Collaborative features improve task management and project tracking
All the business areas are comfortable with JIRA Portfolio. JIRA Portfolio has many features that we have not yet explored or utilized fully, but the power of JIRA Portfolio at this moment for the several areas in the business has been a very comfortable experience. The cloud accessibility and quick task creation capabilities make collaborating with the tool a great feature for working with my team. Users can assign tasks to one or two people who can collaborate and document their work. That feature is amazing in terms of collaboration. While the tool does not currently support meetings, if JIRA Portfolio incorporates meeting functionality in the future, it would greatly enhance the process, especially for tasks requiring teams from different areas.

It streamlined our project management and resource management process.
I think the functionality with the reporting capability can be improved and I know there's a new version of KeyedIn coming out. I haven't had the opportunity yet to look at the new version, but I would say that reporting is actually one are for improvement. The way their functionality is set could be improved because, basically, what it does is: you can pull a resourcing report and you can pull a financial report, and it seems like they pull from different databases. You're not always able to compile all the data into one report. You have to pull separate reports to look at different data. That's one thing that I found that has been kind of hard with KeyedIn, because you can't view all the data you want into one report. It's not that flexible. You have to work with two separate reports in order to come to look at the data that you want. I would say that's one area for improvement: You're just not able to filter all the same data into one report. I'm also looking for integration here. Integration with, for example, a BI platform. We're implementing a BI platform here. I know that in KeyedIn, there's no real data connector that connects straight – although you can still connect via API - but KeyedIn does not have a data connector right now. I talk to the rep each week and that's something that I think would be a big win for KeyedIn. If it had a data connector already, it would be easier to integrate with other platforms.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have found the solution to be stable."
"There are several features that I like, for example, the way we can categorize the statuses of our tasks is great, we can build any number of columns to show the different status of the progress status of our task, it is customizable and offers great integration with other products, like HP or ASD portals or any other third-party portal."
"The solution's tracking capabilities helped ensure we had full visibility into planned work and scheduled work."
"The solution is simple to use."
"Jira's Structure, agile, and Kanban boards are helpful. I also like JQuery, which allows you to fetch the relevant set of data. We use JQuery, JQL, and the Structure board a lot. Kanban boards help us monitor daily tasks, and we review the progress using the burndown charts."
"Portfolio's best feature is integration with other JIRA products."
"The graphics and the resolution of the work are very good."
"The solution is very powerful and the underlying structure of it is well done. The company behind the solution is very open as far as their whole ecosystem is concerned. They also do a lot of work in the training area."
"It is a practical and useful tool which benefits both us and our clients."
"KeyedIn has been very valuable in helping us streamline our process here in terms of project management and resource management."
 

Cons

"It would be really nice if the solution provided a heads-up every time they enhance something or add new features."
"We had to use assistance for the initial setup."
"The tool is very open, which leads to a lot of error, confusion, and end problems."
"When I want to embed Jira Portfolio in a complete HLI cycle, I'm missing things to evaluate my ethic into my value stream."
"If you want to generate a report for individual usage, it's difficult."
"In the next version, I would like to see better reporting and safer plugins, as well as easier scalability."
"Some key features like integration, big data warehousing and data modeling need work."
"With Jira, an issue that arises is the length of time it takes to show certain data."
"I would say that reporting is actually one area for improvement. You're just not able to filter all the same data into one report."
"It was more complicated than it needed to be, but with a KeyedIn implementation manager it was not an issue."
