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…

Flexible and intuitive with easy reporting, and good support that is instantly available through chat
It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different bug tracking tools at the same time. This is not an issue if you only have one bug tracker but we can potentially use different tools for different projects. As an example, if you connect PractiTest to Jira for one project, that's the one you have to use for all projects. We had a requirement to connect with Jira for one project, and a different tool for another, project but it was unable to accommodate that unfortunately. I would therefore like to see it easier to integrate with bug tracking tools at project level which would give each project the opportunity to use a different bug tracker if required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the feature of assigning. Whenever I have an issue, Jira doesn't stop at just letting me describe the issue. I can also assign the issue to a developer, and the developer gets notified about it. After he is able to work on it, he can update the status and revert back to me through the same platform. It really avoids a lot of communication over email and phone. This the feature that I really like about Jira. I always use Jira with my team."
"The most valuable feature is the full integration between Work management, Source code management, and Test Automation."
"We have found the structure, functionality, and how Jira handles the tickets most valuable."
"The most valuable features are that it is good for tracking the issues and it provides for the usage of Confluence."
"The way we can define and customize the search queries for the tickets in Jira is most valuable."
"Reports, analytics, and a ton of widgets, they are great and intuitive. Perfect for an agile team."
"It is very straightforward and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is project management."
"The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."
 

Cons

"The performance and stability are visibly degrading since the database has been growing every year."
"The work items structure is not hierarchical and that needs to be changed. It's too flat."
"The sprint-related graphics need to be improved."
"The tool should improve its pricing."
"The pricing is quite high."
"There is a difficulty viewing all the attachments because they are shown in one place. I would like attachments to be shown at the comment level."
"There's a really steep learning curve for configuration."
"The reporting capabilities, specifically customized reports, should be improved. The out-of-box reports don't meet our needs. We are big into customizing our reports, and being able to do ad hoc reporting would be good."
"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different tracking tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One of my customers told me that they were receiving better pricing for a similar tool from Microsoft."
"There is an annual subscription to use Jira."
"We are on an annual license to use Jira."
"I think the starter pack of three users, up to five users, is free. So you can try it out."
"Almost everybody uses JIRA nowadays because it is the most cost-effective solution."
"Worth the extra cost."
"We feel that the product is a good value for the cost."
"There are other solutions that are free making this solution seem expensive in comparison."
"Pricing is probably in the middle, it's not the cheapest but it's not the most expensive."
