Neeraj Chaudhari - PeerSpot reviewer
Delivery Leader : Digital Productivity Studio at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
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.
Venu Vashistha - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Good reporting, quick configurations, and helpful support
It's a cloud-based setup, so there's no challenge in getting everything up and running. The downtime should be minimal. I'd rate the process nine out of ten in terms of ease of deployment. There is a three-month implementation exercise that we control. We have five people who were part of the implementation and maintenance process. They are admins and web developers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like about the product is its extensive features, particularly the wide set of attributes for tracking issues. Jira Portfolio allows us to track not only the overall project but also specific components within it. This is beneficial for all stakeholders, including developers and business owners. For example, business stakeholders can track all issues, regardless of status."
"Its stability is very reliable."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature. The user experience is very good, it's easy to use."
"The workflow and bucket features are most helpful."
"Portfolio helps us increase the visibility of projects' status and management with remote workers who make up most of the company."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The customized workflows we can define are very valuable. JIRA's private projects is very useful as well. There are also a lot of plugins that they provide."
"The reporting part is very good."
 

Cons

"The data query language needs improvement."
"In the next version, I would like to see better reporting and safer plugins, as well as easier scalability."
"The HR aspect of the solution could be improved."
"We are based in India; I would like the product to integrate local pricing. We earn in rupees but spend in dollars. Its pricing could also be lowered."
"Our major team does not control or manage JIRA server well since sometimes there is trouble using the solution, which is a problem. The solution's speed needs to be improved."
"The kanban board could also use some more filters. We just had a project where the deployment for Jira didn't have any ETA, and it's a requirement for the client. We accommodate a lot of issues on the board, so the workaround was to create boards by project, not client."
"The tool needs to improve its speed and response time."
"User experience should be more intuitive. Currently, it's not that intuitive."
"Some of the reports could be automated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a six."
"I do not believe that the product provides value for money since I feel that it is quite expensive."
"We pay our fees annually, although monthly payments are also available."
"The pricing of the solution is expensive."
"I rate JIRA Portfolio a five out of ten for its pricing."
"We have a license to use JIRA Portfolio, we are not using the free version."
"The solution is offered at a high cost"
"This solution has a comparable pricing in comparison to other similar products on the market."
