"Overall, the solution is very nice and has a variety of great features."
"The customization and tailoring of the workflows have proven to be very useful."
"A very comprehensive product; easy to set up and is very user-friendly."
"Kanban boards are most valuable"
"The task management aspect of Jira is pretty pure. They have a lot of great plugins that really expand your options."
"Our company follows the Agile methodology for software development, and this product is one of the best tools for companies that do so."
"The ability to design your own workflows is a great feature."
"All departments can work with the same platform."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is integration."
"Some of the valuable features are version control and the ability to create different collections in terms of segregating the authorization for teams who connect to small projects."
"The most valuable feature from my point of view is project management, which includes user stories as well as task management."
"The most valuable feature is simplicity."
"The initial setup is fairly easy."
"The solution is very much stable."
"I feel that the test plan and test tools are more manageable in TFS."
"Basically, the capacity to construct various products is something I find handy."
"Jira's collaboration and integration with other apps and tools could be improved."
"I would like to see more integration available with more tools."
"It would be very practical if you can more freely reach the information that is already inside the system. Currently, we have to buy add-ons for it. There is a lot of information in the Jira system that you can handle only through add-ons. You cannot reach such information on your own. If you want to use this information, which is already in the system, you have to buy some add-on to use. For example, information about how much time an assignee is spending on a ticket is there in the system, but you cannot access it without an add-on. JQL is a very good way to reach the data inside Jira. If we can reach more objects, even through JQL, it would be great."
"Once the solution is deployed, it's not easy to configure."
"Because I am a developer, I would like integration with Git Source Code Management so that for tickets, we can reference the code where the change has happened and where the issue is. This feature might be there, and I probably haven't discovered it."
"I don't know if it's the way it's deployed in the organization, but the interface we are provided is not as customizable as other tools. The multi-language report is not enabled in our installation. I don't really know if it's something related to the tool or our installation."
"There should be a way to integrate the mobile application or in some way, make it more clear because at first instance, I didn't understand how to use it."
"Pretty much 70% - 80% of the Next-Gen Projects features are still to be developed."
"It has been really dated. When you start to work more in an agile environment, it is not really that flexible. They tried to replicate the look and feel of Jira, but it is not quite there. It was nice to use in the past, but it is not as flexible now with the changing development environments and methodologies."
"They should have design patterns in TFS for the development team, and design patterns for the QA."
"The project management side should be addressed and the project and release planning should be somewhat extended."
"TFS isn't a great tool if you're on the cloud."
"There's not automatic access to test case management and execution."
"This solution is quite old and it is already being bundled as Azure DevOps Server."
"I'm looking for specific options that aren't currently available, such as active status, new status, or what's currently in progress."
"The usability of TFS is not that great."
