"I like how user-friendly, visual, and intuitive it is.

Cons
"If I get a feature but there is not a user story, and I want to know which epic it belongs to, it is really hard to figure out.""The integration needs to be done with different tools.""In the next release, Portfolio should include more metrics and develop their portfolio planning.""With Jira, an issue that arises is the length of time it takes to show certain data.""The interface JIRA Portfolio could improve.""This solution is not able to be integrated with other solutions because you have to upgrade it and pay for more licensing.""Their interface is a little unique and I think that's partly because the core of the product has morphed into several sub-products, but the underlying architecture has stayed the same on all of them in that it was originally a help desk ticketing system. It's a very tech-focused product and that's fair given its origins, but if they really want to expand their community of users, then they're going to have to move beyond that a little bit and polish it up.""There is room for improvement in terms of scalability."

More JIRA Portfolio Cons →

"Trello cannot be integrated with other tools like Jira and Google Workspace.""The solution could be priced cheaper.""The dashboards and flexibility to adjust the timeline view for each task are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement.""Trello does not provide you with as many functionalities as Jira and various third-party integrations provided by these different platforms.""Reporting features could be improved.""Although it has many useful features, the one thing I don't like about Trello is that it constantly sends out unimportant notifications.""It's really simple, which is a good thing, but it only does one thing for us.""The tool should be able to predict the task completion dates based on the date assigned and sprint dates. It is also not commercial compared to competitors."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This solution has a comparable pricing in comparison to other similar products on the market."
  • "The pricing of the solution is expensive."
  • "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 pricing continues to get higher."
  • "The product is really not very expensive."
  • "We pay our fees annually, although monthly payments are also available."
  • "The price could be improved."
  • "We have a license to use JIRA Portfolio, we are not using the free version."

  • "Maybe it would be better if they offered some extra tiers, so you don't have to go all the way up to the pro level."
  • "I use the free version of Trello, which is sufficient for my day to day use."
  • "I am tinkering with the free version."
  • "The free version of Trello covers all of the bases and all of our needs, so there's no cost involved for us. This is surprising for such a quality platform with no limitations on the key functionalities, though it also has a paid version."
  • "Its pricing is good. It is about $6 per license for what we use, but then there are other plans as well, such as $12 a month. I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
  • "The pricing for this solution is reasonable."
  • "We are currently using the open-source option."
  • "Paying for the solution's license is worth it only if our enterprise or organization can use Trello, integrated with some other solution, and we can have good reports."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer: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.
    Top Answer:I rate the pricing a six out of ten on a scale where one is cheap and ten is expensive.
    Top Answer:We are based in India; I would like the product to integrate local pricing. We earn in rupees but spend in dollars. Its pricing could also be lowered.
    Top Answer:All the features are valuable but the data extraction is extremely helpful for automation.
    Top Answer:Unstructured data cannot be directly used; it needs to be structured first. The recording session works well, but introducing dynamic control can cause glitches and loss of control. To address this… more »

    Overview

    Jira Portfolio is an agile roadmapping tool designed to help teams build plans, envision the big picture, track progress, and share the process with stakeholders.

    Jira Portfolio is planned based. A plan in Portfolio is a complete view of the tasks, teams, and release dates for your Jira projects.

    Once you start to create a plan, there are three main factors you need to define: 

    • Scope: A list of tasks that need to be carried out in order to complete the plan.
    • Teams: Who will be implementing the work? With the correct data in place, Portfolio can estimate how long it will take for the team to complete their tasks.
    • Releases: Your scheduled release date.

    With Jira Portfolio, you can create a visual timeline to gain visibility across each of your teams and projects in a single place from a granular level and review cross-team and cross-project dependencies to prevent bottlenecks. This visibility can help you plan realistic release dates and manage your team’s capacity. The solution allows you to try out different scenarios with your roadmap and resources to help guide your decision making. Once you have a solid plan, you can easily integrate with Jira Software and commit your changes.

    Jira Portfolio allows managers to easily add team members. The tool’s powerful scheduling algorithm assigns tasks to teams while taking priorities and dependencies into account so it can create a realistic forecast for project completion. 

    Jira Portfolio Benefits

    Some of the top benefits of using Jira Portfolio include:

    • Roadmaps and roadmaps dependencies: Roadmaps list details about the tasks that need to be executed in order to complete a project, as well as predictions for when they will be completed, which teams are in charge of the task, and a list of resources they require. By setting dependencies on your team’s roadmaps, unnecessary bottlenecks are avoided.  
    • Integration with Jira: Jira Portfolio is dynamically integrated with your Jira Software project data and constantly pulls your latest data from Jira Software, allowing you to plan your projects with updated information.
    • Envision scenarios: Create what-if scenarios and save them to Jira if you decide to adopt them.
    • Reporting: Share capacity reports and more to allow team members and stakeholders to gain visibility and insights into the process.
    • Task completion estimation methods: Estimate how long a specific task will take and compare these estimations with the actual time to completion to help assess team performance and efficiency and improve the accuracy of estimation calculations over time. 

    Reviews from Real Users

    Jira Portfolio stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its roadmap creation tools and its flexibility.

    Meeta L., a lead product manager at a tech vendor, says, “The valuable features of the JIRA Portfolio are the customization it provides which is very useful and the Agile project management capability.”

    Juan P., a senior IT project manager at Avantica, writes, “Portfolio helps us increase the visibility of projects' status and management with remote workers who make up most of the company.”

    Trello is the visual collaboration tool that creates a shared perspective on any project. Trello’s boards, lists and cards enable you to organize and prioritize your personal and work life in a fun, flexible and rewarding way.
