One of the best things about JIRA is the advance level reporting it allows the users to have. JIRA has the feature of customizable dashboards, which can be used by the organizations and teams to get detailed reports and analysis. Another great thing about JIRA is the ease of using its interaface, owing to the fact of how user friendly it is. Having used multiple other task management applications, I found JIRA to be the easiest.

Mobile Accessibility, is definitely my favorite aspect about JIRA. Especially in a time when most organizations are working in a hybrid or work from home mode, the JIRA mobile app makes life a lot easier for the employees, while ensuing high productivity levels.
