A fairly robust ticketing system

Likeliness to Recommend

7 /10

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

Jira Software is considered perfect when it comes to handling a software team that might need advanced agile functionality as well as structured workflow.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Offers a variety of ways to create dashboards to view projects, boards, tickets, etc based on any number of personal preferences. Can easily receive notifications regarding a project's progress when the ticket is updated by being a watcher on the ticket

What do you dislike most about this product?

To create projects with multiple steps, the use of Epics can become clunky, and integrating dependencies into the process is not easily done

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I think it's great for tracking bugs, support tickets, and other clearly-defined tasks, especially when the time to complete is short or also very defined. It tends to be less useful as a project management tool or for planning, especially for longer-term projects with multiple tasks and a large number of collaborators.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Caring
