Jira is a strong, industry-standard project management and task tracking service that is flexible enough to allow different types of teams (software, legal, IT, etc.) to work on the same platform.

Jira has a strong SaaS-based offering that makes the administration and operation of the product simple and easy. The software has multiple options for viewing tasks (from project-task style to Kanban style) which allows different teams to be flexible and use different formats.

The difficulty of running the hosted version of the software with custom plugins is almost unacceptable for enterprise-grade software. The concept that enterprise project-management software requires dedicated IT assets to service and maintenance increases the overhead of the software to unacceptable levels. If a deployment requires a host, non-SaaS version of the software with custom plugins, reconsider.

I can't say it has been good or bad but apart from its high cost and some complex features, it can handle all kind of issues. It's also good in bug tracking and project management

The good thing with jira is its agility and scrum management. Jira provides solutions that enables team to build framework in whichever project method they wish to use. Agile tools like roadmap and report integration helps team to track projects in various ways

It's a bit challenging to new users because of its numerous advanced features and its cost is very high compared to other softwares

Neutral

The ability to scale and automate is impressive

To setup and implement from scratch required unreasonable amount of time

Jira is superb. Its not a tool, its need of companies as they can not mange the things without it.

Well Jira is always about tickets and assignment to people for me. Its easy for me to break down tasks and then assign to people and get it done on time bases. Also to see the situation of projects

Its a little complex UI but I will say Jira have a lot of features in it so being heavy or complicated is natural.

Overall experience is really impressive, that we can use this one and only application to track the development, deployment, testing every details.

The most I like in Jira is the application tracking, bug tracking and project management. These all features are really impressive and usefull in real life to develop and track an application.

The Jira application has too many identities, so it not that much easy to understand. We need a proper on call training to understand the application.

Not really good. It's too complicated for simple tasks. Not sure how this would fair for complex tasks and really large teams.

Very feature-rich. One can find almost every feature, subtasks, how much of a task is completed, multiple people assigned to a task, etc.

Very complicated. My Technical Product Manager and my team members used to struggle with this software. So much information is flooded to the user that it becomes very very confusing.

I've found that Jira has significantly simplified our project management and collaboration. Its robust task management, seamless integrations, and real-time reporting have improved our efficiency and decision-making. I wholeheartedly recommend Jira to fellow professionals looking to enhance their project workflows.

What stands out to me about using Jira is how it adapts to our specific project demands. It's like having a versatile toolbox that can be customized to fit any project's unique needs. With Jira, we can collaborate seamlessly, stay on top of tasks, and ensure our projects run smoothly.

It can take some time to grasp the potential of the platform and its customization options. It's a bit complicated at first.

Jira offers customizable workflows that adapt to your specific processes and requirements. It supports frameworks such as Scrum and Kanban, allowing you to plan and execute projects using iterative methods.

The feature I like about Jira is the issue tracking system. You can create and track tasks, bugs, and issues. Each issue can be assigned to a team member, allowing teams to have a centralized view of all project tasks and easily monitor the progress and evolution of the project. It's a great management tool.

What I like the least is perhaps the cost, which can be a bit high, especially for small teams or businesses with a limited budget.

It remains a very good project management software for developers. Very useful for fixing bugs and keeping the history of modifications. The cost is very accessible for small budgets but its interface is difficult to use

The biggest advantage to consider for this software is the price. It is much cheaper compared to its competitors.

It must be recognized that its overly technical interface is not very easy to understand.

Jira is about the most complete project management solution you can get. I liked that regardless of the project type (from software development, to product management, to marketing plan) you can tailor and build tasks, kanban boards, documentation and use workflows in various styles to provide team collaboration.

The sheer amount of features and functions make the administration and configuration very daunting even for experienced IT managers.

I have some larger projects for which Jira is a perfect fit. Once you are set up everything works smoothly. I would recommend this tool for any long-term product development but only if you are willing to put effort into it. It is not a one-click set-and-forget solution but can work wonders for larger projects in the long run. For an average team, I would consider 2 months the break-even point for time spent and time saved.

If you are looking for a management system that is good enough to cover all your needs then Jira and the Atlassian portfolio is exactly what you are looking for. Every aspect of your workflow is infinitely customizable and perfectly integrated with their entire suite of software development tools. Once your setup is complete everything is easy and automatic for your team. The potential for boosted productivity is huge.

All the updates can be overwhelming. Great updates can provide users with additional features without affecting present ones but some updates are breaking and requiring you to find the relocated setting in order to configure what you want. That is adding to the already high cost of setting up a new project. If you have someone dedicated to administration then the rest of the team will have a great experience. This is a very powerful tool and that means it will take time to learn and properly manage it.

JIRA is our source of truth for what is inside, coming out and ready to go next in, in our engineering pipeline is. There isn't a better tool out there even for miles and once you are cosy with JIRA, you can't really make do with another tool.

1) Releases/Versions: Releases allow us to work in parallel on multiple efforts with the same team. 2) Parallel Sprints: Same as releases, we are a lean team and we have to work on Product features and polish/bug fixes simultaneously. 3) Custom Filters: I like these the most!

They have taken out small pieces of functionality and made them separate products. These products are now paid and for those small pieces of functionality, you have to make extra purchases. e.g. Pages

With JIRA, we can easily assign the priority to each task, to have an objective way that allows us to determine in which tasks we should allocate the greatest effort of our workers and which ones can be rescheduled.Another important aspect is precisely the recording of the progress of the activities, since in JIRA we can do it simply by belonging to the team members who have this role, and in this way, not only the project manager is responsible for doing it , but now it is treated as a collaborative and incremental work, lightening the workloads, execution, and the rest of the activities.

JIRA is a project management platform that definitely increases visibility and promotes collaboration, with multidisciplinary and even multicultural work teams. Jira organizes the planning and execution of almost any type of project extremely quickly, from large or large, where multiple tasks are supervised, and with a high degree of complexity, to flexible implementations that require simple and collaborative work.In this way, with JIRA we manage the entire execution cycle and even subsequent phases associated with evolutionary maintenance, roadmap, and support.

Jira is really intuitive, and its functionalities allow the successful execution of large or small projects, however, for the result to be impeccable, we must prepare all the team members and train them properly, and in this way we can expect a process without complications, on the other hand, the licensing may not be as flexible as other usable tools currently on the market but it remains in the average range.

Overall one of the best Free products in industries. Many companies are moving from ALM to JIRA due to cost and effective wider coverage.

1. It’s freeware 2. Easy to customizable 3. Perfect replacement of HP-ALM 4. Easy to MAnage Defects, requirements/User Stories and TestCases

1. We can search test execution based on Date=today , we need to use > or < operators (it’s defect in JIRA) 2. Defects can’t link to multiple EPIC. 3. No direct RTM report 4. Person must know queries to use the JIRA 5. Performance Issue

My JIRA by atlassian experience has been good. It makes our project management great.

1. As a member of a Scrum team, I use JIRA by atlassian everyday and it makes it easy to collaborate. 2. JIRA by atlassian makes team collaboration easy especially when we are working on a common project. 3. One more think I like about JIRA is that it makes tracking my team's work flow easy like ABC 4. JIRA by atlassian is affordable compared to competitors in the same industry.

The customer support is not very responsive. I wish they would improve their customer support services.

If you need to keep tabs on reports about problems with a project or software, Jira is the way to go. Users on a team can quickly and easily share data with one another. Jira is very adaptable, allowing for seamless integration with a wide variety of different platforms. The best thing is that we have connected it with Slack, making communication much easier and saving a ton of time for everyone involved.

Project, issue, bug, task, and workflow management are all handled by Jira software. All phases of a project's development life cycle, from planning to coding to testing, may be managed from within the system.

Problems with the software cause the window to take a long time to load, and real-time updates and app integration are also areas for improvement.

Jira is a powerful tool that provides a wide range of features to help teams collaborate and manage their tasks, issues, and projects effectively, but as it is a complex tool, it may require some time to set up and use. Also, the UI can be cluttered and confusing for some users, and the performance may be slow when working with large projects or many users. The mobile app may lack some features compared to the web version, and the reporting and analytics features can be limited. However, Jira offers many integrations, which can help teams to work more efficiently and effectively.

I've used everything from Excel spreadsheets to MS Access to MS Project and I find that JIRA is the best bang for the buck when managing our SDLC.

We use JIRA online and it's dead simple to create and manage complex tasks. I love the ability to integrate with great packages like Confluence (which is SOOOO much better than Slack!).

Getting new employees up to speed on using the software is more time consuming that it should be. I'd prefer a more intuitive UI.
