"If you have multiple projects on one server, the tool becomes very slow, and some reports take longer to load."
"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."
"Teams need clearer pictures of resource availability in charts and dashboards along with plans."
"There should be an integration of efforts between the cloud service providers' side and JIRA Portfolio."

"The HR aspect of the solution could be improved."
"When using a scrum board, it only shows the current or open sprint. However, we also need to see past and future sprints, which is important for planning the next sprint. To solve this, we tried using a Kanban board instead, but since we follow the Scrum methodology, it's not the ideal solution."
"The solution is sometimes complex to use"
"As there are no perfect solutions and considering that I rate JIRA Portfolio's stability an eight out of ten, I feel it is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"In the next release, Portfolio should include more metrics and develop their portfolio planning."
