It makes tasks management and collaboration very easy. Cons It's difficult to get started with. For new resources, the platform could be a little overwhelming, just the look and feel of it. Review Source Ruban D. Member of Technical Staff 3 Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best software development & tracking tool" June 16, 2022 5.0 Pros The software development of segregated into issues, stories ans tasks. It has really helped to get collaboration from different teams like new feature approval and testing team approval, etc. It has reduced the time that development team spend on email to and back communication.

Layout Artist Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Used in minimal capacity " May 25, 2024 2.0 Pros Task dashboard: moving tasks from waiting to start, for review etc is good. Cons History of logged hours on a task is hidden which I don’t love. Review Source Andrei P. Data Scientist Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best work management tool for programmers." May 23, 2022 5.0 If you are a programmer it has all the necessary features and nothing more, so it doesn't look overwhelming. The debug feature is the best one you will find, and we know that bugs/errors are major setbacks for programming projects. I can assure that Jira is the best work management tool for programmers. Pros Jira's features are focused on programmers/scrum teams. The features are specific for a niche public and as a result it doesn't look overwhelming with unnecessary tools. The bug tracker works perfectly. Cons Jira is very niche so it has not the necessary features for projects related to other areas. Review Source Cagatay D. Senior Finance Specialist Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "All tickets together." January 16, 2023 5.0 It increased the efficiency of my work by 100% and reduced the time loss to zero. Pros You can see all the tickets opened for IT or HR on one page, and you can access them faster. The design you have made is of course important, but the site is very easy to use. You can be instantly notified of a new ticket or a comment made to the ticket by email. Cons I like everything. Its really useful program. Review Source RB Rami B. Software Developer Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jira is a very powerful and popular project managment tool" December 19, 2019 5.0 Jira is the industry standard for issue management. It's popularity helps it to be familiar for new users but still different enough due to customization that each project can have. Pros It's quite easy to get started using Jira for new employees. It's very powerful for advanced users as well with custom queries and ability to customize the ticket's fields, Sprint Board and ticket lifecycle. Cons Ticket vs. Story vs. Sub-ticket - The distinction isn't really clear on when you should really use each of them. It is often confusing for people and leads to mistakes. Your personal experience with Jira would vary heavily based of your project's administrator's decisions to configure the ticket lifecycle, custom fields, JIra board appearance and so on. As a user that is not an administrator you can't tweak or create a personal view of Jira that is convenient for you, so often you rely on your administrator's judgment of what is good for the company/project. Since each Jira project can have different settings, it is often painful to re-assign a ticket between projects as they require different type of fields which sometime you don't have the right context to know what they mean in a big organization. Each custom field should have a hint to explain what it means and provide an example. Each project/component should have a default assignee to triage the ticket if you don't know to whom you should assign it. Review Source VE Victor E. Pre Sales Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Reseña Jira" May 25, 2024 5.0 Excelente la experiencia, ayuda muchisimo en cuanto a tener visibilidad de todos los proyectos, llevarlos en un solo lugar en donde te de un status con una vista en general de cada uno de ellos. Pros La facilidad que tiene para crear los proyectos y la manera en que se puede llevar toda la gestión del mismo desde que nace hasta que finaliza. Cons Se debe ser un usuario un poco avanzado en conocimientos de tecnologia para poder utilizar la herramienta ya que la misma tiene demasiadas opciones por utilizar. Review Source MOHAMED B. Consultant. Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "JIRA a great bug tracker" August 16, 2018 5.0 Pros We use to have the software installed in our company as a change management and collaborative tool, it comes with the great features like the confluence work as a document repository, activity tracked to manage and collaborate work with other team members. Apart from that JIRA has a great way of designing workflows to resolve bugs, way to issue management and triage them. Moreover, it can be integrated with the code repository like Bitbucket to show code changes and comes integrated with Bamboo to show build activity. It works on JQL a powerful query building language using in order to search various activities happening throughout the issue database. It has added feature call Greenhopper which is an addon that makes it possible to follow work to implement on Agile methods, there are several addons that facilitate QA task as well, JIRA market place has hundreds of Addon that you can use for various tasks. Cons Its cost incrementally increases when the number of users increased Review Source FMC Fernando Matías C.

Pros Permite llevar un control integral de todas las tareas qué se deben cumplir en casa uno de nuestros desarrollos. Cons La curva de aprendizaje es muy alta, requiere de un gran tiempo de estudio de la herramienta. Alternatives considered [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Reason for choosing Jira Tiene muchas más funcionalidades. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Associate Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Features of Jira" October 13, 2022 5.0 It is great working with Jira. Pros Easy to track the details, comments, history, and other functionalities make the process easy. Cons Everything is good,I will recommend there should be a user manual as Jira has a lot of features . Review Source Han-Tsung L. Member Of Technical Staff Defense & Space Used the software for: 2+ years ### "JIRA for professional project management" June 13, 2020 5.0 Even though prior experience to agile practices is essential to understand the different features In JIRA, I appreciate the fact that much thoughts have been put into developing this software and it really does show with sprint planning and syncing with other Atlassian tools such as Confluence and BitBucket Pros This software is built with agile development method in mind with the easy to use drag and drop of task functionality to update the status of each ticket in terms of progress made. Cons Because it is built with agile method in mind, there are a lot of essential terminologies and concepts built into the software that someone unfamiliar with this development method might need a crash course before jumping into creating a new project. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Big learning curve" January 28, 2021 5.0 The learning curve to onboard to this tool is pretty steep. I would recommend hiring an external consultant if this is new to your whole organization. It can be learned through trial and error, make sure to have one or two main "owners" who control the workflows and other areas so it does not get out of control. Pros Great for managing tasks, and creating a customized workflow for what your team needs. Can create complex workflows to fit into various needs. There are several Cons The UI on the tool leaves much to be desired. It has a long ramp-up process to figure out the best workflows for your team. To do any kind of advanced functionality like time tracking or recurring tasks usually requires an add-on. Switched from [ActiveCollab](https://www.capterra.com/p/114491/Active-Collab/) We needed a tool that had more advanced abilities for task management Review Source Daniel K. Founder Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "JIRA is a giant but now there are other options" August 19, 2022 3.0 I used Jira a lot as a bug tracker and then as Project Scheduling/managment software. It is a nice tool, but today I'm prone to use Asana, Clickup or monday Pros Original approach to bug tracking, that evolved to project Scheduling, with an easy integration with other Atlassian tools. Cons Sometimes is hard to see the big picture. Other, new platforms have better approach for small projects Alternatives considered [monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/)[ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/)[Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CIO Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to implement, ready to go" February 8, 2023 5.0 I like JIRA to manage team's daily task in addition to customer's demand tracking. Pros Easy implementation is best feature of the software, especially cloud environment. Also it's a good example of all-in-one task and project management software. Cons Dashboard feature is not advanced, and price is a little bit high. Review Source Gabriela E. Video Specialist Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jira is great" September 9, 2020 5.0 Jira is an essential tool to my workflow that i use daily. It is good at what it was designed for and It keeps my whole team on track as well as in the know of what everyone is working on and the stage that they are in. Pros I like all the capabilities of the software. My team uses it for project management and tracking for video production and i think its a great tool. It tracks the stages of our projects well, time tracking is easy, the way it holds resources and holds project information is really detailed too and organized. It helps me stay on track and in the know of what I’m working on as well as being able to check in with teammates with ease on their projects. Cons I’m not a huge fan of the update to the interface but thankfully i can still switch to the old view which is what i use majority of the time. Sometimes moving a project stage can be a pain as well cuz there seems to be more of a stepper system vs a just drop down and click system. Review Source SA Sudeepth A. Software Engineer Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A goto product for bug tracking in your companY" August 24, 2020 5.0 Worked with other bug tracking tools in several companies and nothing matches the experience of using Jira. Very straightforward and less time spent to update bugs/ features on Jira and easy to migrate from traditional to agile planning. Pros The ability to integrate with other development tools like github, vscode, codecollaborator etc Easy to share and create queries on dashboard. Cons lacks text editor feature while writing a comment or description. The code palette could do better text display formatting. Also, need more text formatting options to display highlighted words or specific sentences when quoted Switched from [monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) for better experience and more details on history of any feature created Review Source ST Scott T. Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jira has been an essential tool in managing projects, client issues/bugs, and enhancement tasks" November 27, 2022 5.0 My main reason for choosing Jira was that I wanted a solution where I could grant my clients access to be able to add tasks or bugs and Jira has worked perfectly for that purpose. I have a few clients where I do a weekly status meeting and Jira is our main focus in the call. We review all issues with the 'In Review' status and if approved, we move them to the 'Done' status. We then look at outstanding items and adjust priorities as needed. My team then has their marching orders for the week. Pros The ability to assign priority ratings and then assign a task to a resource is great. I can then run reports to see all open, in progress, and done tasks by project, priority, or resource. Cons There is a bit of a learning curve. Jira is an extremely powerful tool and sometimes a bit overwhelming. In fact, I would guess that my team is only using a portion of the features available to us. Switched from [Basecamp](https://www.capterra.com/p/56808/Basecamp/) I needed a more robust issue tracking solution where I could adjust the user permissions based on things like client vs. employee and assign users to specific workspaces/projects.

SysAdmin Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A fully-featured project management tool" November 30, 2023 4.0 Jira integrates perfectly with a plethora of different tools. Very easy to set up, the GUI is also fully customizable and very neat. A lot of features are available to follow your SDLC by keeping track of the tasks, progress, releases, tickets, etc. Pros Jira handles extremely well the whole software development lifecycle, allowing you to completely control tasks, progress, notifications and so on. Cons Jira can be quite expensive if your team is big. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer BA Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "JIRA- the go to tool for Project Management" March 9, 2022 5.0 My experience with JIRA in last 2-3 years has been great. I have continuously using this for project management Pros JIRA gives us the ability to collaborate with fellow team members and see how much progress has been made in the project. You have the ability to upload documents and raise request. Cons JIRA has no such features which you won't be loved by all.

Product Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Better than others out there" May 15, 2023 5.0 Pros I like that it provided different views for tickets, it’s more PM friendly than other ticket managements softwares, and you don’t have to use all its features to get a lot out of it. Cons It’s got a massive learning curve. I’ve been using for over a year and a half and I’m still learning things everyday. Some flows are not as straight forward as others are. Sometimes I feel like I’m making things up to get by. Review Source KP KokYoon P. Snr SW Test Engineer Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Scrum platform" September 25, 2023 5.0 From product requirements to epic/story/task with story point is straight forward; together with the defect tracking system, it make product NPI turnaround at a much faster pace! Pros Using JIRA make scrum process much more easy and visualise it compare to other platforms. Cons Nothing at the moment; so far so good. No complain. Review Source PM Piotr M. Owner Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The one tool to manage it all" September 20, 2021 5.0 I'm very pleased with Jira, use in in couple of projects, fits well in all cases Pros Flexibility, especially since the next-gen versions (huge improvement). From quick kanban to scrum in seconds, and you can adjust on the go as you need (awesome). Cons Big leap between Jira and Trello in ease of use (kanban is not so qucik and user friendly as in Trello) Alternatives considered [Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/)[Podio](https://www.capterra.com/p/128631/Podio/) Reason for choosing Jira Well-known, easier to introduce to new employees Switched from [Freedcamp](https://www.capterra.com/p/132230/Freedcamp/) Needed to implemented Scrum in our organization Review Source KL Kaleb-John L. Senior Firmware Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Comprehensive Project Planning" September 9, 2020 5.0 JIRA is very useful once everything is properly setup. It is a reliable way to document information and can look very presentable once you are over the learning curve. Pros JIRA integrates with other Atlassian products which makes it very useful for maintaining documentation of projects. There are a lot of customizations that can be made that allow the workflow to be optimized. The data from JIRA can then be easily queried through their JQL query syntax to allow for the project information to be displayed in multiple useful formats. Cons There is a steep learning curve to using JIRA. It takes a while to get everything set up to manage a project in a way that fits the company.
