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.

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%.

Pros

"Portfolio's most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and customer-centric."
"I think the solution's most important and valuable feature is its ability to track the issues."
"The customized workflows we can define are very valuable. JIRA's private projects is very useful as well. There are also a lot of plugins that they provide."
"The way to manage cards as a KANBAN, is really easy but when you need to track hundreds of projects, you need to be very clear in which way the things must be completed."
"The feature that we like the most is that JIRA enables modules."
"The most valuable feature of JIRA Portfolio is the visuals it provides rather than Kanban boarded tickets."
"The graphics and the resolution of the work are very good."
"The most valuable features of Jira are the dashboards where we see all the features lined up with the release dates in the portfolio view, it is very good."
"This is a very powerful product and I absolutely recommend it."

"The HR aspect of the solution could be improved."
"The team-centric view is slightly weaker in JIRA compared to its competitors, especially considering how I can evaluate how each resource has been placed, not just in one project but across JIRA."
"The kanban board could also use some more filters. We just had a project where the deployment for Jira didn't have any ETA, and it's a requirement for the client. We accommodate a lot of issues on the board, so the workaround was to create boards by project, not client."
"A lot of companies are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, so more such features would benefit this product."
