It's intuitive and easy to use while being very robust and comprehensive. Perfect for distributing work across teams and keeping track of progress and issues.

Some of the benefits that I found useful are listed below. It helps in tracking a number of tasks whether it is a new feature, an issue or bug or anything that requires some kind of tracking.

It's like an extra powerful ship, abundant in functions and features, that would bring you anywhere you like. For complex projects, it's probably a hidden weapon that decides about the win.

Great task-management software at an affordable price - JIRA is a great solution for a small business.

Jira has been good tool to help us organize and execute our team's work. I'd hope to find more flexibility in views and the like in JIRA, but as it's focus is on software teams I understand.

There are nice features that integrate across the ecosystem, like opsgenie, also the charts seem useful,  having multiple metrics about the project progress.

Some of the breakdowns of what issue the problems fall under aren't specific enough, and there are character limits for some of the requests when they should be able to leave more detail.

Customer service is outstanding. Great for companies to use as a ticketing system for logging issues, creating tasks and projects etc.

Overall experience is very nice with jira because of it's inclusive price & good features.

I really like the ease of use. It s very versatile and i like the customer support.

I love the integration with bitbucket because I can relate commits, pull requests and branches to an amount os cards on Jira, what is great for maintenability as well as for management.

We've had developers tell us that they hate JIRA because everything is just too confusing.

It's an amazing tool for working together across departments specially in big organizations. It's great with tickets - tasks or bugs.

Its configuration is a little confusing. As for use, in the beginning user is somewhat lost due to many fields and features of the tool.

Overall, the product is great to use. If your company invests in it then as a user, you should can count yourself lucky.

In addition, it is a great motivational tool and teaches us to discipline. It gives great insight into the status of ongoing projects and helps in their accessible presentation.

I like having the ability to “tag” other colleagues until tickets and messages. I also like the integration ability with some of our other tools.

I love that you can make recommendations and they listen to you and implement the changes which are great.

I like it is easy to use and even the price is not high for what it offers. I have been using these over the last years every day at my work and is perfect.

Great teamwork/collaboration tool with a great overview of the project and its progress, I would highly recommend this product for any software implementation.

Nice and friendly interface in the latest versions. Great power when it comes to managing permits and creating workflows.

The overall experience is good, it can be better on certain costumization fields and profile managment.

The lone thing I hate is that it is somewhat costly with regards to additional items.

I like most the versatility and the ease of use. It is designed in an intuitive way and the user experience has been great.

I feel like there is a ton of customization and all the appropriate fields are there. I love the burn down to see if we are on track with our sprint and I also love the kanban board.

I liked most in JIRA is ease of use and helpful. It helps us in tracking project and its tasks so that we can get more clarity on project outcome and its implementations.

Jira was great for what I needed it for; bug reporting. However, as someone who it took a while to learn, I am happy that is all I had to do.

We needed a help desk system that is reliable and performed the functions we wanted. It fit the bill perfectly at a cost that didn't break our bank.

Jira works great and allows to access and change boards very easily. It is a great way to communicate with the team due to the great features.

It’s a great program that helps organizations stay on top of project completions or important customer interactions.

Helps categorize, filter, share issues with great ease. There are so many good features that I love, it's hard to list over a review.

The problem is that with the passage of time I have been getting more things that I dislike and the initials do not stop bothering me, they could even bother me more at a certain point.

Also the issue tracking system is awesome. I used other service desk solutions in the past but Jira is best among them.

It's great to have a single place where we can document epics/features/stories/tasks. It's a great integration with third-party tools like Git.

Excellent customer service and support. Very important with this type of software.

The fact that it is iOS based can be something good and bad at the same time.

Accurate data on downtime causes & costs. Coaching in process improvement events.

Sometimes the RZ updates come out with bugs and make it difficult until they roll out the fixes. Possibly too many updates and new features.

It was very easy to install and require significantly less investment than other systems we considered.

The last is the improved communication across the plants, the chat functionality was a surprise that has been critical to the improvement.

Redzone was a key catalyst in helping Marianna Beauty change the culture on our shop floor.

The Tableau Website can be a bit difficult to navigate.

Every area of Redzone has help improve the overall success of operations. One tool that sticks out over anything else is the communication tool.

I like the productivity module's focus on visual real-time feedback.

RedZone was the perfect tool and program to allow use to leave our comfort zone and dare to be much more.

The integration of production data with communications, RCPS, Kaizens, huddles, are the core strengths of this product.

RedZone was super user friendly. Creates involvement from everyone within,  and builds collaborations from supporting department that were lacking prior.

Even with the communication challenges, the software interface was so intuitive that we never realized any issues from language barriers.

Ease of implementation and extremely intuitive/user friendly.

The best thing about Redzone is the transparency and visibility of all the things that are happening on the production area.

Not too many key strokes to complete task. An Amazing coach who was willing to work through all the issues we had when rolling out the program.

The experiences have always been positive and the investments have had valuable returns. The part of Redzone I enjoy the most is that they partner with you to ensure you have success.

The easy to use and engaging interface was another key benefit because it was similar to how they communicate in their own personal lives.

The SPC module is difficult to use effectively and the Compliance module's inability to enforce checks to be completed has been a concern.

Ultimately Redzone has allowed us to quickly identify quality or process efficiency issues, then create and test solutions.

It is easy to use and easy to read. We have seen our employees take more ownership over their lines, and employee process improvement ideas have greatly increased.

Improved communication on the floor. Uniquely integrated for quality & maintenance as well as OEE.

The interface is much like many social media platforms they are already use in their personal lives, so the idea of CI was not a scary idea.

Assessing and datamining standard to actuals on changeover times can be difficult.

Broad communication was limited to a preset structure (i.e. leaderboard).

We can use the data mining tool within the IOS, but it is not as easily translated to our standard platform.

The user interface is very intuitive and it's designed with the key foundational elements of continuous improvement.

The ability to see how their teams are contributing to the efficient and effective operation of the facility is very engaging and enjoyable for the team.

We had several occasions to tap into the whole community of RedZone users and we found that this was one of the great strengths.

Being a customer is having a lean partner that continually improves their services. We get better as Redzone learns and gets better.

The software is iOS based and there are no Windows desktop options.

I like the easy to use interface. Our operators have quickly learned how to use the software, making it very effective.

All of our users are familiar with and know how to operate a smart phone or a tablet already. This makes the software intuitive and easy to use and train.
