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 product makes it easy to collaborate even though it can use some improvement in that area."
"The product's integration capabilities work pretty well, especially considering that more tools are always needed in enterprise-sized businesses."
"Has many functionalities including good supervision and workflows."
"The solution helps you organize projects"
"With JIRA, you can do amazing things by developing connectors, embedding features, and adding new fields to create new things."
"The developers can simplify tasks and each one of them can undertake a task and then they continue with development. Our processes are more efficient and easier for our manager and developers to track them. Their work is more organized."
"I like JIRA portfolio the most out of any tool I use for my job."
"The solution includes good and fast notifications for other project team members."
"Configuring the platform does not require the writing of any code."
"This is a very powerful product and I absolutely recommend it."
 

Cons

"The product presently lacks visualization capabilities"
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"We would love to be able to have direct contact with Atlassian. Currently, they are not working directly with West African countries. We are considering using JIRA Align, but when we contact them, they say that as we are in West Africa, they don't directly work with West Africa."
"With Jira, an issue that arises is the length of time it takes to show certain data."
"Converting a task into an epic is very troublesome."
"The solution should provide a monitoring interface for the customers to have more information about the issues."
"Jira has room for improvement in terms of managing various projects and linking requirements centrally under one project. They could include some add-ons that enable you to link all the requirements and put them into a centralized place. That central place should be restricted to a limited set of users with privileges based on user groups with those rights."
"In the next release, Portfolio should include more metrics and develop their portfolio planning."
"A lot of companies are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, so more such features would benefit this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Portfolio is very expensive, costing on average $2000-3000 per user per month."
"Given the solution’s significant functionality, benefits, and value, you get more than you pay for."
"The product is really not very expensive."
"We pay our fees annually, although monthly payments are also available."
"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."
"There are free plugins available, but most of them are at an additional cost. Additionally, other services are an extra cost."
"This solution has a comparable pricing in comparison to other similar products on the market."
"I rate JIRA Portfolio a five out of ten for its pricing."
