Collaborative features improve task management and project tracking
All the business areas are comfortable with JIRA Portfolio.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that it fits very well into an agile framework, and it is especially helpful with the planning aspects."
"The status update function is the most valuable feature."
"The solution helps you organize projects"
"The backlog view feature is highly valuable"
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature. The user experience is very good, it's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the JIRA Portfolio is for managing teams of 10 or more. It can track the program level and portfolio. There are plenty of beneficial features, such as the hierarchy-level view, customization, and structure plugin."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard where we can see all of our projects and apply filters to shortlist those projects."
"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."
"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 setup was very easy. Deployment was very fast for us. We started using it within two weeks."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Teamwork is easy."
 

Cons

"Converting a task into an epic is very troublesome."
"We would love to be able to have direct contact with Atlassian. Currently, they are not working directly with West African countries. We are considering using JIRA Align, but when we contact them, they say that as we are in West Africa, they don't directly work with West Africa."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"JIRA Portfolio's configuration management could be improved."
"The interface JIRA Portfolio could improve."
"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."
"JIRA Portfolio could improve new implementation because if I want integration for the complete wide frame tools it cannot provide any wide frame tools."
"The workflow needs improvement."
"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."
"The product is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is expensive."
"This solution has a comparable pricing in comparison to other similar products on the market."
"The price is reasonable"
"Portfolio is well-priced - a license for ten users costs $100 or $150 a month."
"I use the free version for personal use."
"We have a license to use JIRA Portfolio, we are not using the free version."
"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."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"We negotiate on pricing since we are a long-term user."
