"The most notable aspect is its user interface, which we find to be user-friendly and straightforward for deploying and comprehending pipelines. We have the ability to create multiple pipelines, and in addition to that, the resource consumption is impressive."
"Permission separations mean that we can grant limited permissions for each team or team member."
"Jira is designed for issue tracking, making the process much easier than traditional methods like paper-based tracking. It is number one for agile management."
"It is very flexible, so we can do pretty much what we want with it."
"I liked the flexibility of the application. It was pretty user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is working with sprints and having the ability to create sprints."
"Everything is tracked in one place."
"Offers a common language set so we can bring people into projects and get them up and running almost immediately."
"It's easy to escalate the issues to the product development team."
"I can use Jira Query Language (JQL) to write queries to see the stories that are there for the current sprint. I can also sort them by assignment. I also use Jira is for burndown charts, which give an indication of how efficiently the squad is performing. I also use the Active Sprints function and a feature called Planning Poker."
"The tool must be more user-friendly."
"The documentation really should be improved by including real examples and more setup cases."
"The aspect that requires attention is the user management component. When integrating with BitLabs and authenticating through GitLab, there are specific features we desire. One important feature is the ability to import users directly from GitLab, along with their respective designations, and assign appropriate privileges based on that information. Allocating different privileges to users is a time-consuming process for us."
"Jira is raising their prices for the license, which is like a trap because many other providers offer services like Jira but for much cheaper."
"A lot of the user interface could be updated."
"Once a story is closed, all the records, versions, and documentation associated with it are gone. We lose the traceability of what was done."
"Jira can improve by making methodologies better, such as scrum and agile. Additionally, improvements in Kanban boards are needed."
"Sometimes, it is slow and hangs. We faced some stability issues where JIRA was down for a day. Also, we have lost some of our comments made in the JIRA because of downtime."
"There's a really steep learning curve for configuration."
"In terms of the general Jira software, one element that is missing is budget management. Perhaps such functionality exists in add-ons, however."
"The solution can improve by including test management functionality in a native bundle without plugins."
