Featured Reviews

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

"The solution is simple to use."
"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."
"The status update function is the most valuable feature."
"The product's integration capabilities work pretty well, especially considering that more tools are always needed in enterprise-sized businesses."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Jira is the standard across the globe; this is the market leader for maintaining or managing software development, and it has cost advantages over other available tools."
"Having an option to view dependencies between projects and teams is great."
"Portfolio helps us increase the visibility of projects' status and management with remote workers who make up most of the company."
"The reporting part is very good."
 

Cons

"The HR aspect of the solution could be improved."
"I think the solution can improve in graphs and the analysis part."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"The tool is very open, which leads to a lot of error, confusion, and end problems."
"Jira has room for improvement in terms of managing various projects and linking requirements centrally under one project. They could include some add-ons that enable you to link all the requirements and put them into a centralized place. That central place should be restricted to a limited set of users with privileges based on user groups with those rights."
"Their interface is a little unique and I think that's partly because the core of the product has morphed into several sub-products, but the underlying architecture has stayed the same on all of them in that it was originally a help desk ticketing system. It's a very tech-focused product and that's fair given its origins, but if they really want to expand their community of users, then they're going to have to move beyond that a little bit and polish it up."
"There is room for improvement in terms of scalability."
"When I want to embed Jira Portfolio in a complete HLI cycle, I'm missing things to evaluate my ethic into my value stream."
"Some of the reports could be automated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing continues to get higher."
"Given the solution’s significant functionality, benefits, and value, you get more than you pay for."
"Portfolio is well-priced - a license for ten users costs $100 or $150 a month."
"We only have nine people using it so we have a standard cost of $150 dollar per year. There are only additional costs if you exceed the limit of users, then you start paying by user. The cost is significantly higher."
"When we first got the tool, it cost 3,000 euros a year for unlimited users, which was a great deal. But the prices kept going up over the years. I'm not involved with pricing anymore, but I heard they increased a lot, so we decided to stop using it."
"The pricing of the solution is expensive."
"Portfolio is very expensive, costing on average $2000-3000 per user per month."
"I rate JIRA Portfolio a five out of ten for its pricing."
