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.

I am generally managing development teams in a position of delivery lead. I have also been involved in several positions where I acted as a Jira administrator, setting up delivery processes and production support.

I appreciate the openness of Jira. It is based on a concept that is well understandable and works in a logical way, allowing customization of any process that needs to be applied. Jira dashboards and support for JQL queries allow navigation through any data that customers have put in. It has open standards for integrating Jira into other tools.

The only issue I see is the licensing model of Atlassian for Jira. Many customers face issues with this model, often resulting in solving the issues in a nonstandard way, which may double the cost of the product. This can block many customers from utilizing Jira Service Desk, as it doubles the cost compared to the regular software management Jira.

I have been working with Jira for twelve years.

It is not a problem at all. The solution is very stable.

Jira has a good community around the software. They have a good forum where you can find most of the issues that others have already experienced. However, there are specific cases where you need to contact Atlassian support directly, and the responses are not that great.

Positive

The price is average, and it's definitely worth being paid because it is an industry standard in software delivery these days. However, there are specific use cases where the price isn't acceptable for clients.

I rate the overall solution ten. I am hesitant to use anything else for project management. There is some AI integration available on the cloud instance of Jira, which helps compiling JQL queries, particularly useful for business people who do not know the syntax.
