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%.

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."
"There are several features that I like, for example, the way we can categorize the statuses of our tasks is great, we can build any number of columns to show the different status of the progress status of our task, it is customizable and offers great integration with other products, like HP or ASD portals or any other third-party portal."
"The product's centralized database creates a single source of data for working groups so no data needs to be reconciled."
"The documentation is very well done."
"The solution has good reporting and is very user-friendly."
"Jira Portfolio is highly scalable; you can manage user connectivity and add more licenses within the tool, and it's very simple and easy."
"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."
"JIRA has helped us reduce the rate of unseen or undetectable issues in the future. It has also helped us understand the demand overload across the defense team, including capacity and availability, and how we can leverage different teams to ensure overall success."
"This is a very powerful product and I absolutely recommend it."
"Configuring the platform does not require the writing of any code."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product could do with more flexible reporting."
"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 solution should provide a monitoring interface for the customers to have more information about the issues."
"The solution's look and feel could be a bit more intuitive and user friendly."
"The kanban board could also use some more filters."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"The workflow needs improvement."
"A lot of companies are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, so more such features would benefit this product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Portfolio is well-priced - a license for ten users costs $100 or $150 a month."
"Portfolio is very expensive, costing on average $2000-3000 per user per month."
"The product is really not very expensive."
"The solution is offered at a high cost"
"I rate JIRA Portfolio a five out of ten for its pricing."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a six."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"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."
