Featured Reviews

Saroj Ekka - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good repository integration, sprint board and easy to set up
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. We can know the capacity and what happened with the whole sprint, but not for an individual person to see where it's falling and how it's tracking. Report and analytics capabilities are important for a product manager. That visibility is important, so we use Jira. Some of the features are there, and I use my own Excels or other data things to compensate for that.
Taha Khaleel - PeerSpot reviewer
A flexible, stable, and scalable tool requiring an easy initial setup phase
The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution. With the buttons or the options on the screen in Teamwork, it is important to provide users with a little description of what each option does so that it helps you do your work easily without focusing on the interface.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its integration with Bitbucket, Confluence, and other things is most valuable."
"Jira is very useful for project management for internal projects."
"The way it interfaces with Bitbucket and other things like that is valuable. Reporting and being able to link various issues or stories together are also valuable. We call them stories, and they're general reports."
"When we run the Jenkins pipeline, the build is already automatically connected to Jira. We've been able to integrate the ecosystem we created using this automation tool."
"Jira's collaborative features, such as comments, notifications, and real-time updates, facilitate better communication."
"Reports, analytics, and a ton of widgets, they are great and intuitive. Perfect for an agile team."
"It's easy to escalate the issues to the product development team."
"It is a very convenient tool. We can organize our sprints through scrum or kanban. There are scrum boards, and there are kanban boards. If you prefer scrum, you can use Jira. If you prefer kanban, you can still use Jira. You can create your kanban boards in a similar way as you create your scrum boards. It is very useful. It also seems to be very popular these days."
"The setup was very easy. Deployment was very fast for us. We started using it within two weeks."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Teamwork is easy."
"Teamwork has made process management easier and much better. It is very robust and improves by making a lot of changes. It is easy to use and has lots of reports."
 

Cons

"The reporting needs to be better."
"Lacks some common building block approaches to certain things."
"Atlassian has multiple tools and it becomes difficult for a customer to process everything differently. Atlassian should combine them and form a single solution for DevOps by including the Jira Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo, and others. This would be much easier for customers by purchasing a package, rather than purchasing bits and pieces. With Azure DevOps and other companies, it becomes easier to go with one company having multiple areas that they can cater to, but in Atlassian, the problem is that you have to select different solutions to have a full package. For example, to have document management customers have to purchase Confluence and for Git repository management they have to purchase Bitbucket, et cetera. There is always another add-on that you need to attach to have a complete solution in Jira."
"Tracking is important but the built-in features don't meet our needs."
"The solution's stability could be improved, and it could be made more robust."
"I have noticed a problem with Jira in the Philippines. In the Philippines, there are only a few companies that offer local support, which is alarming."
"The documentation on how to create dashboards and take advantage of other features in the tool are areas where the tool has certain shortcomings."
"The history with Jira is that it is a bit complex for many users."
"The product is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar."
"The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution."
"The product could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."
 

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."
"It's not very cheap. It's also not very costly. I'd rate it a five out of ten in terms of pricing."
"I don't feel that price is an issue."
"The price of Jira is reasonable."
"We used to be on a perpetual license provided by our clients."
"We have an enterprise license that includes cloud service and support."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive. We pay annually for the solution."
"We feel that the product is a good value for the cost."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"We negotiate on pricing since we are a long-term user."
