Neeraj Chaudhari - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Has good analysis integration capabilities."
"The solution includes good and fast notifications for other project team members."
"The product's centralized database creates a single source of data for working groups so no data needs to be reconciled."
"The best features of JIRA are its flexibility and configurability, allowing us to tailor it to our specific needs."
"The most valuable feature of JIRA Portfolio is the visuals it provides rather than Kanban boarded tickets."
"It is a good scalable solution that I have used for small projects and reasonably large projects."
"We use Jira Portfolio in our organization for issue tracking and task management. We had many projects. We didn't use it much for forecasting, but we did use it a bit for release planning by assigning tasks to releases. We didn't use it for project management or scenario planning; we just used it for tasks."
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature. The user experience is very good, it's easy to use."
"Teamwork has made process management easier and much better. It is very robust and improves by making a lot of changes. It is easy to use and has lots of reports."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Teamwork is easy."
"The setup was very easy. Deployment was very fast for us. We started using it within two weeks."
 

Cons

"Converting a task into an epic is very troublesome."
"Learning JIRA is not so easy. There is a learning curve."
"Requires some effort to insert functionalities and that could be simplified."
"The integration needs to be done with different tools."
"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."
"Portfolio is easy to scale, but we've had some difficulties with it regarding compliance and support."
"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."
"As there are no perfect solutions and considering that I rate JIRA Portfolio's stability an eight out of ten, I feel it is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution."
"The product is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar."
"The product could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."
 

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."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a six."
"The pricing continues to get higher."
"The price is reasonable"
"I do not believe that the product provides value for money since I feel that it is quite expensive."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
