It is a great solution. I absolutely love it. It is a tool that was designed for project management, and it has been awesome to work with it so far. I also love Confluence."
"There are a lot of plugins in Jira and we purchase the ones we need."
"It's an open-sourced product that is easy to customize."
"It is a complete solution. It has more features as compared to other tools, especially the open-source one that we use. It is also easy to administer."
"It gave us control over all test artifacts in one place, along with easy traceability, mapping between stories, bugs, test cases, and test cycles."
"JIRA stores history of changes, which helps a lot to track who, when, and why the issue was modified."
"We like team collaboration and cross-functional collaboration."
"This solution focuses on lean methodology which we have found useful and it can also be used on any device."
"We can install it on mobile phones, making it feasible to manage productivity."
"The product is easy to use and has good responsiveness."
"The product is easy to use and has good responsiveness."
"The product has a valuable feature for databases. It has a table and a calendar view and saves various documents in the system."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility...The initial setup of Notion is easy."
"The ability to structure data is one of the most essential functions of Notion."
"Notion is a great tool for note-keeping and note-sharing."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The part when it comes to the testing area is a bit hard to handle. The screen is too small, you can't really read what you're typing in, and it's only for the testing area. It looks like they have pressed in more than the UI system could handle to display it properly."
"The sprint-related graphics need to be improved."
"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."
"Something I would like to see improved is the traceability feature. When you have a user story, if you can see all the test cases, it would be an improvement if you could see any design documents or any change management."
"Sometimes, it is slow and hangs. We faced some stability issues where JIRA was down for a day. Also, we have lost some of our comments made in the JIRA because of downtime."
"There are some features and reports we need that are not there. For example, if I have to find out the capacity of the current sprint by user and compare it with the previous sprint, that visibility isn't there."
"Reporting is something Jira could work on. The reporting capabilities should have the same flexibility we see in Excel, including the ability to manipulate data and create graphs. They need to have that, so we don't need to export to a spreadsheet."
"We'd like to use it with non-Agile projects in the future, however, right now, it is a very Agile-focused product."
"There could be an automation feature included in the product."
"Adding more color options to the application would enhance its usability and flexibility, allowing users to better customize their content"
"It is complicated to connect Notion with external systems."
"The linked view of database, along with the sharing and permission settings, are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"Notion's UI needs improvement."
"One area for improvement in the solution is the absence of integrated charts."
"There could be an automation feature included in the product."
"Notion's UI could be better."
