Neeraj Chaudhari - PeerSpot reviewer
Delivery Leader : Digital Productivity Studio at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
Aligns with agile frameworks for streamlined project management
User experience should be more intuitive. Currently, it's not that intuitive. Additionally, a lot of querying and customization is needed for reporting. If there could be some templates out of the box, it would be helpful. Making the report creation process faster and easier with drag-and-drop features would be beneficial.

Responsive support, good third-party integration, and offers hybrid-mode project management
There are a lot of features. The most valuable feature is the ability to implement different scenarios. For example, a big company can implement its next three-year strategy along the two or three main pillars of the approach. Each pillar is composed of several portfolios, and each of those is composed of different projects. When you define the strategy for the next three-year budget, you can analyze the impact of each option. Based on this, you can decide things like assigning more or fewer resources to a project. You can allocate generic resources, like a project manager. Then in the second stage, you can assign names such as who specifically will be in charge of a project. You can do the same thing with all of the human resources that are involved. It provides the capability of integrating with the Agile Scrum component module. There is also integration with third-parties like Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, Check Point, Jira, ServiceNow!, and others. There is the separation between execution from a technical point of view where the staff can work in a classical workflow, Agile, or a hybrid Agile. The project manager and program manager will receive the high-level information needed to keep strict control over the project. You are able to do whatever is needed from the customer's point of view, without coding. Configuring the platform does not require the writing of any code. This is something that is very important. As soon as a new informational structure is created, it will be immediately available for the business intelligence module. This means that you can perform analytics on it. The BI module is very helpful. There is no comparison between it and other BI tools that are available right now. The network uptime is greater than 99%.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its stability is very reliable."
"Portfolio's most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and customer-centric."
"It allows me to do the capacity management and it allows me to qualify my ethics, and that's what the capabilities I was searching for in a solution like Jira Portfolio."
"One of the advantages they claim is it's so easy to get up and running, as opposed to some of their competing tools out there that require a lot of configuration on the backend or what have you."
"The workflow and bucket features are most helpful."
"The most valuable feature for me is the visualization and organizing of the tasks. We can have a pick, and then we can stick the multiple issues under that, and then we can again have a sort of hierarchical installation, and that's very useful."
"The workflows are the most valuable feature of the solution, whether for tasks, bugs, or chain requests from the site. I also like the solution's GUI, which is easy to navigate for everyone."
"There is significant return on investment as the benefits are numerous; the tool provides tracking for projects and activities, with detailed insights into which team members worked on activities and the time invested in each task."
"This is a very powerful product and I absolutely recommend it."
"Configuring the platform does not require the writing of any code."
 

Cons

"The data query language needs improvement."
"Another thing could be to have an easy way to manage the Portfolio and have more ways to share and to show graphics and reports"
"The initial setup could use improvement."
"The setup process for JIRA Portfolio is complex."
"We are using the on-premise deployment, but it is slower and not as easy to manage as the cloud version."
"Requires some effort to insert functionalities and that could be simplified."
"The solution should provide a monitoring interface for the customers to have more information about the issues."
"JIRA Portfolio could improve new implementation because if I want integration for the complete wide frame tools it cannot provide any wide frame tools."
"A lot of companies are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, so more such features would benefit this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We only have nine people using it so we have a standard cost of $150 dollar per year. There are only additional costs if you exceed the limit of users, then you start paying by user. The cost is significantly higher."
"The price could be improved."
"This solution has a comparable pricing in comparison to other similar products on the market."
"We have a license to use JIRA Portfolio, we are not using the free version."
"The pricing continues to get higher."
"We pay our fees annually, although monthly payments are also available."
"Given the solution’s significant functionality, benefits, and value, you get more than you pay for."
"I do not believe that the product provides value for money since I feel that it is quite expensive."
