Efficient project management that's comprehensive and and helps with time efficiency
We use Jira primarily for project management within the organization. It helps us manage tasks, bug management, and tracking tickets effectively. We assign tickets to individual team members and track them easily For project management, Jira has helped facilitate efficient task segregation and…

Good for reporting, but a little rigorous in its methodology and not conducive to real project management
It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome. For example, I have a hard stop date and I would like a project to end by a specific date, but this is not how this solution works. It sorts of spits out the project date based on your resource availability, dependencies, and so on. This sort of project planning works in theory, but that's not always the case. It also relies heavily on resources entering their time into the system, that is, how much time they worked on each of the tasks so that it can sort of consistently update the project. I know that in a lot of organizations, including ours, it is almost impossible to get them to track the time. In terms of additional features, they can include more integration with Microsoft because integration is going to be a key functionality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to use and user-friendly."
"JIRA's technical support is absolutely fantabulous. I had used it in the past when I was working at my previous organization. And when we wanted to link it with a framework, they helped us out with the API we were looking for."
"Being able to automatize the deployment of the solution has been great."
"Jira is a comprehensive tool for managing projects. It helps in task segregation and assignment, making it time-efficient for employees."
"We like team collaboration and cross-functional collaboration."
"I think one of the most powerful features in Jira is the customization of fields and workflow."
"The solution offers a lot of plugins."
"This product provides you a good view of the status of your projects."
"Its dashboards and reports are the most valuable. We are able to share these reports and other information with our leadership."
 

Cons

"The solution lacks integration with visualization tools like Power BI or Tableau, which would be beneficial for better insights."
"I would love to have more features to make nice documents, like Release Notes or a feature overview, right from JIRA."
"I'm really new to Jira and I haven't used all of the features. However, it is quite difficult to use and manipulate. It was a little complicated for me and I don't know if it's difficult globally for others, but I had a difficult time understanding it at first. I used it for issues, epics, stories, tasks, and sub-tasks. For first-time users, Jira could be made better to help them understand."
"In Jira, sometimes developers are not getting alerts when Jira is moving out of the SLA to the product development team."
"There is always a bit of a performance problem. It's a bit slow to load the whole data."
"The GUI should have much better features like more graphical illustrations. There are some cases or benchmarks that we are trying to capture into a dashboard GUI's graphical summary, but unfortunately JIRA is not able to do that."
"Lacks some common building block approaches to certain things."
"I think that there is some ease of use that could be brought in to improve certain things."
"It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome. For example, I have a hard stop date and I would like a project to end by a specific date, but this is not how this solution works. It sorts of spits out the project date based on your resource availability, dependencies, and so on. This sort of project planning works in theory, but that's not always the case.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have the number, but I sure wish Jira was less expensive. Its price point should be a little lower, and it should be more flexible for users who are just ticket viewers."
"We are using the enterprise license which is nice because it ensures that we always have the latest versions of Jira software."
"I am not sure about the pricing, but I know its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The standard package of Jira is for 100 users. They should offer more packages for other increments, such as 500 or 2,000. In my previous company, there was a free package that provided a minimal number of users."
"It does not cost that much."
"I think the starter pack of three users, up to five users, is free. So you can try it out."
"If I compare Jira's licensing model with that of other products, I think that the other products have a much better licensing model."
"We had a perpetual license but have changed to a subscription."
