issues regarding its ability to handle claims and other processes since the solution is not available on a single window."
"I've encountered limitations in using Jira Align for certain aspects, particularly in implementing OKRs. Jira Align's highest hierarchy is Epic, which may not always align perfectly for specific initiatives. Additionally, while Jira Align offers functionality for tracking OKRs and generating dashboards, I've found that it lacks in some areas. As a result, we've explored alternative solutions that better meet our needs in these areas. Its Kanban feature is also limited."
"The synchronization between Jira and Jira Align takes too long and that is something that they could work on."
"Jira Align has price packages for different purposes. Users must do their own research and see if it fits their purpose."
"The solution needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to provide an integrated view of how other tasks are to be tracked. It would be also useful to see the integration of Confluence, Teams, and Slack into the product. I want to be able to communicate directly with others while using the product. I am also not sure if the integration of third-party alternate workflow tools like SAP would be possible."
"The product needs to improve its configurations."
"We decided not to go with AgileCraft because of the expense of doing it."
"Jira Align should reduce the many information fields we need to provide while closing defects."
"It is hard to keep up with changes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"At our company, we were concerned about the cost of Jira Align, which is expensive"
"The software is very good, but the price is expensive. Our licensing costs are on a monthly basis, but there are no additional costs to the standard license fees."
"I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing. The price of the solution depends on the number of people using it and the projects you are working on."
"The license for Jira Align is priced fairly."
"The tool is moderately expensive."
"Jira Align has price packages for different purposes."
"Jira Align's pricing is reasonable."
"Jira Align is quite expensive for small-to-medium companies, but it's quite reasonable for larger ones."
