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.
Venu Vashistha - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Good reporting, quick configurations, and helpful support
It's a cloud-based setup, so there's no challenge in getting everything up and running. The downtime should be minimal. I'd rate the process nine out of ten in terms of ease of deployment. There is a three-month implementation exercise that we control. We have five people who were part of the implementation and maintenance process. They are admins and web developers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Portfolio's most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and customer-centric."
"The product's integration capabilities work pretty well, especially considering that more tools are always needed in enterprise-sized businesses."
"The reporting feature is comprehensive and easy to use, which aids in planning and forecasting."
"The feature that we like the most is that JIRA enables modules. Atlassian provides a lot of products around JIRA, such as compliance for the documentation, BitBucket for the Git version. We are new to these products developed by Atlassian, but they can integrate very easily. Generally, when an editor is developing a solution, they think about integrating with JIRA. When we are looking for any other solution, they plan to easily integrate with JIRA."
"The stability of JIRA Portfolio is very good."
"Managing product development and managing inter-team communications are also valuable features."
"Jira Portfolio is useful for tracking time and hours. It's easy to manage, create tickets, and change the status of delivery reports. It's not complicated."
"The reporting part is very good."
 

Cons

"The query features should improve in JIRA Portfolio. For example, if I would have to create my own queries for looking into something such as what business features we have released last month, or the last three months, I don't know if I can do it. The solution requires a certain level of expertise."
"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."
"JIRA and Confluence must be linked automatically."
"There is room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"The integration capabilities of JIRA Portfolio could be enhanced."
"I think the solution can improve in graphs and the analysis part."
"The solution is sometimes complex to use"
"It would be really nice if the solution provided a heads-up every time they enhance something or add new features."
"Some of the reports could be automated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Given the solution’s significant functionality, benefits, and value, you get more than you pay for."
"I rate JIRA Portfolio a five out of ten for its pricing."
"The pricing of the solution is expensive."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"Portfolio is very expensive, costing on average $2000-3000 per user per month."
"The solution is offered at a high cost"
