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 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 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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it fits very well into an agile framework, and it is especially helpful with the planning aspects."
"The solution has good reporting and is very user-friendly."
"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."
"Has good analysis integration capabilities."
"This is a very powerful product and I absolutely recommend it."
"Configuring the platform does not require the writing of any code."
 

Cons

"Some key features like integration, big data warehousing and data modeling need work."
"The initial setup was complex."
"We would love to be able to have direct contact with Atlassian."
"If you want to generate a report for individual usage, it's difficult."
"It's hard for people to learn. It's got kind of a steep learning curve."
"In the next release, Portfolio should include more metrics and develop their portfolio planning."
"The kanban board could also use some more filters."
"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"
"A lot of companies are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, so more such features would benefit this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay our fees annually, although monthly payments are also available."
"We have a license to use JIRA Portfolio, we are not using the free version."
"Portfolio is well-priced - a license for ten users costs $100 or $150 a month."
"I do not believe that the product provides value for money since I feel that it is quite expensive."
"There are free plugins available, but most of them are at an additional cost. Additionally, other services are an extra cost."
"The pricing continues to get higher."
"The price is reasonable"
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
