Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Portfolio's best feature is integration with other JIRA products."
"Jira Portfolio is useful for tracking time and hours. It's easy to manage, create tickets, and change the status of delivery reports. It's not complicated."
"The most valuable feature is that it fits very well into an agile framework, and it is especially helpful with the planning aspects."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature for me is the visualization and organizing of the tasks. We can have a pick, and then we can stick the multiple issues under that, and then we can again have a sort of hierarchical installation, and that's very useful."
"Its stability is very reliable."
"The workflow and bucket features are most helpful."
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature. The user experience is very good, it's easy to use."
"I find all the features of the solution valuable."
"It's an easy solution to set up."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Project is scheduling. The solution is useful on a daily basis."
"It is easy to check project costs in the solution."
"The tool has a simple and excellent approach."
"Time tracking and budget tracking are the most valuable features of the solution."
"The ability to break down project phases is most valuable. Being able to align the tasks and reporting with project milestones and progress is also valuable."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The integration needs to be done with different tools."
"JIra is very poor at reporting."
"If I get a feature but there is not a user story, and I want to know which epic it belongs to, it is really hard to figure out."
"n the next version I would like to see better reporting and safer plugins, as well as easier scalability."
"The query features should improve in JIRA Portfolio. For example, if I would have to create my own queries for looking into something such as what business features we have released last month, or the last three months, I don't know if I can do it. The solution requires a certain level of expertise."
"The product presently lacks visualization capabilities"
"There should be an integration of efforts between the cloud service providers' side and JIRA Portfolio."
"The reporting and dashboard capabilities have room for improvement."
"It would be better if there were more access to Agile implementations."
"It would be better if the solution is integrated with other communication platforms like Microsoft Teams."
"It has a bit of a learning curve since there are a lot of features in it, and we haven't really gotten a chance to train through the whole product."
"This solution needs more templates focused on types of projects to ease setup."
"It is a traditional Waterfall-based solution, so it doesn't lend itself particularly well to Agile development. You can record Agile sprints within it, but it is not really an Agile-based product. It can store the basic information about budgets that an Agile set of work is looking to use, but that's about it."
"We'd like to be able to see different timelines as a part of one task."
"The Gantt set needs to be improved. The grid lines needs to be more interactive."
"There are a few bugs that can affect the stability. This is typical of most applications."
