What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

This software has great interface to use even the mobile app is also easy to use. The third part integration is very effective to use slack for conversation. It simply tracks our project tasks and manage them according to deadlines. The ability of tracking each task with coworkers is amazing.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

We had been facing problem in maintaining tasks and assigning it to team members. This implementation of Jira in our project management department solved these problems easily and now all the tasks can be assigned to every team member easily and track their performances based on deadlines.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Sometimes it takes a lot time in loading, for some of its tools which are built in are needed to buy license to use them. Navigation is sometimes feeling like headache. The locking task option sometime makes problem for other to unlock it because it cannot be done and time wasting.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Now you don't need to worry about projects progress all can be tracked by this software and team collaboration made easy after this implementation. A good platform for all project managers.

It is very flexible. It is easy to use and easy to learn and can be set up on mobile, desktop or any other environment. Interface is fast and is a treat to use without any hassle with copy-pasting images, formatting stories and attachments as required. Its webbook with git enables the user to monitor all the commits provided with commit tags. It is a best choice for agile methodology. It provides easy commenting and tagging in a conversation. Its application is also customize able which can make it as simple as possible. It keeps record of the documents and enables the user to create tasks, sub tasks, epics and spikes.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It is used for team planning. It is highly flexible and can be configured for usage with wide variety of environment. The administration’s graphical user interface GUI can easily change Jira workflows, screens enable and issue types which maybe be suitable for any scenario.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Its user interface is confusing, and user may take time to get hand on it. It lacks with reports and charting facility. It has so many less mandatory fields in the GUI which is sometimes so overwhelming that the user gets lost.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Jira is a great platform for project management. It keeps record of the documents and enables the user to create tasks, sub tasks, epics and spikes. I would recommend this amazing software to everyone.

Streamlines project cycles

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

Jira offers a high level of customization from the workflows all the way to the dashboards. It scales with your business and also offers robust security. It supports mobiles phones allowing work to be done remotely. The features and functions it offers support collaboration and communication across team members. It provides Scrum and Kanban methodologies that help in the management of complex projects. Also, the Jira search function is second to none it filters categories,status, and team members. In addition to this is the pricing that Jira offers that is cheaper compared to other tools we had considered.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Jira has proved to us to be the best project management tool that is easy to use. With Kanban and Scrum boards, it becomes easy to plan for big projects. Also with the to-do list, it is even much easier to keep track of each progress of team members. It has increased project visibility where team members can post, update and communicate with their team leaders via Scrum and Kanban boards. It is amazing how it integrates with a large number of applications which makes it an exceptional project management tool in the market. The workflow is highly customizable to enable personalization of workflows and ensuring no information is left out.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The reports cannot be reused and also the interface looks clunky.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are looking for a project management tool that is easy to use and streamlines project cycles then Jira is the right tool for your case. It provides the best collaborative environment and offers a large number of integrations. It is very difficult to find a tool that can match up to Jira in terms of features and functionalities. I highly recommend it.

  • Helps Innovate
