Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's an open-sourced product that is easy to customize."
"Transparency of development projects, as well as approval processes for some business projects, has improved massively."
"JQL, JIRA Query Language enables me to filter all the issues, display the items as I want."
"Workflow administration is an easy process, especially with respect to defects."
"The most valuable features in Jira are the dashboard, reports, and boards that help us to control the advancement of the project."
"This is a user friendly solution."
"We like team collaboration and cross-functional collaboration."
"The most valuable feature is that it has different APIs available, with good services, and it is completely by the books."
"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

"In terms of improvement, I think Jira (Jira Agile, specifically) can be made more user-friendly. Most of the time, when people are somewhat used to the process, they find it easy to work with. But the thing is, if I want to create a sprint, I'd like the ability for it to come out like a kind of board or something like that. For example, they could offer something like a wizard for users who want to quickly create a sprint on the spot with a few clicks. I think that could be useful."
"In JIRA, it's a bit complex in terms of what advanced search queries we use. Sharing them is also a problem. Because TFS is on the cloud, we can easily save that query and share it with our team members."
"Jira's collaboration and integration with other apps and tools could be improved."
"The solution could improve by having its own tool for quality lifecycle management."
"Lacks some common building block approaches to certain things."
"If they want Jira to be the one-stop shop of the view of all of your deliverables, not just from a defect tracking perspective, but also from a requirement perspective, a code perspective, and a testing perspective, it needs to pull out more data and work better as an integration tool."
"A lot of features, such as time tracking, are only available through the marketplace. If multiple users are working on a user story, we aren't able to pull out the reports. So, there are many things that they aren't offering. They are available only through the marketplace. That's not good for a product."
"Test case management could be more user-friendly. When we add or update test cases, there should be a better way to organize them within the dashboard."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
"Zoho Sprints is a confusing tool, and you need to get used to it."
"The interface of Zoho Sprints is an area with certain shortcomings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. The product offers flexibility in pricing since it depends on the memory bits you have used."
"The basic price of Jira is reasonable, but for each plugin, we have to keep paying more. When you add it all up, it can be expensive. The main problem we face is we are forced to purchases plugin licenses for users who are not going to use them. For example, we have Jira licenses for approximately 450 people but if we only want a purchase a plugin for few people it is mandatory to buy the license for the 450 people who have Jira licensees. This is a problem because sometimes we need plugins for the product manager or for people in charge of the report, not everyone. For us, it can be very expensive in the end, they should alter this policy to allow plugins for only a set number of licenses."
"There is a monthly license required for this solution and it is expensive."
"It is certainly a long-term solution for our company and for previous companies that I have worked for. They have these long-term term licenses, but I'm not sure if they really pay on a yearly basis. They are certainly using it for a really long period and for a lot of users."
"We had a perpetual license but have changed to a subscription."
"It is very cheap if you forego the local instance and stick to the cloud."
"JIRA's pricing is very economical. I would say that JIRA is a great deal more economical than Microsoft."
"I am not sure about the pricing, but I know its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"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."
