Find out what your peers are saying about Atlassian, Microsoft, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."JQL, JIRA Query Language enables me to filter all the issues, display the items as I want."
"I like the test cases in Jira. The orange dash items view was great, and I like the features and layout of the data. It's quite different, and people are now getting their items so quickly."
"The most valuable feature is project management."
"This solution focuses on lean methodology which we have found useful and it can also be used on any device."
"Its integration with Bitbucket, Confluence, and other things is most valuable."
"Internally we use Jira for our own implementations and capturing requirements and our customers are using the whole tool for the whole software development life cycle. They're using it for the full life cycle of the product."
"The scalability is good."
"In general, the GUI is nice."
"Wide range of adapters/connectors which allow connectivity to any tools."
"We increased our development and testing team velocity, were able to manage traceability, and deliver software faster."
"The plugin management needs a lot of work."
"I find the dashboard to be Jira's most problematic feature."
"Because I am a developer, I would like integration with Git Source Code Management so that for tickets, we can reference the code where the change has happened and where the issue is. This feature might be there, and I probably haven't discovered it."
"Jira can improve by making user management better. It is not easy to have visibility of who has the right to do what. Only the administrator has this visibility but there should be the option for other users too."
"A lot of features, such as time tracking, are only available through the marketplace. If multiple users are working on a user story, we aren't able to pull out the reports. So, there are many things that they aren't offering. They are available only through the marketplace. That's not good for a product."
"The pricing is quite high."
"There should be a way to integrate the mobile application or in some way, make it more clear because at first instance, I didn't understand how to use it."
"Test case management could be more user-friendly. When we add or update test cases, there should be a better way to organize them within the dashboard."
"Needs an easier and less heavy UI."
