Featured Reviews

Neeraj Chaudhari - PeerSpot reviewer
Aligns with agile frameworks for streamlined project management
User experience should be more intuitive. Currently, it's not that intuitive. Additionally, a lot of querying and customization is needed for reporting. If there could be some templates out of the box, it would be helpful. Making the report creation process faster and easier with drag-and-drop features would be beneficial.
ManeshGeorge - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient project planning with advanced impact and delay analysis features
You need to have a good understanding of project management before you build programs using P6. Learning the tool takes time, so you should spend hands-on time with it while developing your project management skills. It's a mix of hands-on work and project management skills. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Pros

"JIRA has helped us reduce the rate of unseen or undetectable issues in the future. It has also helped us understand the demand overload across the defense team, including capacity and availability, and how we can leverage different teams to ensure overall success."

"The solution is very powerful and the underlying structure of it is well done. The company behind the solution is very open as far as their whole ecosystem is concerned. They also do a lot of work in the training area."
"There is significant return on investment as the benefits are numerous; the tool provides tracking for projects and activities, with detailed insights into which team members worked on activities and the time invested in each task."
"The solution has good reporting and is very user-friendly."
"The workflows are the most valuable feature of the solution, whether for tasks, bugs, or chain requests from the site. I also like the solution's GUI, which is easy to navigate for everyone."
"The developers can simplify tasks and each one of them can undertake a task and then they continue with development. Our processes are more efficient and easier for our manager and developers to track them. Their work is more organized."

Cons

"JIRA Portfolio's configuration management could be improved."

"When I want to embed Jira Portfolio in a complete HLI cycle, I'm missing things to evaluate my ethic into my value stream."

"Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features."
