Jira Reviews

The timeline management is great and the dashboard allows me to see the performance of everyone working for the company.

The filtration could be better.

I have been using Jira for six months.

Stability-wise, it's not the best, but it's stable.

Jira is very easy to expand upon and customize.

The initial setup was very easy. It's a very user-friendly solution but sadly, deployment for Jira is not the best.

I would highly recommend Jira to other interested companies.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Jira a rating of eight.

We use Jira strategic management and overall best practices management.

Jira is easy to use and there are a lot of tools that are integrated with it.

The solution can improve by including test management functionality in a native bundle without plugins.

I have been using Jira for several years.

I have found Jira to be stable.

Jira is scalable.

We have approximately 50 users using this solution in my organization.

I have not used technical support.

The initial setup is simple.

We had our internal IT team that did the implementation and we do not require maintenance.

We are on an annual license to use Jira.

I evaluated other options. I choose Jira to work with because it is a popular solution and many of our customers use it.

I rate Jira an eight out of ten.

Public Cloud

Large user base. Great for tracking defects but that's not really all it can do. It is used for tracking "issues" in general. Issues can include Defects, Change Requests, Requirements, User Stories (Agile), Sprint Planning (Agile), Progress Tracking, etc. The pricing is also excellent and they offer flexible subscription plans. Great technical support being a commercial product. Quite stable as hardly seen any downtime in the few years I've used it in different companies.

The workflow and layout can be confusing and takes a while to get used to.

We used JIRA for:

• Writing down requirements and stories.
• Analysis
• Creating tasks, subtasks, and defects.

It also helped tracking the sprint process more efficiently.

It gave us control over all test artifacts in one place, along with easy traceability, mapping between stories, bugs, test cases, and test cycles.

The traceability mapping feature is something that became very useful, especially during releases and bug fixes.

The creation of epics and stories/defects is also very useful and simple.

It should have its own repository for test case creation, so that one does not have to resort to third-party tools and plugins.

One to three years.

JIRA is the project management system in my company. We use it on a daily basis. It is the main instrument widely used by QAs, Product Developers, Technical Writers, and Project Managers

All issues are stored in one place. JIRA stores history of changes, which helps a lot to track who, when, and why the issue was modified. Also, JIRA is very customizable, for example, you can add unique fields or remove the existing ones. Reports, analytics, and a ton of widgets, they are great and intuitive. Perfect for an agile team.

1. History of changes/activities
2. Customizable path of changing statuses of issues
3. Ability to limit access rights
4. Integration with other tools

As a Technical Writer, I would love to have more features to make nice documents, like Release Notes or a feature overview, right from JIRA.

Three to five years.

Jira is one of best applications used for bug tracking, issue tracking and project management work. It has very good API integration features and supports a large number of plugins like for supporting Crucible, SVN, CVS, Bamboo build integration etc. It can be very easily integrated with other tools provided by the Atlassian. It has a great feature for showing up updates on comments through email notifications. It also supports configuring basic visibility levels for different sections.

Jira is not a highly customizable platform, all you can do is use various plugins and widget to fulfill your needs and if you need more than that, then you might have to look for other project management tools. It is also known to occasionally run out of memory. Customizing the Jira settings and configurations is a bit difficult and complex for first time users. Jira is primarily suitable for small to medium organizations only.

Jira is one of the best bug tracking, issue tracking and project management tools available in the market. It can be easily integrated with various 3rd party plugins related to project management, source code control systems, code review systems etc. Jira user interface is not very good, but is pretty decent. It is primarily suitable for small and medium organizations

- A very good project management platform which can be used for issue tracking, as well as bug tracking. - Can be very easily run on in house servers as a hosted solution. - Can be very easily integrated with various source control platforms like CVS, Git, Mercurial, Subversion etc. - Due to its plugin architecture, it can be very easily integrated with various software IDE's, like Eclipse. - Has support for integrating with various cloud based tools provided by Atlassian.

- The inbuilt search functionality is quite buggy and lacks even the basic features. - You'll end up struggling when searching for a particular JIRA item, if you don't have the JIRA number. - There's no regexp support, and you can't do arbitrary AND/OR/NOT queries. The search feature needs a revamp. - The product lacks stability, as it occasionally runs out of memory. - The user interface is far from perfect.

Having used JIRA for the last 2 years, I can definitely say that having this tool with you is a big plus when it comes to project management. Plugin architecture and support for the popular version controls systems like SVN, CVS, etc., which makes it even better. Although, there is still room for improvement in areas like user interface and the search functionality which doesn't support arbitrary AND/NOT/OR queries.
