Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Agile Planning Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Good for managing stories, sprints, hydration and releases."
"Traceability reporting is inbuilt and includes all your requirements."
"All of the features work together to provide a powerful holistic solution - from the dashboard all the way through to security."
"The most valuable features of the solution are highly customizable reports and visibility for all the higher management."
"Work distribution among team members and accountability for completion with a clearer picture."
"Agile templates give us a standard methodology for every Agile project. Also, the ability to create our own object types and linkages to features/epics allows us to enhance the verification of feature readiness."
"We can track the status of test cases (passed or saved) in a single view. Based on releases and other attributes, we generate various reports and extract metrics from the data."
"Reporting: It gives a nice report of my backlog and what my team has currently spent its efforts on."
"Great for tracking my development team's productivity."
"I have found Jira to be scalable."
"It is very configurable, and we can do whatever we want. Jira dashboards are also good, and we use them extensively. We also use the tracking mechanism extensively."
"The timeline management is great."
"The product provides high flexibility to create new workflows quickly."
"Jira is easy to use and there are a lot of tools that are integrated with it."
"It's really smart how they connected third-party vendors into their own marketplace. You can create and add apps. Anybody can do it."
"We have encountered issues with stability. We have seen where the entire system kind of goes for a toss when certain people use certain types of queries, which are very costly. Then the system kind of slows down a bit, and we have to monitor it."
"Lacks ability to customize and reporting can be slow."
"The solution is very heavily vendor dependent."
"Some administrative tasks are difficult to perform. These could be simplified."
"If you have multiple projects on one server, the tool becomes very slow, and some reports take longer to load."
"Teams need clearer pictures of resource availability in charts and dashboards along with plans."
"Of course, the price could always be cheaper."
"The solution's stability could be improved, and it could be made more robust."
"This solution could be improved by including a different model for the overall planning perspective. There's a Jira portfolio that we aren't using. The only challenge we're facing is that we cannot see the overall planning."
"We'd like to see Jira have more integration with a development ID."
"Jira should allow you to create and develop pipelines easily. In India, we have to purchase them separately or integrate other data tools. All these tools should be in Jira."
"If I'm comparing it to ALM Octane, the documentation is not as robust as ALM Octane's documentation. So, they can improve on the documentation side."
"What could be improved is the migration between the testing and production environments. This could be automated somehow as the manual transfer of certain workflows and functionalities is very time consuming right now."
"The reporting capabilities, specifically customized reports, should be improved. The out-of-box reports don't meet our needs. We are big into customizing our reports, and being able to do ad hoc reporting would be good."
