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.

"The solution is very powerful and the underlying structure of it is well done. The company behind the solution is very open as far as their whole ecosystem is concerned. They also do a lot of work in the training area."

"The backlog view feature is highly valuable"

"The setup was very easy. Deployment was very fast for us. We started using it within two weeks."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"The solution is sometimes complex to use"
"JIRA Portfolio could improve new implementation because if I want integration for the complete wide frame tools it cannot provide any wide frame tools."
"Some key features like integration, big data warehousing and data modeling need work."
"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 integration needs to be done with different tools."
"Learning JIRA is not so easy. There is a learning curve."
"The product presently lacks visualization capabilities"
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Portfolio is well-priced - a license for ten users costs $100 or $150 a month."
"The solution is offered at a high cost"
"I rate JIRA Portfolio a five out of ten for its pricing."
"Given the solution’s significant functionality, benefits, and value, you get more than you pay for."
"We only have nine people using it so we have a standard cost of $150 dollar per year. There are only additional costs if you exceed the limit of users, then you start paying by user. The cost is significantly higher."
"The product is really not very expensive."
"Portfolio is very expensive, costing on average $2000-3000 per user per month."
"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."
