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."The roadmap feature and the ability to integrate with Power BI are probably the most valuable features in it. It is a great solution. I absolutely love it. It is a tool that was designed for project management, and it has been awesome to work with it so far. I also love Confluence."
"Jira can track projects, time management of assignments, and keep everything on schedule. The performance of the solution is good."
"The most valuable feature is that it is somewhat flexible."
"One of the most valuable features is querying because the jQuery function is very good. Additionally, we can create good designs very easily."
"Provides good output and is user-friendly."
"A most valuable feature involves the ability to customize the entries and to update them quickly."
"The initial setup isn't too complicated."
"The most valuable feature is Jira Align, which is a plugin that helps you to understand the progress that is made against each epic."
"It integrates so well with other Zoho applications, and that really helps to extend the features of Zoho Projects."
"It's easy for a user with a technical background to set up Zoho Projects on their own."
"We use the tool for our core business project. If we have a new site coming up, there are many milestones that need to be checked. The solution helps to ensure consistency."
"Zoho Projects is very flexible and user-friendly."
"The product is very easy to understand."
"The product can be seamlessly integrated into our CRM."
"While integrating a voice solution with Zoho Projects, the focus was on creating a unified interface for voice and customer engagement across various platforms like Facebook, social media, and emails. The primary goal was to seamlessly merge the two platforms into a single interface. To achieve this, we engaged in API integrations and worked on aspects such as initializing, authentication, and access control."
"Timesheets and the ability to add attachments are very valuable features to us."
"I have had problems with performance and unresponsiveness. All of a sudden, the performance slowed down, and I had a number of users that could not use the tool."
"The documentation on how to create dashboards and take advantage of other features in the tool are areas where the tool has certain shortcomings."
"The initial setup was a bit problematic in terms of getting access to Jira. That goes for a few users, including me."
"One major issue that I, and even our business stakeholders, have noticed is related to Epic Link. When Epic Link's background color is a dark color, it effectively becomes unreadable. I wish there was a way for us to change the text color of Epic Link in the Issue Navigator view."
"If I'm comparing it to ALM Octane, the documentation is not as robust as ALM Octane's documentation. So, they can improve on the documentation side."
"While it's very powerful, it's very complex sometimes."
"The plugin management needs a lot of work."
"The tool lacks support for testing aspects, which means we often rely on integrations with other tools for testing purposes. If Jira could incorporate testing modules within its platform, it would eliminate the need for external integrations."
"If given the opportunity, I would focus on improving automation within Zoho Projects. While attempting to integrate with other platforms, users often encounter errors. The integration capabilities of Zoho Projects could be enhanced. Currently, the integration options are categorized as either easy or customized, with the latter requiring deluge code, which might pose challenges due to its lesser-known usage."
"Zoho Meeting definitely needs an improvement, because the quality is not as good as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, which I've used in the past."
"The solution’s interface should be improved."
"The only room for improvement over here is a feature related to the trend, like AI-related things that we can expect need to be introduced."
"Zoho Projects' time log addition part can be improved."
