Jira Reviews

Maintained by a big company. Simple installation process. Extremely customizable. Front-to end exposure (repository, issue tracking, feature management, etc.). Enormous user base with lots of exposure. Add-on plugins. Excellent documentation and support. We can take advantage of the 10 user certificates of confluence and green hopper. Will be good to use when the project is going to start.

Generally, customization, granted that it is done only at system productions state, is hard and time consuming. Most of functionality that is not required for use of system, cannot be deactivated; you need to dig through all superfluous stuff, in many cases. Even though JIRA documentation is immense and solid, filled with tutorials, you really need docs, to use JIRA, the system is so complex that you need to read docs almost for every customization task and even then, some views are hard to understand.

We use it mainly for logging defects and tracking them.

The UI is good. It's simple and not very complicated.

It's very good for tracking.

The thing I don't like is that it is hard to decide which dropdown options should be selected. When we try and submit it, it will state that there are certain mandates in place. It won't allow us to submit the form unless we fill out all the details.

I don't think Jira has a copy/paste option for emails. I know that you can attach emails, but I don't think there is a copy/paste option.

I've been working with JIRA for the past 10 years.

I would recommend Jira because it helps from a functional point of view and also with tracking defects. It is similar to Quality Center and is good.

I would rate it at seven on a scale from one to ten.

We use this solution for our scrum team and user story management.

This solution assists us with being able to quickly and easily start sprints and keep accurate track of them, including billing using a time-tracking add-on.

This solution is very easy to set-up and use. It is very intuitive.

The permissions can be challenging to get right.

We have been using this solution for five years.

• Running agile deliveries with dispersed teams. 
• The projects were typical agile, changing requirements frequently.
• JIRA facilitated story management perfectly.

• Overall, it has good viability. 
• Relatively easy for everyone to pickup and use. 
• It improved communication, as it was a popular tool, and most people enjoyed using it.

Kanban board: The board is easy to use and visually impressive to non-IT users, who found it easy to relate to.

• Report customisation could be improved. 
• Out-of-the-box reporting is limited. It would be helpful if more customisation was possible.

One to three years.

One of the valuable features is traceability from requirements to test cases.

Traceability was not available before. This is a great advantage for audits

I would like to see test execution modules.

We have used this solution for three years.

We encountered only a few issues with stability.

We did not encounter any issues with scalability.

Technical support is good. We use Beecom as the provider.

QC was used here, but I do not know why they made the switch.

JIRA can be parametrized quite intensively. Once you understood how it works, it works well.

We started here with this product, after the decision was made.

Use Beecom as the provider.

The ability to keep stories, bugs and documentation in one application is a valuable feature, as is the ability to easily create swim lanes for organizing work.

As everything is within one application, it is easy to write end-of-sprint reports.

It worked fine for my requirements.

Stability: we encountered occasional timeouts.

I have used this product on and off for about seven years.

I did not encounter any deployment issues.

We encountered occasional timeouts.

I did not encounter any scalability issues.

Customer Service:

I did not need to contact customer service.

Technical Support:

I did not need to contact technical support.

I have not used any other solution, before this product.

The setup was very straightforward.

We have implemented this product in-house.

This product is easy to set-up. There are many add-on applications to assist you further to manage all requirements such as Confluence for document control, Capture for testing, etc.

We are using Jira for user requirements, our development, and for our agile and scrum requirements. We create scrum boards for our projects.

The most valuable feature of Jira is the project package for development.

I have been using Jira for approximately three years.

 JIRA is very stable.

Jira has the ability to expand it is scalable.

We have approximately 25 users using this solution in my organization.

The technical support has been very good.

The initial implementation of Jira is not difficult because the solution is on the cloud.

The price of the solution could be less expensive. We pay annually for the solution.

The solution is very good and there is not much to improve. This has been working well. Our teams have been happily using it.

I rate Jira an eight out of ten.

Public Cloud

We use it for IT project management. We manage the timelines and resources, mainly people resources.

It is a stable solution, and we have had no issues with stability.

For our company, we're thinking about not only project management solutions but also collaboration solutions, and maybe if Jira had a chart or quick commenting option, it would be great.

I've been working with it for two years. It is a cloud-based solution.

We have had no issues with stability.

We currently have ten users, and it is free for ten users. However, we hope to increase usage.

I would rate Jira at eight on a scale from one to ten.
