Agile workflows have streamlined sprint planning and tracking for faster feature delivery
Jira has a very good interface and it is very easy to manage sprints, tasks, and epics. The main feature is the hierarchy, as features can be converted into epics and topics, allowing bigger tasks to be partitioned into smaller ones. The hierarchy feature in Jira helps the team significantly compared to other tools that have been used, such as Trello, which is mainly useful only for a waterfall model. For modern Agile practices, Jira is the most adapted tool in the industry. Another valuable feature is that Jira APIs have been used for data science projects to analyze tasks and get insights. This has also been very helpful in the project.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The links between tickets are very valuable and the boards I found to be configurable and usable. The boards allow some level of extended configuration and they can be customized according to our project needs. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"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."
"The product is good, stable and very cost-effective for small teams."
"Scaling the product wouldn't be difficult."
"All of the tracking features are the most valuable because it allows me to see where we stand today and every day."
"I liked the flexibility of the application. It was pretty user-friendly."
"Jira is user-friendly and offers many features."
"Jira has been a good l tool for collaborating across large groups of people. The JQL feature is powerful and easy to use."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Zoho Sprints is stable with minimal downtime."
"Zoho Sprints is a defect-logging tool."
"Zoho Sprints can be integrated with other Zoho products, providing additional functionality."
 

Cons

"It would be good if we can grant access based on the roles. This is something that Jira can look into. Currently, anyone with Jira access can access everything. Being able to define access based on the roles will give us more flexibility in managing Jira. I would like to have more reports in Jira. Currently, eight or nine reports are there. You can use Screen Test to get more reports or data from Jira, but you will have to get more add-ons, plug-ins, and stuff like that. It would be good if they can increase the number of reports."
"There's been the odd amount of JIRA downtime (not self hosted) and sometimes tickets that can't be accessed."
"Some small issues with stability."
"From an automation perspective, there are more aspects that could be needed, especially regarding natural language reporting in the generative AI context."
"I want the tool to integrate connectors."
"This solution could be improved by including a different model for the overall planning perspective. There's a Jira portfolio that we aren't using. The only challenge we're facing is that we cannot see the overall planning."
"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."
"In Jira Cloud, integration with Excel is missing. Previously, I could import our Excel files into Jira, and I could also download a big Jira report in the Excel format, but now, it needs to be manipulated after that, which is not good. It looks like they've done that on purpose, but I don't understand the reason for it."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
"The interface of Zoho Sprints is an area with certain shortcomings."
"Zoho Sprints is a confusing tool, and you need to get used to it."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"To try this solution, use their cloud offering to get familiar. After that, it's in my view worth the money."
"The price of Jira could be lower."
"Worth the extra cost."
"Its price is fine, but we would like it to be less expensive. We are paying on a yearly basis."
"We are on an annual license to use Jira."
"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 had a perpetual license but have changed to a subscription."
"It's not very cheap. It's also not very costly. I'd rate it a five out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Zoho Sprints is a more cost-effective solution than Jira."
"The price of Zoho Sprints is between 10 to 25 USD per user per month."
