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 solution provides users with clarity in terms of the scope of work in a given timeframe."
"We like team collaboration and cross-functional collaboration."
"The burndown chart is also helpful when it comes to reporting and allows us to know where we are going, especially during development."
"It also works well with all the integrated tools that you buy."
"Some of the features that are most important to me of JIRA Agile are the sprint planning, being able to write user stories and being able to use task management."
"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 is flexible and accessible for the end-user. It lets users track their requests. The look and feel are good for our purposes."
"With the help of Jira, tasks are less likely to remain stagnant for a long time. We always see them somewhere on the board."
"The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."
 

Cons

"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 Classic UI is a little bit messy. UX experience is also a little bit messy and is not according to the expectation of a tech user."
"They could improve the solution by having a multiple project dashboard to be able to manage many projects KPI's at once, this would really be helpful."
"It would be ideal if Jira had future functionalities to integrate more easily with various aspects of code reviews."
"There's a really steep learning curve for configuration."
"The thing I don't like is that it is hard to decide which dropdown options should be selected. When we try and submit it, it will state that there are certain mandates in place. It won't allow us to submit the form unless we fill out all the details."
"An area for improvement in Jira is that it's not designed for test management. To use it for test management, you need an add-on or several add-ons, e.g. Xray or Zephyr."
"The CACD solutions on JIRA has some plugins, but they are not easily understandable or workable."
"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different tracking tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"To try this solution, use their cloud offering to get familiar. After that, it's in my view worth the money."
"There is a monthly license required for this solution and it is expensive."
"If you are using just Jira, it is cheap, but if you start to use it and you feel you need some more services or more functions, then you have to buy add-ons, which can make it expensive."
"We feel that the product is a good value for the cost."
"I am not sure about the pricing, but I know its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"It is very cheap if you forego the local instance and stick to the cloud."
"We are using the enterprise license which is nice because it ensures that we always have the latest versions of Jira software."
"Pricing is probably in the middle, it's not the cheapest but it's not the most expensive."
