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

"Its integration with Bitbucket, Confluence, and other things is most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of replication of tickets."
"It helps me to use virtual Scrum boards across four locations, three time zones, and to plan my work. It fully supports the Scrum approach, and the Agile way of working, and it has Agile thinking behind it.."
"We can cope with processes easily without adapting the tool, but adapting the tool to processes."
"The most valuable feature of Jira for sprint planning is the timeline feature, which allows for better visualization and planning of releases."
"I like it for team collaboration and task management. I also like its analytics and dashboards."
"I think one of the most powerful features in Jira is the customization of fields and workflow."
"Jira is user-friendly and offers many features."
"Zoho Sprints is stable with minimal downtime."
"Zoho Sprints is a defect-logging tool."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Zoho Sprints can be integrated with other Zoho products, providing additional functionality."
 

Cons

"Slow when integrating with other components."
"The work items structure is not hierarchical and that needs to be changed. It's too flat."
"There could be some improvements in the project management and portfolio level features."
"There is always a bit of a performance problem. It's a bit slow to load the whole data."
"I would like to see visualization of release planning. I can list the releases and I can give dates to releases, but to show how they are happening on a timeline, I would need to order the Portfolio part. But just for this, it may be too much to use the Portfolio for that."
"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."
"The user interface and views on different devices should be improved."
"For a non-technical person to use, Jira is not intuitive."
"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

"We had a perpetual license but have changed to a subscription."
"If I compare Jira's licensing model with that of other products, I think that the other products have a much better licensing model."
"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."
"I don't feel that price is an issue."
"The price at the moment for Jira is okay. I'm absolutely not amused with the plans to try to drive us to the cloud or to other licensing models. For the very simple reason that we are a company in the defense sector where cloud is problematic in a number of the domains. We are now approximately 60 users and the new policy will actually confront us with an upscale to approximately 500 users. I find it unacceptable, and may potentially lead us to look for another solution."
"We are on an annual license and could be less expensive."
"Almost everybody uses JIRA nowadays because it is the most cost-effective solution."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"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."
