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.

A project management tool that helps to manage milestones and dependencies
We use the product to design online courses. It also helps us with media production and marketing.  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. The product is expensive. It needs…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There is significant return on investment as the benefits are numerous; the tool provides tracking for projects and activities, with detailed insights into which team members worked on activities and the time invested in each task."
"Portfolio's most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and customer-centric."
"I think the solution's most important and valuable feature is its ability to track the issues."
"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 most valuable feature is the dashboard where we can see all of our projects and apply filters to shortlist those projects."
"Version management is the most valuable feature of JIRA Portfolio."
"The solution helps you organize projects"
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature. The user experience is very good, it's easy to use."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"User experience should be more intuitive."
"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."
"There should be an integration of efforts between the cloud service providers' side and JIRA Portfolio."
"In the next release, Portfolio should include more metrics and develop their portfolio planning."
"JIRA Portfolio's configuration management could be improved."
"We had to use assistance for the initial setup."
"When using a scrum board, it only shows the current or open sprint. However, we also need to see past and future sprints, which is important for planning the next sprint. To solve this, we tried using a Kanban board instead, but since we follow the Scrum methodology, it's not the ideal solution."
"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 is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar."
"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 could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"We have a license to use JIRA Portfolio, we are not using the free version."
"The product is really not very expensive."
"The pricing continues to get higher."
"Portfolio is well-priced - a license for ten users costs $100 or $150 a month."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a six."
"The solution is offered at a high cost"
"This solution has a comparable pricing in comparison to other similar products on the market."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"We negotiate on pricing since we are a long-term user."
