Agile workflows have streamlined sprint planning and tracking for faster feature delivery
Jira has a very good interface and it is very easy to manage sprints, tasks, and epics. The main feature is the hierarchy, as features can be converted into epics and topics, allowing bigger tasks to be partitioned into smaller ones. The hierarchy feature in Jira helps the team significantly compared to other tools that have been used, such as Trello, which is mainly useful only for a waterfall model. For modern Agile practices, Jira is the most adapted tool in the industry. Another valuable feature is that Jira APIs have been used for data science projects to analyze tasks and get insights. This has also been very helpful in the project.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I enjoy working with (and can recommend) Jira for a number of reasons; the best features are that it is friendly and provides good visibility, it's to the point and very effective."
"With Jira, you get what you input, in terms of your data; for me, I get what I need out of it."
"JIRA has been very simple to use, no issues."
"I'm working in the IT department, and the ticketing system is the most important service for us. We are also using some automation add-ons. It a very good product for handling tickets and tasks and managing processes. It is also very useful and easy to use."
"I have found Jira to be scalable."
"This tool can be used anywhere and on any device."
"There are a lot of plugins in Jira and we purchase the ones we need."
"JIRA's technical support is absolutely fantabulous. I had used it in the past when I was working at my previous organization. And when we wanted to link it with a framework, they helped us out with the API we were looking for."
"Real-time collaboration, invoice generation, task delegation, and file management features have become valuable features for our organization."
"It increased productivity and timely delivery of projects within a set budget."
"The primary uses for this tool are task delegation, generating reports, and on-time invoices."
 

Cons

"The support person I contacted was not skilled enough to provide me the answer so it's up in the air."
"It should be connected to ServiceNow."
"it would be helpful to have a better tutorial for learning and to have a better understanding of what the features are and what they do."
"Some of the interfaces, especially on the administrator side and for permissions, are not so clear."
"There's a really steep learning curve for configuration."
"If CI/CD is integrated with it, it would be better. I've used Azure DevOps before, and it's nice to have everything, such as CI/CD Repos and other things, integrated. Jira has fewer integrations. Azure DevOps has an easier interface, and it has got everything in one spot. I don't have to jump around in different applications."
"It would be good if we can grant access based on the roles. This is something that Jira can look into. Currently, anyone with Jira access can access everything. Being able to define access based on the roles will give us more flexibility in managing Jira. I would like to have more reports in Jira. Currently, eight or nine reports are there. You can use Screen Test to get more reports or data from Jira, but you will have to get more add-ons, plug-ins, and stuff like that. It would be good if they can increase the number of reports."
"The user interface could be improved from a user experience standpoint."
"The timely reminders could be reduced from one mail a day to three mails in a week."
"The timely reminders could be reduced from one mail a day to three mails in a week. This tends to fill up our inboxes a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I understand JIRA is quite expensive."
"As a company, we get a subsidized price, and it's lower than what's quoted on their website."
"The price at the moment for Jira is okay. I'm absolutely not amused with the plans to try to drive us to the cloud or to other licensing models. For the very simple reason that we are a company in the defense sector where cloud is problematic in a number of the domains. We are now approximately 60 users and the new policy will actually confront us with an upscale to approximately 500 users. I find it unacceptable, and may potentially lead us to look for another solution."
"The licensing model is annoying. They nickel and dime you."
"Our client handles the licensing aspect. They have not yet purchased the premium version."
"It is subscription-based, and we probably pay yearly. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of price."
"There is a monthly license required for this solution and it is expensive."
"We used to be on a perpetual license provided by our clients."
