Jira Reviews

We primarily use the solution for collaboration purposes.

The solution has basically been problem-free so far.

Overall, we've found the product to be quite flexible.

The level of stability is quite good.

The product can scale if you need it to.

I'd like the solution to be more secure.

I've been using the solution for about six months at this point. It hasn't been that long. I've been using it for less than a year.

We've enjoyed the stability of the solution. It's good. It doesn't crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. The performance is reliable.

The solution can scale quite well. If a company needs to expand it out, it can do so with relative ease. It's not a pronblem.

Not too many people use the solution in my organization. There are fewer than ten users right now.

We do not have any plans to continue to use the solution, let alone increasing usage.

I've never directly dealt with technical support. There was never a need to call. Therefore, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. There was never an opportunity to interact.

We did not previously use another solution before implementing Jira.

I didn't handle any aspect of the installation, and therefore I can't speak to how easy or difficult the implementation was. I'm not sure how long the deployment itself took. I was just handed my login and I was good to go.

As I wasn't involved in the installation process, I can't speak to if a consultant or integrator was used. I have no knowledge of that being the case. 

I can't speak to how much a license costs or the process behind setting one up and renewing it. I just use the solution. I don't handle sales or billing.

I'm just a customer and an end-user. I don't have a business relationship with Jira.

It's my understanding that we are using the latest version of the solution, however, I am not 100% positive that is the case. I don't know the version number off-hand. I am also not sure which deployment model we are using and if it is deployed on cloud or on-premises.

I'd recommend the solution to other organizations.

I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten overall.

We use the solution to track all projects and management activity.

There are a lot of plugin integrations available right now that are continuously being updated. We have recently worked on ways we can integrate with the DevOps.

I have found the tracking, project and task management most valuable in this solution.

They could improve the solution by having a multiple project dashboard to be able to manage many projects KPI's at once, this would really be helpful.

In the next release, I would like to see task creation management simplified and overall usage streamlined for new users.

I have been using Jira for four years.

We are extensively using this solution for all of our projects across the entire enterprise. It has shown that it is able to be scaled effectively.

I have never had any problems with this solution to need to use the technical support.

The installation was not complex, I did not find any difficulites.

I would advise others wanting to purchase the solution that they can improve their business UX. This solution has been established in the market and is commonly used in many project management sectors because it can be easily used once you have experience. If you are new to this solution it could be confusing to some people because there is not a proper project flow. For example, Once you create a ticket or any task, you are not able to see what you just created in the notification area. Currently, you receive a pop-up and it will go off after some time, if you do not click the pop-up when it comes up you will have to refresh, go back to the project, and then find out the task from there. This could be simplified in the future.

They provide a product that is very good but in terms of a presentation, they have room to improve.

I rate Jira a nine out of ten.

There are so many use cases for Jira. If it's got something to do with IT, it will be covered by Jira. They have a very extensive marketplace and you can find nearly every solution there, including version controlling, source control for the code, automation, test automation, security scanning, configuration, and development management. 

What I find valuable about Jira is that it's an ecosystem. Sometimes, it does not provide the best-in-class solutions, but it's so well integrated. You will not have many problems with integration.

The transfer of the functionality between testing or pre-production and the production environment could be improved. It would be helpful to have more automation in this area.

I have been using this product for three years. 

In general, the core of the product is very stable.

Approximately 150 users use this product at our company. One comment I would have regarding scalability is that I noticed Jira is not yet ready for the Docker platform. I think they are working on this and it will improve the scalability of the product. 

Overall, their support is okay. Many topics are covered in their documentation or on Atlassian. We receive support from a local partner.

We previously used SISA. 

The initial installation was straightforward for us. What could be improved is the migration between the testing and production environments. This could be automated somehow as the manual transfer of certain workflows and functionalities is very time consuming right now.

Our primary use cases for this product are project management, customer relationship management, internal management, and collaboration.

It's an open API. We also have the best community to support any problems that we have.

Cost could be improved. The pricing is quite high. I could also see there being a need for improvements in software product management, project planning, and DevOps. 

I have been using Jira for six years. 

It is stable. 

The product is used on a daily basis by 2,000 people. However, it is not easy to scale. 

Technical support could be made more efficient and localized. 

The initial setup was somewhere in the middle. Not very simple; not very complex. 

We worked with consultants and deployment took us two months. All maintenance has been handled by vendors from outside of the organization. 

The integrations with other solutions, such as BitBucket for pull requests and the check traceability, are pretty good. That's about it. I'm not a big fan of the solution overall.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward.

The solution, in general, is a poorly designed and confusing product. The user experience is not ideal and the user interface is convoluted. The interface in particular could use a big refresh as the actual navigation within the interface is not particularly smooth.

The work items structure is not hierarchical and that needs to be changed. It's too flat.

There's excessive scope for customizing the project and the platform. Therefore, there are too many integrations, which leads to very high levels of complexity in terms of management.

Key indicators that are useful to Agile teams such as burn-down charts or burn-up charts, cumulative flow control, et cetera, are available, however, they're not easily accessible from the default user view, whereas they should always be present. Key indicators must always be present. They actually take a couple of clicks to actually get to them.

I've been using the solution for two years. It hasn't been too long.

The solution is very stable. It doesn't crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. It's reliable in that sense.

The solution is scalable. If a company wants to expand it, it can do so.

We have about 200 people who use the solution currently. They're mostly software developers but they're end-users as well.

While the solution is being used extensively, we're fine with maintaining our current level of usage.

Technical support is very good. We're satisfied with the level of support that is provided to us. They are knowledgeable and responsive.

I've personally used lots of other solutions, however, when I moved to this company, they already had Jira deployed. Jira is the only system of its type that's been used here.

The initial setup is not very complex. It was pretty straightforward. If a company wants to implement it, the setup should be pretty simple.

There's ongoing integration work on a project like this. Therefore, the initial setup was only a few days, however, then, as you add things to it, you add more time to the deployment.

We are a customer and end-user of the product.

I would highly recommend not using this product if your focus is software development. Organizations should seriously consider alternatives such as Azure DevOps or TFS, which are more focused on modern interfaces and more accurately modeled to modern workflows.

I'd rate the solution at about a three out of ten. It doesn't really offer a whole lot that's actually usable from a software development context beyond extremely simple and free alternatives.

We use this solution for project management.

It can be used across a team. Managers can assign tasks and then they can track the progress. They can put the start dates, end dates, and everyday comments.

They can upload the relevant files to that module.

Jira is used to manage a sprint, which is the terminology used in the agile practice of project management. Sprints can be tracked fully using the Jira software. A sprint is typically a part or a subset of the entire work. It has a definite goal.

For example, if I am building test software, and building the login page is one module, then I can track the work created from the starting stage to the end.

It's a part of an entire software application. If a login page of a website is a subset of an entire website, I can track that right from when it started, how long it takes, what is pending, and how long the control test is.

Basically, you can clump it all together as if it is a team and you can measure the speed of the team. It enables the predictability of a project and helps determine when it can go live.

All of the tracking features are the most valuable because it allows me to see where we stand today and every day. 

At the end of the day, I look to see what is pending, what is as per my expectation or as per the speed, and what is not going.

I can put in my comments or give a direction, or tag any other person if they need any help if they are stuck.

The user interface could be much better, although it's good enough to do the job.

I don't see the mobile application for this particular application. I use it on PC. I tried to download the application, but there are some constraints to using it. It doesn't link properly, it doesn't detect my Jira board, even when I have entered the name. I don't know how to use that app. I download and tried, but there is confusion. There is no clarity on how I can map my desktop account with the mobile application. There is definitely room there to improve. 

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.

We have used Jira over the last seven months.

It's a stable solution.

We have a team of eight members who are using Jira. They are divided into teams with each team using different boards. 

For example, one team is managers who are using it, whereas another is a team of developers using a different board that can be created and used for their purposes.

I have not been in a situation where I have needed technical support. Everything has gone well.

The installation is typically done by my IT team. I don't have exposure to that.

Prior to Jira, we were evaluating Microsoft tools, but I don't recall the name. Possibly Microsoft Task.

We were evaluating Microsoft products for the same purpose.

The decision is a collective team decision. It may have been that Jira is easier to implement across the company.

It is a well-crafted product. I don't have any concerns.

I would rate Jira an eight out of ten.

We use one version of Jira internally and we also have another version of Jira that we use externally for our customer. We've been using it for both.

Internally we use Jira for our own implementations and capturing requirements and our customers are using the whole tool for the whole software development life cycle. They're using it for the full life cycle of the product.

The Defect section could be improved. When you're trying to keep track of the requirements and the Defect section, this setup could be done better.

I was struggling to set it up. I wish the whole workflow process was easier to set up. You put the requirements in and then you send it to the developer. They get a notification. Then they go into Jira.

We have been using Jira over the last 12 months or more.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Jira a seven.

To be a ten, there should be more options where you just click and drag. That would be nice. It's hard to copy and paste requirements. You lose your formatting and everything. So just simple navigation stuff should be improved.

We primarily use the solution for customer service and managed services, and for all the workflows for the services. It's also a bit of a CRM. We use it largely for technical support.

The solution provides an integrated platform for customer service. It's good at organizing our technical support for clients.

The solution has been very stable overall. We haven't had any issues with performance.

The pricing is reasonable. It's not too expensive.

The UX and UI could be better. It's something they need to improve upon. It needs to be updated and made more modern.

It would be ideal if the solution could be available as a mobile application.

We would like the solution to be a little less costly, although, overall, the price isn't bad.

I've been using the solution for five years or so. We've been using it for a while at this point.

I've found the stability to be very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the performance has been good.

We've never reached out to technical support for help in the past. I wouldn't be able to speak to the level of service they provide.

We did not previously use another solution. We do not want to switch to something new at this time either.

Unfortunately, I was not a part of the company when it was originally set up. I have no idea how the implementation went. I wouldn't be able to comment on if it was easy or difficult and/or how long it took to deploy.

While, of course, in general, we always want the pricing to be lower, it's pretty reasonable. The costs aren't too bad.

We are just a JIRA customer and an end-user.

We are using the latest version of the solution. I'm not exactly sure of the version number.

We do not plan to switch to another solution. We're quite happy with this product overall.

I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten.
