We performed a comparison between IBM Engineering Workflow Management and Jira based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Agile Planning Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Good for managing stories, sprints, hydration and releases."
"Work distribution among team members and accountability for completion with a clearer picture."
"Traceability reporting is inbuilt and includes all your requirements."
"Agile templates give us a standard methodology for every Agile project. Also, the ability to create our own object types and linkages to features/epics allows us to enhance the verification of feature readiness."
"All of the features work together to provide a powerful holistic solution - from the dashboard all the way through to security."
"We can track the status of test cases (passed or saved) in a single view. Based on releases and other attributes, we generate various reports and extract metrics from the data."
"When we run the Jenkins pipeline, the build is already automatically connected to Jira. We've been able to integrate the ecosystem we created using this automation tool."
"We integrate Jira with QRadar which is helpful."
"The flexibility to create different flows is most valuable."
"Jira has been a good l tool for collaborating across large groups of people. The JQL feature is powerful and easy to use."
"Transparency of development projects, as well as approval processes for some business projects, has improved massively."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it is a quite powerful user tracking system."
"Jira is very user friendly, easy to install, and easy to access."
"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."
"The solution is very heavily vendor dependent."
"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."
"The sprint-related graphics need to be improved."
"Lacks some common building block approaches to certain things."
"We'd like to see Jira have more integration with a development ID."
"We're doing PI planning, Program Increment planning, and that kind of stuff, and it's not always a good facilitator for that. We tend to pull it out and put it into other tools to manage that, and then we get it back into Jira as that's our system of record for where all the stories are kept. That's probably the biggest headache with it."
"I also wish Jira had an indicator to tell you that you are approaching the limit for the story points that can be delivered during a sprint. I don't think there is an indicator like that, but such an indicator will be very helpful because then I will be easily able to see that we are approaching the limit."
"There's a really steep learning curve for configuration."
"Tracking is important but the built-in features don't meet our needs."
"The user interface is very detailed right now. It could be simplified if they consider targeting the user experience."
