Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It gave us control over all test artifacts in one place, along with easy traceability, mapping between stories, bugs, test cases, and test cycles."
"Jira's most valuable features are ease of use, simple to understand, and highly flexible. Additionally, you can use kanban or scrum which is a benefit."
"The dashboards are useful."
"The monitoring, flexibility and tracking are really good in Jira."
"Jira is very user friendly, easy to install, and easy to access."
"The most valuable feature of Jira is the integration with all the different Atlassian tools. They all integrate very easily."
"It's very simple to change the workflow and adapt it. Jira is very user friendly for the agent and the user."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its ease of use. I don't need to train anyone to use it, I just give them access and they can use it to add comments, move their issues, change the status, monitor, read, and so on."
"The setup was very easy. Deployment was very fast for us. We started using it within two weeks."
"Teamwork has made process management easier and much better. It is very robust and improves by making a lot of changes. It is easy to use and has lots of reports."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Teamwork is easy."
 

Cons

"I don't know whether there is a Jira problem or a test risk problem, however, sometimes, we face issues on fetching the reports."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of integration with SVN, and auto-sync with the build release number."
"I struggle with Epics, how they are implemented in JIRA, because they don't work like any other Story, I see a list of Epics, but although I can order them, there are some mismatches with how the Epics are used compared to what Scrum expects, or what Story mapping expects an Epic to be."
"Lacks some common building block approaches to certain things."
"The automation feature needs to be more user-friendly."
"It is a bit harder for management or the business partners. I used to search the Atlassian Community online for some troubleshooting issues and I think there were some issues that seemed to not be a big problem for other similar applications, like Microsoft Teams, that were not considered by Jira."
"Jira can improve by making user management better. It is not easy to have visibility of who has the right to do what. Only the administrator has this visibility but there should be the option for other users too."
"It should be connected to ServiceNow."
"The product could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."
"The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution."
"The product is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It depends on the type of license. In terms of subscription, it is cheap, and it works pretty well."
"We are a regional research and education institute. We're using the free license provided for educational institutes."
"The price seems reasonable to me. It's very similar to Splunk."
"I think the starter pack of three users, up to five users, is free. So you can try it out."
"We had a perpetual license but have changed to a subscription."
"The price of Jira could be lower."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten. It's paid yearly."
"There is a monthly license required for this solution and it is expensive."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"We negotiate on pricing since we are a long-term user."
