Jira Reviews

I use the solution for software project management and software lifecycles. Jira covers the entire process from requirement analysis to deployment. 

I prefer Azure DevOps and Microsoft Ecosystem to Jira. 

I consider Azure DevOps to be more user-friendly and to provide a better user experience. I feel Jira to be a bit difficult to work with. I specifically recall that i encountered difficulties with Jira when I wished to receive or generate a report. Azure DevOps offers a simpler and more user-friendly panel than Jira. Jira's reporting panel is not user-friendly and a bit on the difficult side. Azure DevOps also offers more options for generating queries and reports, especially when it comes to great dashboard visualization capabilities for the monitoring of one's project. This poses a big problem with Jira, as Azure DevOps does a better job of providing this feature. 

I find the dashboard to be Jira's most problematic feature. I do not like it and feel Jira is troublesome when it comes to visualizing the reports. These should be improved. 

Azure DevOps offers more simplified processes, maintenance and development than Jira. 

I used Jira for around one year, at which point I left my previous company and made use of it in the new one I joined, where I continued to do so. 

I find the solution to be stable, though a bit hard to use. 

We have not encountered difficulties with the scalability. 

We have had no issues with support. As with Azure DevOps, we take advantage of the open community and forums for resolving any issues which may arise.

We make use of the solution free of charge. 

My recommendation, for sure, is that a person go with Azure DevOps. 

I rate Jira as a six out of ten. 

Some of the use cases are for tracking issues and bugs.

I am responsible for an administering job for Atlassian Jira at my company. I'm working for some of the major IT companies in Kazakhstan.

The solution is deployed on-premises.

The solution is valuable because it's pretty flexible. It allows you to do a lot of stuff, and the functionality is pretty rich. It integrates well with other products, like GitLab, that we are currently intensely using at the company.

The solution could be more user-friendly.

I have been working with Jira within the past year.

The solution is pretty stable.

The solution is scalable. There are a few dozen users using this solution. We might increase the usage in the future.

I previously worked with ClickUp and would suggest using it. It's a competitor to Atlassian Jira.

When it comes to functionality and usability, I think ClickUp is better, but compared to Jira, ClickUp's drawback is their integrations with other products. The product is not old enough to be mature.

Jira is more flexible and more integrative with other products, and ClickUp is more user-friendly. The functionality is pretty rich.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10. 

The only thing that I'd like to advise is to just monitor the market and keep an eye on comparison between the Jira and ClickUp.

We use Jira as a help desk, an IDSM. We use it on a daily basis. Every ticket gets opened on it.

It's very simple to change the workflow and adapt it. Jira is very user friendly for the agent and the user.

It's a very customizable solution, but as a customer, we're always looking for additional customization. There could be better customization in future releases. If we changed from Atlassian to another product, we would look for a customizable solution.

I have been using this solution for many years.

The stability of Jira is good. We haven't had any issues with stability or performance.

It's a license-based software, so if you pay more for the license, the solution becomes more scalable.

Customer support is usually good. I have had no issues with them. 

Setup was straightforward. There is no dedicated team for maintenance. Our IT department handles that. It's a simple solution.

There are no additional costs to the standard licensing.

I would rate this solution 10 out of 10. I recommend Jira. For the time being, everything is good. Their support is good. The platform is good. There are no issues with them on any level. We mainly picked Jira because of its stability, integration, and price. If a solution is well integrated in our environment, and it's not costly, why not configure it?

The biggest thing I have taken away from working with Jira is that it's very simple.

As a lead consultant, I assess the testing maturity and suggest how our clients can improve what they're doing. I also carry out training sessions for Jira and other solutions as to how they can effectively use the solution. 

I like the ease with which we can do our workflow administration, especially with respect to defects. We can do good work with the boards, whether it's a Kanban or a Scrum board. It's much easier with Jira than with other tools. 

The solution could be improved with respect to how the end-to-end is managed from product backlog creation until test completion. Although it can be customized, if there was a standard out-of-view box feature or a workflow, that would be helpful. There are features that are currently not out of the box and lack end-to-end traceability, such as the business value of a particular feature. It would be great if that were included. 

I've been using this solution for over two and a half years. 

The product is stable. 

We are currently working with an enterprise client and we are able to scale easily. 

Jira's technical support is good. 

I previously used HP ALM, as well as TestRail, which is now focused more on test management. ALM was the major tool that I used before we started using Jira.

The licensing costs are reasonable. 

This tool has good capabilities but you really need to know what you want to do and freeze down your requirements before using it. It can be challenging when people don't understand the difference between Kanban and Scrum, and how you use those boards effectively. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

Our company is a consulting company and then we are an Atlassian partner as well. Therefore we use many functions of Jira. It's sometimes project management and sometimes to communicate to outside customers.

The solution is very fast.

It's a very useful tool. Jira is very useful for project management for internal projects. 

We can easily communicate with many things easily in Jira.

There's the ability to easily customize the product. There's lots of great potential functionality.

The solution is stable.

You can scale the product very well.

We'd like to see more collaboration tools implemented within the product itself. 

The product needs to allow for more communication between individuals and teams. 

The solution could always use better reporting. 

I've been using the solution for four or five years. 

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. it doesn't crash or freeze. 

This is the type of tool that would work well for any size of organization, from a smaller company to a very large enterprise. 

The product is very easy to scale and extend the user license. In terms of functional expansion, for projects, it's very easy to expand. You can do so in no time. It's very quick.

For the most part, we are satisfied with technical support. Sometimes in some areas, if you find a bug on Atlassian, they respond quickly. However, sometimes, they are slower. It can really vary. For the most part, they really try to get to things quickly. 

The initial setup is different and is case by case, however, for a single person or scrum team, it's not too hard. The process is simpler on smaller setups. The more processes the company needs, the more complicated the solution gets during implementation. 

We have our own engineer team internally that handles maintenance. We have no problem with maintenance tasks. It's not too hard to handle. 

We provide implementation services to our customers.

Jira pricing is very difficult to pin down. They stopped another licensing version earlier in the year, in February. Now they have only data center licenses and then cloud licenses. These are more expensive than a server license. With a server license, you pay once. When you get a cloud license, it's an ongoing annual cost. We would have preferred if the old licensing model was kept.

We are Atlassian partners. 

We are using the current version, the latest version right now.

We use both cloud or on-premises deployment models. It's a hybrid approach.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I'd recommend the product to other users. 

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.

I never had an issue with it at all. Everything I needed to do was always there. Everything is cool.

It should have Behavior Driven Development (BDD). There should be an option to add macros to help with that. A lot of people are using it now, and it would be nice if there was a way in there to be able to generate the BDD of commands whenever you're creating a story.

I have been using this solution for probably 8 to 10 years. I have used it at different companies. Cloud is the way they had it set up.

There were probably about 600 users, and they were from top management and all the way down to the testers. So, pretty much everybody used it.

I would rate it at least a 9 out of 10. That's because I never had any issues with it. It always did what I needed it to do.

We use Jira in our organization for lifecycle management.

The solution has helped our organization do lifecycle management easily.

I have found the most valuable features of Jira to be ticketing, life cycle workflow, definition, and creation. Many of the features are useful.

The solution could improve by having its own tool for quality lifecycle management.

I have used Jira for approximately nine years.

The stability of Jira is good.

Jira has good scalability.

We are using this solution extensively. We have more than 5,000 using the solution in my organization.

We have been satisfied with the technical support from Jira.

We have used in-house developed tools previously and we had to do a lot of customization and this is why we moved to Jira.

I would recommend this solution to others, it is a good option.

I rate Jira an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for our own projects.

The solution, for the most part, offers good usability.

The ordinary user has an interface that is very clear.

It's very easy to collaborate, especially on-site when there are a lot of moving pieces. It's a great collaboration tool.

Some of the interfaces, especially on the administrator side and for permissions, are not so clear. They aren't very user-friendly.

For admin to get permissions and stuff like that for their members it's a little confusing sometimes. That said, the rest is very clear.

The integration of what we call "Issues" in Jira could be better. The Issues integration with Bitbucket Pipelines could be better. If Jira can provide an easier way to configure and use this functionality, that will be helpful for workers.

I've been using Jira for more than ten years now. It's been a while at this point. 

I looked at other options, however, Jira is so famous and well known that I did not have to look for other software.

We are a customer and an end-user. We use Jira for internal projects. I'm a Java architect.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. I'm very satisfied with its capabilities.
