"Traceability reporting is inbuilt and includes all your requirements."
"The most valuable features of the solution are highly customizable reports and visibility for all the higher management."
"The most valuable feature of JIRA Portfolio is the visuals it provides rather than Kanban boarded tickets."

"We have found the solution to be stable."

"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."

"Some administrative tasks are difficult to perform. These could be simplified."
"Jira has room for improvement in terms of managing various projects and linking requirements centrally under one project. They could include some add-ons that enable you to link all the requirements and put them into a centralized place. That central place should be restricted to a limited set of users with privileges based on user groups with those rights."
"In the next release, Portfolio should include more metrics and develop their portfolio planning."
"This solution is not able to be integrated with other solutions because you have to upgrade it and pay for more licensing."
