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

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The way to manage cards as a KANBAN, is really easy but when you need to track hundreds of projects, you need to be very clear in which way the things must be completed."
"The tool helps us achieve more within the stipulated timeline and budget."
"The solution is simple to use."
"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 workflow and bucket features are most helpful."
"The best features of JIRA are its flexibility and configurability, allowing us to tailor it to our specific needs."
"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."
"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."
"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

"The setup process for JIRA Portfolio is complex."
"Jira has room for improvement in terms of managing various projects and linking requirements centrally under one project. They could include some add-ons that enable you to link all the requirements and put them into a centralized place. That central place should be restricted to a limited set of users with privileges based on user groups with those rights."
"JIRA and Confluence must be linked automatically."
"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."
"The HR aspect of the solution could be improved."
"The solution should provide a monitoring interface for the customers to have more information about the issues."
"It's got kind of a steep learning curve."
"Portfolio is easy to scale, but we've had some difficulties with it regarding compliance and support."
"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

"Portfolio is well-priced - a license for ten users costs $100 or $150 a month."
"We pay our fees annually, although monthly payments are also available."
"The product is really not very expensive."
"Portfolio is very expensive, costing on average $2000-3000 per user per month."
"The price could be improved."
"There are free plugins available, but most of them are at an additional cost. Additionally, other services are an extra cost."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a six."
"The price is reasonable"
"We negotiate on pricing since we are a long-term user."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
