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.

End-to-end project management capabilities and offers seamless vendor and client contract alignment

The system is old, so there are several issues that arise when we fetch data from integrated systems. Sometimes the data gets stuck, and there are instances where we need to access multiple pieces of information simultaneously. This creates problems that I have personally experienced. Therefore, these aspects need to be much more free-flowing and seamless. If something gets stuck, it takes time to resolve, and during the contract phase, we have Service Level Agreements (SLAs). If those SLAs are breached, it becomes problematic. Given that there are approximately 3000 projects running concurrently worldwide, utilizing the system with a vast database and numerous activities taking place. It could benefit from decentralization. Currently, it operates as a central system, but if it could be centralized for specific subsidiaries, it would be easier for us to manage.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"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 number one feature is that the product makes it easier to collaborate."

"The dashboard is the most valuable feature. The user experience is very good, it's easy to use."

"The solution has improved our organization by allowing us to create our own customization, track the live status of all the flows on one page, get a single view of our progress, and have a quality overview."

"It is a good scalable solution that I have used for small projects and reasonably large projects."

"The most valuable features of the JIRA Portfolio are the ease of use, many developers are familiar with it."

"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."

"Managing product development and managing inter-team communications are also valuable features."

More JIRA Portfolio pros

"It improves productivity, cash flow management, and inventory control for clients."

"The integration portion with SAP models is valuable."

"The stability is good, and I have nothing bad to say about it."

"The SAP PPM software is a very complete solution."

"SAP is gradually introducing more flexibility and customization options to the system, allowing users to adapt it to their specific needs."

"With SAP Portfolio and Project Management we were able to have a full track of project progress and get useful insights about our projects."

Cons

"Requires some effort to insert functionalities and that could be simplified."

"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."

"I think their view needs to be more user friendly. The UI makes it difficult to find things. Secondly, the configuration is very complex. JIRA should help people find out what configuration they are using."

"There should be an integration of efforts between the cloud service providers' side and JIRA Portfolio."

"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."

"We had to use assistance for the initial setup."

"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 automation in JIRA Portfolio could improve, it takes some time. We have to do some other tactics to have the same integration. Manually integrating something will take more work than if it was automated, but the automation scripting in the solution is not simple."

More JIRA Portfolio cons

"The product itself could have an advanced analytics layer with an improved user interface that is adapted to the new digital era."

"The system is old, so there are several issues that arise when we fetch data from integrated systems. Sometimes the data gets stuck, and there are instances where we need to access multiple pieces of information simultaneously."

"It would be valuable if SAP integrated seamlessly with some products like Jira and Bitbucket."

"The platform's support structure needs improvement."

"The initial support package of version 5.0 has some setup difficulties."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"The pricing of the solution is expensive."

"We pay our fees annually, although monthly payments are also available."

"The solution is offered at a high cost"

"The pricing continues to get higher."

"We have a license to use JIRA Portfolio, we are not using the free version."

"The product pricing varies based on whether the client is new or existing and the complexity of their business processes."
