Tricky to configure but lots of features

Likeliness to Recommend

7 /10

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

Jira can be heavily customized and tailored to suit the business needs. It also has a direct plugin to the other Atlassian products such as Confluence and Bit Bucket making it work via its own ecosystem of tools.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The JQL query language is fantastic and helps to build custom dashboards and queries. Very easy to show tickets and tasks in the exact way you want to.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It is very confusing at first and configuring a project can be pretty tricky. You need to be very well organised prior to setting up your project otherwise you won't be able to query it or display it properly.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Use Jira in conjunction with the other Atlassian tools and you will have a great set up. Plan out everything in advance to ensure you know what you are trying to achieve prior to implementation.

Pros

  • Unique Features
  • Security Protects
  • Helps Innovate
  • Reliable

Effective software for project management.

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

We mostly use Jira for sprint delivery; we plan our sprint and put up the tasks that we will pick in the sprint, and then we determine the task in Jira, and we can see which individual is working on which job, which really improves sprint delivery time. It is more beneficial in business forms as the organization can track the entire purpose and work of employees by using some form of SQL queries and is easy to understand. We frequently use it to assign internal reports, escalate issues to the appropriate person or team, and stay much more organized than an old spreadsheet.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It has boards that help a lot while providing maximum performance in the shortest amount of time, where people can see the progress of the sprint and take the next job and see what's left, and one of my favorite features is that if you write the problem somewhere in the environment, it will turn it into a link that will redirect you to the problem. Jira is a sophisticated project management tool that is presently used by the majority of firms. Using Jira, we can track what features are currently being implemented in the company. Also, the project leader or manager assigns the work to the developer, and the developer may track that.

What do you dislike most about this product?

My only concern with Jira is that it is difficult to make automations and integrate Jira with other tools. One thing is that it may be simpler to use when there are more tickets, but it may be difficult to search up the problem and identify the task number and you can't more easily recognize.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Anyone working on projects should give it a shot at least once; it is presently the greatest software in its category; there are no other options to manage projects and track faults as well as Jira. Jira is more beneficial for the business and its workers to keep track of the tasks assigned by management, and it is simple to assign and remark on whatever they have for the problem in the tasks and many methods.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
