Jira Reviews

- 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.

- Jira is used for bug tracking, issue tracking, and project management. - Jira has a powerful API, which means you can easily import or mash up your data with another system if need be – you haven’t locked yourself in! - Jira has been designed with a focus on task achievement, is instantly usable, and is flexible to work with. -you can create individual issue level security schemes, and specify the visibility of comments and work logs.

-At first, the documentation is typically light on needed information, is buggy, or is a little old. In general I found that I needed to do a bit of searching between the Jira documentation, issue tracking system, and the forums in order to get the information I needed, and it still didn't answer all of my questions. For the rest, I took a look at existing plug-ins to see how they had solved the problems. -I have found that Jira's customization can be very confusing in terms of configs and work flows, issue types, custom fields, etc. One should be confident and willing to do a lot of homework when taking on the implementation of anything other than the out-of-the-box functionality.

Jira is a bug and issue tracker primarily intended for software development. We use Jira internally to track all engagements within our team; as well as track bugs and issues for the web apps we develop. Jira is a very customizable product. It has a built in field builder that essentially lets you choose what fields you want to capture for your project. You can configure Jira’s custom fields at a system-wide, project specific and/or issue type level. Jira’s reporting component (or ‘filters’) make it easy to extract the information you want out of the system in several formats. Finally, Jira’s workflow features make it easy to define screens, based on business processes you might have.

Straightforward system that gets the job done. Easy to use and user-friendly.

This may not satisfy complex enterprise requirements that need a customizable platform.

Good investment.

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.

We use it for IT project management. We manage the timelines and resources, mainly people resources.

It is a stable solution, and we have had no issues with stability.

For our company, we're thinking about not only project management solutions but also collaboration solutions, and maybe if Jira had a chart or quick commenting option, it would be great.

I've been working with it for two years. It is a cloud-based solution.

We have had no issues with stability.

We currently have ten users, and it is free for ten users. However, we hope to increase usage.

I would rate Jira at eight on a scale from one to ten.

We use it mainly for logging defects and tracking them.

The UI is good. It's simple and not very complicated.

It's very good for tracking.

The thing I don't like is that it is hard to decide which dropdown options should be selected. When we try and submit it, it will state that there are certain mandates in place. It won't allow us to submit the form unless we fill out all the details.

I don't think Jira has a copy/paste option for emails. I know that you can attach emails, but I don't think there is a copy/paste option.

I've been working with JIRA for the past 10 years.

I would recommend Jira because it helps from a functional point of view and also with tracking defects. It is similar to Quality Center and is good.

I would rate it at seven on a scale from one to ten.

We using this solution to handling all of our development and support tickets.

We have found the structure, functionality, and how Jira handles the tickets most valuable.

The performance could be improved in the future.

I have been using this solution for approximately four years.

We have had some issues with stability.

The scalability is good for what we are using it for. We have approximately 20 people using the solution in my organization and we plan to increase usage.

The technical support could be more responsive.

We have one technician handling the deployment of Jira in my organization.

There is a monthly license required for this solution and it is expensive.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Jira an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case for JIRA is for project tracking to see where our development team productivity is.

This product has been very helpful for me in terms of creating tasks and tracking my development team's productivity. 

I think support could be improved, in particular it would be helpful having a login for the support team.

I've been using this solution for six years. 

This solution is very stable.

This solution is scalable. 

It was easy to deploy this locally, I'm not sure if it would be the same at enterprise level. We have nearly 300 users in the company. 

I've tried some other solutions including Plenty, ClickUp and Azure. I feel that Jira is far better than these other solutions. 

I would recommend this product for people who have agility.

I rate this solution an eight out of 10.
