Great features but does require personalization

10 /10

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

JIRA syncs well with all Atlassian products. At our organization we heavily utilize Confluence for process documentation and JIRA for ticket management across various departments.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

JIRA simplifies day-to-day task management by making it easy to assign a task to a specific person or a team. Internal collaboration improves drastically because of JIRA and helps with record-keeping for compliance and underwriting purposes which is an essential feature in the banking industry.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There should be an option for end users to manage the notifications on their email. This control is only provided to the IT / Admin for JIRA and they are unable to set this according to each individual's preference.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Ensure you set it up correctly across all departments. JIRA is tremendous value for money but only if it is utilized efficiently across all cross-functional teams.
