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

"The status update function is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Has many functionalities including good supervision and workflows."
"The reporting feature is comprehensive and easy to use, which aids in planning and forecasting."
"Portfolio helps us increase the visibility of projects' status and management with remote workers who make up most of the company."
"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 product's integration capabilities work pretty well, especially considering that more tools are always needed in enterprise-sized businesses."
"I use it to plan and schedule the things I take care of. I can create and share a document if I want to discuss new ideas with my team remotely."
"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

"Another thing could be to have an easy way to manage the Portfolio and have more ways to share and to show graphics and reports"
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"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 solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"JIRA Portfolio's configuration management could be improved."
"I think that front-end development is a little bit buggy in some cases. Some of the features take a while to respond and some need to be more clear."
"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."
"Requires some effort to insert functionalities and that could be simplified."
"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

"I do not believe that the product provides value for money since I feel that it is quite expensive."
"The price is reasonable"
"The price could be improved."
"Given the solution’s significant functionality, benefits, and value, you get more than you pay for."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"I use the free version for personal use."
"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."
"There are free plugins available, but most of them are at an additional cost. Additionally, other services are an extra cost."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"We negotiate on pricing since we are a long-term user."
