"Jira is one of the most widely used tools in the market, and it has a vast amount of data already stored in it. Jira Align is crucial in orchestrating this data and providing valuable views and insights. However, it's essential for tools like Jira Align to offer configurable features. While complete customization might not always be feasible for enterprise-level tools, configurable features allow organizations to drive transformation accordingly."
"In general, the valuable features of the tool are its capabilities concerning dependency reports and task status."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard where we can see all of our projects and apply filters to shortlist those projects."
"The workflows are the most valuable feature of the solution, whether for tasks, bugs, or chain requests from the site. I also like the solution's GUI, which is easy to navigate for everyone."
"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 tool helps us achieve more within the stipulated timeline and budget."
"Version management is the most valuable feature of JIRA Portfolio."

"The solution’s stability could be improved."

"Other companies that are competitors of Jira and Confluence, they are able to create their active directories for the vendors that don't come in internally."
"JIRA and Confluence must be linked automatically."
"JIRA Portfolio could improve new implementation because if I want integration for the complete wide frame tools it cannot provide any wide frame tools."
"Jira has room for improvement in terms of managing various projects and linking requirements centrally under one project. They could include some add-ons that enable you to link all the requirements and put them into a centralized place. That central place should be restricted to a limited set of users with privileges based on user groups with those rights."
"If I get a feature but there is not a user story, and I want to know which epic it belongs to, it is really hard to figure out."
"I think their view needs to be more user friendly. The UI makes it difficult to find things. Secondly, the configuration is very complex. JIRA should help people find out what configuration they are using."
"The automation in JIRA Portfolio could improve, it takes some time. We have to do some other tactics to have the same integration. Manually integrating something will take more work than if it was automated, but the automation scripting in the solution is not simple."
"JIra is very poor at reporting."
"In the next release, Portfolio should include more metrics and develop their portfolio planning."
