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."The solution is very stable."
"I use it to plan and schedule the things I take care of. I can create and share a document if I want to discuss new ideas with my team remotely."
"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."
"Has many functionalities including good supervision and workflows."
"In a PC environment, it is quite stable."
"Managing product development and managing inter-team communications are also valuable features."
"The valuable features of the JIRA Portfolio are the customization it provides which is very useful and the Agile project management capability."
"The product's centralized database creates a single source of data for working groups so no data needs to be reconciled."
"It stands out by automating the intricate mechanics of project execution, eliminating the need for highly technical individuals to manage and reconfigure models."
"Overall, our company has all disintegrated systems, and with Planisware, we are getting a very integrated view of my portfolio reporting, cost and load, and everything else."
"There are two things in particular that I enjoy. The first is the portfolio planning section. Another advantage is that it is highly customizable."
"We have a variety of different modules, but it is mainly used for costs, risks, and resources."
"The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution."
"The solution is performance-oriented and easily customized accordingly to many areas, such as performance KPI."
"JIRA and Confluence must be linked automatically."
"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."
"The interface JIRA Portfolio could improve."
"The solution is sometimes complex to use"
"The initial setup could use improvement."
"We had to use assistance for the initial setup."
"It's got kind of a steep learning curve."
"The team-centric view is slightly weaker in JIRA compared to its competitors, especially considering how I can evaluate how each resource has been placed, not just in one project but across JIRA."
"The solution's user experience and user interface need improvement because they are not that great and intuitive."
"The learning curve is steep and there could be more avenues for opening up learning materials to a broader audience, enabling individuals to gain practical experience with the tool."
"They do not have anything that can assist customers with multi-year roadmap planning."
