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 most valuable features are the ability to customize the entries and to update them quickly. Since the new version they released, we started utilizing the customization features to create specific codes and symbols for our teams that were not available before. For example, in team A each person had their own symbols and we had our own demarcation. When our project or task was completed, we had a code that we could enter online that let the main project managers know that it was time to remove it."
"The technical support team responds quickly and resolves issues effectively."
"The product has good visualization capabilities and helps to see the different dimensions of a plan."
"Align enables the capture of all capabilities and that's its best feature."
"Jira is great for small and enterprise organizations and I highly recommend it for startups."
"The most valuable features of Jira Align are its product roadmap and reporting."
"I like the way the UI functions."
"Jira Align helps us manage communication and tasks for a variety of teams without overlap."
"The solution is flexible."
 

Cons

"There is no linkage between the Jira records and the overarching schedule. We maintain the overarching schedule in Microsoft Project, and there is no linkage back and forth with the Jira tasks."
"Jira Align should reduce the many information fields we need to provide while closing defects."
"Maybe some of the terms and the connectivity could be improved."
"The framework could be better."
"The vendor should implement automation features"
"I would like to see Jira Align merge and integrate better with Jira as a whole. A lot of the time, the data from Jira won't map very well into Jira Align."
"There are fewer customization options in Jira Align due to how it was designed."
"One area for improvement is that Jira Align's double menu and multiple menus can be difficult for new users."
"It is hard to keep up with changes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our customers buy licenses. We are not involved in its purchase."
"The pricing and licensing costs are rated lower, around six mainly due to significant increases in licensing costs that were not well-received by users."
"Jira Align's pricing is reasonable."
"At our company, we were concerned about the cost of Jira Align, which is expensive"
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Jira Align a seven out of ten."
"I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing. The price of the solution depends on the number of people using it and the projects you are working on."
"My company pays approximately 399 USD per month for the solution."
"Jira Align has price packages for different purposes."
