Long-term agile tracking has supported development but reporting has required workarounds
I know Jira as Jira; I have used the cloud and I have used on-premise. It is an issue tracker. My experience has been positive, as it is an okay tool, but I like Azure DevOps better. I assess the dependency management feature as okay, but again, Azure DevOps is better; it is more customizable. I find the scenario planning features are okay, but if you have a good Scrum Master or Agile coach, you can get a lot better insights just by looking at the data. We export most of what is in Jira to Power BI so we can run better reports.

IT Automation Architect at a hospitality company with 10,001+ employees
A highly stable and flexible solution that provides modules that are far superior to any other tools in the market
It's hard to learn the best practices. It is hard to keep up with changes. There's a lot of great improvements. We don't always know about them. There have been a lot of changes in the suggested uses of the product over the last five years. There are some things that we don't even know about. It would be nice to have an idea of the vision of the use of the product compared to how we're using it. For example, the solution is so customizable that we can create a form and drop half the fields. However, someone else might think the dropped fields are important for AI. I won't be using it because I don't know. So, my results will end up being substandard because of it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product has good visualization capabilities and helps to see the different dimensions of a plan."
"The reporting structure is great."
"The most valuable feature is that engineers can access the Jira database and just search for the tasks that are assigned to them, and they can then update the status on their own in those records that are assigned to them."
"I've had no issues with Align's stability."
"Jira Align helps us manage communication and tasks for a variety of teams without overlap."
"Some of the most valuable features are the configurations and dashboards."
"The most valuable feature of Jira Align is the overall team vision."
"The product's most valuable feature is CMDB for services desk management and backlog projects."
"The solution is flexible."
 

Cons

"The workflows are scalable from portfolio to individual level but can sometimes be complex to navigate."
"One area where Jira Align could improve is in its licensing model. There was a significant change in the licensing module about six months ago, which resulted in increased costs for customers like us. This change wasn't communicated clearly, and it made it challenging for companies to adopt Jira Align without facing higher expenses. In terms of features, I would like to see improved workflows in the next release, as that would greatly benefit our organization."
"The tool's corporate pricing is expensive."
"One aspect that could be improved is that a ticket is declared as completed only when it is in the last column of the Jira board, regardless of the state it's in so that completed tickets don't get picked up because it goes by column rather than status."
"Jira Align has price packages for different purposes. Users must do their own research and see if it fits their purpose."
"The product needs to improve its configurations."
"Jira Align fails to provide its users with a complete package in terms of portfolio management."
"In my company, we found the solution to have many issues regarding its ability to handle claims and other processes since the solution is not available on a single window."
"It is hard to keep up with changes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Jira Align is quite expensive for small-to-medium companies, but it's quite reasonable for larger ones."
"The software is very good, but the price is expensive. Our licensing costs are on a monthly basis, but there are no additional costs to the standard license fees."
"Jira Align's pricing is reasonable."
"At our company, we were concerned about the cost of Jira Align, which is expensive"
"The tool is moderately expensive."
"Jira Align has price packages for different purposes."
"Jira Align is an expensive solution."
"My company pays approximately 399 USD per month for the solution."
