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

"The most valuable feature is the dashboard where we can see all of our projects and apply filters to shortlist those projects."
"The most valuable feature of the JIRA Portfolio is the many features it provides, such as code integration, documentation, roadmap, and Eclipse. The solution is useful for product managers."
"We use Jira Portfolio in our organization for issue tracking and task management. We had many projects. We didn't use it much for forecasting, but we did use it a bit for release planning by assigning tasks to releases. We didn't use it for project management or scenario planning; we just used it for tasks."
"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."
"Has many functionalities including good supervision and workflows."
"Portfolio's best feature is integration with other JIRA products."
"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."
"Portfolio is user-friendly, and the escalation in the organization is faster and better."
"This is a very powerful product and I absolutely recommend it."
"Configuring the platform does not require the writing of any code."
 

Cons

"Learning JIRA is not so easy. There is a learning curve."
"There is room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"We are using the on-premise deployment, but it is slower and not as easy to manage as the cloud version."
"Jira has room for improvement in terms of managing various projects and linking requirements centrally under one project."
"When using a scrum board, it only shows the current or open sprint. However, we also need to see past and future sprints, which is important for planning the next sprint. To solve this, we tried using a Kanban board instead, but since we follow the Scrum methodology, it's not the ideal solution."
"It would be nice if it could provide an end-to-end solution for a project."
"If you want to generate a report for individual usage, it's difficult."
"Our major team does not control or manage JIRA server well since sometimes there is trouble using the solution, which is a problem. The solution's speed needs to be improved."
"A lot of companies are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, so more such features would benefit this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a license to use JIRA Portfolio, we are not using the free version."
"The solution is offered at a high cost"
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"I rate JIRA Portfolio a five out of ten for its pricing."
"I do not believe that the product provides value for money since I feel that it is quite expensive."
"Portfolio is very expensive, costing on average $2000-3000 per user per month."
"When we first got the tool, it cost 3,000 euros a year for unlimited users, which was a great deal. But the prices kept going up over the years. I'm not involved with pricing anymore, but I heard they increased a lot, so we decided to stop using it."
"I use the free version for personal use."
