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

"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."
"In our workflow, we utilize a dashboard. Our product development backbone relies on two-week sprints. At the beginning of each sprint, we conduct a planning meeting to discuss and challenge the backlogs. Throughout the sprint, we conduct daily sessions to review code, ensure alignment with coding standards, and address any issues. Once all tasks are completed, we proceed with the deployment process."
"The deployment phase of Jira Align wasn't difficult."
"Jira Align's most valuable features are the roadmap, the program board, and the reports."
"The epic linking part is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The interface of Jira Align is very easy to use and manage"
"The reporting structure is great."
"Velocity and reporting provide good visibility, burndown charts, and particularly velocity measurement."
"The solution is flexible."
 

Cons

"Jira Align's user interface needs improvement because its user experience is really bad."
"I would like to see Jira Align merge and integrate better with Jira as a whole. A lot of the time, the data from Jira won't map very well into Jira Align."
"There is some capacity planning kind of a feature out there. I tried to use it, however, it was really not clear how to use it, how it gets reflected and all."
"Deployment was very complex."
"The workflows are scalable from portfolio to individual level but can sometimes be complex to navigate."
"Jira Align should reduce the many information fields we need to provide while closing defects."
"I think the customizable reporting in Jira is inadequate as well compared to Azure DevOps."
"The product should improve its communication. My English proficiency is not high, but writing in English is another skill that you need. Maybe AI can help here. Because I can see in some other applications, they have AI helpers. So when you write something and you want to do something, it can help. For example, Google Cloud Platform has it. They have a helpdesk for it. When you want to create a cluster, it can help you."
"It is hard to keep up with changes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Jira Align is an expensive solution."
"Jira Align has price packages for different purposes."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Jira Align a seven out of ten."
"The pricing and licensing costs are rated lower, around six mainly due to significant increases in licensing costs that were not well-received by users."
"Jira Align's pricing is reasonable."
"Our customers buy licenses. We are not involved in its purchase."
"Jira Align was reasonably priced then, especially for a bundle license that accommodated around 50 monthly users."
