Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"In Jira, the integrations I have used so far are the repository integration, like when it gets added, or the integration with Confluence, which is good."
"It gave us control over all test artifacts in one place, along with easy traceability, mapping between stories, bugs, test cases, and test cycles."
"A most valuable feature involves the ability to customize the entries and to update them quickly."
"It's flexible and it can provide a lot of different options, such as dashboards, that you can create and manage."
"It's really smart how they connected third-party vendors into their own marketplace. You can create and add apps. Anybody can do it."
"Issue linking has enabled teams to trace issues."
"The links between tickets are very valuable and the boards I found to be configurable and usable. The boards allow some level of extended configuration and they can be customized according to our project needs. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"Jira has been a good l tool for collaborating across large groups of people. The JQL feature is powerful and easy to use."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"It can have a more high-level view of portfolios. It has quite detailed views, but I would like a high-level view of portfolios. We want to integrate Jira with Microsoft Active Directory, and I don't know how easy or hard it is going to be. I don't know if Jira supports this. We are starting that integration in the last quarter of this year. I hope to find all the required tools for this integration."
"The solution should be more user-friendly and include integration with different tools."
"Jira is a little bit old fashioned, it could be more user friendly."
"It is not user-friendly."
"It should have its own repository for test case creation, so that one does not have to resort to third-party tools and plugins."
"Jira is a project management tracking tool, and it would be great to see integration with the source front or Azure DevOps, etc."
"Because I am a developer, I would like integration with Git Source Code Management so that for tickets, we can reference the code where the change has happened and where the issue is. This feature might be there, and I probably haven't discovered it."
"I also wish Jira had an indicator to tell you that you are approaching the limit for the story points that can be delivered during a sprint. I don't think there is an indicator like that, but such an indicator will be very helpful because then I will be easily able to see that we are approaching the limit."
