What users like the most

  • Jira's flexibility to adapt to various workflows and configurations allows us to tailor the software to our specific needs. We have found that Jira easily integrates with other tools, such as GitHub and Slack, enhancing the overall project management experience. Jira offers comprehensive reporting and analytics options, enabling our teams to keep track of key performance indicators and identifying areas for improvement.

What users like the least

  • Jira's high customizability may make it initially confusing for new users, and it might take some time to become familiar with the interface. For smaller teams or businesses with limited budgets, Jira can be on the higher end of the price spectrum, especially when accounting for add-ons and premium features.

Our company PurpeFire utilizes Jira for bug tracking and project management. We have been using this software for approximately five years, and it has become an essential tool in our daily operations. The frequency of usage depends on the project's current phase. During development, we rely on Jira daily to manage and prioritize tasks, while during less intensive periods, we might use it weekly or monthly as needed.

We Biking Know How use Jira. I use Jira to build practical project prototypes. Jira has fantastic features that allow my team to communicate my plans and broadcast and share project roadmaps with my team's everyday tasks. I love working in the agile format. Jira allows me to make a single cohesive view of all user stories. Jira will enable me to generate critical reports for all the sprint tasks. Jira very seamlessly blends with almost all major third-party software. I use Slack for team communication, and I can use Jira with Slack very easily.

As a software development company, we The App Solutions have been using JIRA since 2019 daily. It's a primary project management software and knowledge base management for all our project tasks and internal team management. JIRA is suitable for all departments, be it developers, project managers, or marketers, thus providing a single view of a company's progress. As a team leader, project reports keep me updated on our projects' progress and overall status. Roadmaps functionality helps me keep stakeholders updated on the project and shows each team member's contribution to the client. JIRA helps teams with time tracking and provides the burndown chart feature to predict the likelihood of completing their work in the given period.

We TestimonialHero use JIRA for project management. It's a great tool that helps us to keep track of our progress and assign tasks to team members. JIRA is very user-friendly and customizable. It can be expensive, and there is a learning curve to using it effectively. We started using JIRA about 2 years ago. We use JIRA every day to track our progress and assign tasks to team members.

We Fulcrum Rocks have been using Jira for the last three years. During this time, Jira helped us manage the projects, assess their status & progress, track how it's going, and keep all the teammates involved. Jira is built for agile and scrum management, making it an excellent choice for software development. It allows project managers to see the whole picture of the project, understand what tasks are in work, who is responsible, and what is done/not done yet. Every team member can update the status of their task on a dashboard so that PM can see the real state of affairs. Another point is its integration with other tools. Jira is integrated with numerous services and apps like, for example, time tracking services which we use at Fulcrum. It also has great reporting with lots of crucial metrics analyzed. For instance, a velocity report analyzes the speed with which the team performs the tasks during the sprints and how successfully they do it.

We UKBadCreditLoans use a project management software called Jira from Atlassian. The tool is affordable and perfect for small to medium-sized businesses. The interface is very user-friendly and with the help of plugins, you can customize the software to fit your company's needs. It is simple to use, easy to learn, a great value, and probably the best project management tool available. We have been using Jira Project Management software since we started the company. We needed a way to keep track of our projects and tasks, as well as keep all our team members in the loop with what was happening in the office. We noticed other companies were using Jira, so it seemed like a logical option. In the past three years, we've upgraded to the latest version, and we have to say, we've never been happier! The new features are very exciting, and we can't wait to see what's next for the company.

We at Integra Sources mostly use Jira. As a hardware and software development company, we’re interested in using the most effective project planning software that can be used for various projects within our company. It can be a bit difficult to set up, but it integrates well with other tools and helps connect all the members of the team

JIRA is the Project Planning Software we use at our company. I'm glad that JIRA includes Kanban since I'm a huge fan of that project management method. Also, my team values excellent user experience design - all features necessary are at your fingertips to use them intuitively. In large workgroups where you need to spend time training every new member, this is vital. However, another JIRA advantage, its real-time reporting method, is also a weak point. The use of the same tool synchronously by too many people causes bugs, which can be pretty annoying.

Our use case is internal CRM so our customer support department of ~900 users can see the progress of any employee anywhere in the firm in the clear without delay. Fast interface means ease of use which makes users want to file even the seemingly smallest idea so we have better feedback and nothing is lost. Significant integration (sso, Git webhook, etc.) means we've confidence JIRA will adapt to even future systems. Prospective employees often use it & thus no delay in their using the ticketing system with confidence. We considered Trac and Bugzilla but both are very old, no new features, barely any integrations, require custom hosting, etc. Trac is as basic as the subversion with which it's often associated in feature set, requires signifiant time and patience to set up much less customize/configure, and is being abandoned by most industry folks. Bugzilla is a classic solution which holds up, but has an interface which causes non-developer users to not want to use it. Interface counts for first impressions and confidence which are big, especially for non-tech departments of which most of ours are. Tech and customer support are fair for a service of this size with consistently earnest responses over the whole nearly 10y of our use of Jira, an impressive streak of non-variance. Our requests are namely reporting frontend bugs and quirks which are often resolved over time, usually a feature is deployed within a year of our suggesting, likely not as a direct result thereof but shows investment in the product, and bugs are sooner, within weeks which is fair given the immense global user base. We're pleased with the essentially included-in-price support. We use Jira closely with Bitbucket and Confluence, its siblings in the Atlassian world. Our primary project finds multiple issues daily due to the project's complexity in all senses: business-wise, politically, technically, developer resource constraints, time constraints, and limited intake managers. That said, we must be very efficient and judicious about how we file all the reported errors, new features, critical bugs, re-categorizing in between, etc. JIRA's great interface allows us to search and tag and make fast large-scale edits to this torrent of tasks to bring it into order. The public visibility and linking tasks also helps organizing such a large volume of tickets with so few people. Without JIRA, either people wouldn't be able to submit requests at all to a sane system or the interface would be so dissuading as to cause them to not speak up. JIRA is the tool to tame a beyond-human scale of requests. All in all JIRA's superb for a solid decade plus.
