"n the next version I would like to see better reporting and safer plugins, as well as easier scalability."
"An improvement would be if Portfolio were integrated with Office 365."
"Learning JIRA is not so easy. There is a learning curve."
"Their interface is a little unique and I think that's partly because the core of the product has morphed into several sub-products, but the underlying architecture has stayed the same on all of them in that it was originally a help desk ticketing system. It's a very tech-focused product and that's fair given its origins, but if they really want to expand their community of users, then they're going to have to move beyond that a little bit and polish it up."
"There should be an integration of efforts between the cloud service providers' side and JIRA Portfolio."
"It would be nice if it could provide an end-to-end solution for a project."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"Azure DevOps could be improved with more security plugins, especially for SaaS scanning and vulnerability scans."
"The tool has a logical link between epic feature, user story, and task, but when you try to generate a report to show the delivery progress against a feature, it is not easy. To see the percentage completion for a feature or progress of any delivery, it is not easy to draw a report."
"I would like to see new features added."
"One potential enhancement in Azure DevOps could be integrating more customizable reporting features, particularly for Power BI integration."
"Not all companies use the same methodology which could limit the use of this solution."
"It should be easier to manage Licenses especially because it's in the cloud."
"Microsoft could focus on refining the reporting and dashboard elements of Azure DevOps to improve it."
"As for improvement, the first one is pricing. For us, luckily because we are partners, it's free. Microsoft gold partners do not have to pay, but if you're not a partner, the product is very expensive."
