"We can cope with processes easily without adapting the tool, but adapting the tool to processes."
"I liked the flexibility of the application. It was pretty user-friendly."
"Work management software that has the flexibility to be configured for any company. It's stable, scalable, and offers responsive support."
"I like seeing which tickets are open and what our response rate is. They have a lot of good metrics in their system to see what's going on."
"When combining Jira with Bitbucket, you have the possibility to ensure continuous integration and other functions which is highly appreciated by our software development team."
"The UI is good. It's simple and not very complicated. It's very good for tracking."
"It allows you to do a lot of stuff, and the functionality is pretty rich. It integrates well with other products, like GitLab, that we are currently intensely using at the company."
"We use Jira for project management and tracking."
"You get a complete solution with Azure DevOps. You can do everything in one place, starting from requirement gathering until you release the product. It is a reliable, scalable, and handy product."
"The product is easy to use...It is a stable solution."
"The CI/CD pipeline setup is more user-friendly. You can manage various stages, and there are over 400+ plugins available for each stage."
"The most valuable feature is automation with version control."
"I like the fact that there is built-in Power BI. Both are Microsoft tools. So, you can incorporate dashboard capabilities."
"The available Kanban board is the best feature for management decisions."
"This is an all-in-one, one-stop shop, nothing comes close."
"The pricing seems to be reasonable."
"I'd like to see better notetaking capabilities so every user can get notes when someone provides comments on a Jira ticket. So if they don't want to provide the comments on the Jira ticket, they can get the personal notes in a Jira tool for every profile."
"So at one point in time, they did a huge UI upgrade. At that time, I felt like they had changed something, so it was hard to figure out. Now that we are habituated, it's not an issue now."
"A lot of the user interface could be updated."
"I would like to see visualization of release planning. I can list the releases and I can give dates to releases, but to show how they are happening on a timeline, I would need to order the Portfolio part. But just for this, it may be too much to use the Portfolio for that."
"The solution needs more integrations with Azure DevOps OnPrem."
"Jira can improve by making methodologies better, such as scrum and agile. Additionally, improvements in Kanban boards are needed."
"The features are not intuitive. It would be good if there were templates."
"it would be helpful to have a better tutorial for learning and to have a better understanding of what the features are and what they do."
"The ability to integrate Microsoft Azure DevOps with other platforms and Microsoft products can be improved."
"Its price can also be reduced. It would be great if they are a little bit more competitive in terms of pricing because many open-source products are currently available in the market."
"Some things like project management, tasks, progress, and having work progress views require us to use some external tools, or to create our own internal tools. These are not native to DevOps. It would be ideal if, instead of searching for third-party solutions, they had these feature sets or capabilities included under DevOps."
"At times, our development work encounters issues, particularly when executing numerous CI/CD processes."
"I would like to see a bit more project tracking."
"It is not that intuitive. Sometimes, it is hard to find some of the functions. I would like to have an old-fashioned menu structure to be able to easily find things. Its environment setup is not very good. They should improve the way it is set up for different screens and make it easier to find functionalities and maintain team members."
"I would like to see new features added."
"There are some areas that need improvement such as tracking."
