Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, GitLab, Atlassian and others in Enterprise Agile Planning Tools."The customized workflows we can define are very valuable. JIRA's private projects is very useful as well. There are also a lot of plugins that they provide."
"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."
"Jira's Structure, agile, and Kanban boards are helpful. I also like JQuery, which allows you to fetch the relevant set of data. We use JQuery, JQL, and the Structure board a lot. Kanban boards help us monitor daily tasks, and we review the progress using the burndown charts."
"The way to manage cards as a KANBAN, is really easy but when you need to track hundreds of projects, you need to be very clear in which way the things must be completed."
"Having an option to view dependencies between projects and teams is great."
"The valuable features of the JIRA Portfolio are the customization it provides which is very useful and the Agile project management capability."
"In a PC environment, it is quite stable."
"The product makes it easy to collaborate even though it can use some improvement in that area."
"It is a scalable solution. We have been able to manage larger scale projects easily using this solution."
"Microsoft Project Server helps organizations in collaboration."
"Microsoft Project Server is a scalable solution."
"The stability of the 2019 version is quite good."
"Project schedule management is very good. Basically, it sits on SharePoint. So, every time we create a project, a new project site is created within that SharePoint environment, which is a very good document repository. It allows us to create issues and risks lists and additional functionality to keep track of what's going on with projects."
"Resource allocation is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Project Server."
"There are many valuable features of this solution. It is very advanced and once you understand and learn how to use it, it can be quite powerful. The whole package can be quite powerful."
"The ability to look at the resource loading is most valuable."
"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective."
"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"The solution's tech support is good."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."
"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."
"There should be an integration of efforts between the cloud service providers' side and JIRA Portfolio."
"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."
"In the next release, Portfolio should include more metrics and develop their portfolio planning."
"The query features should improve in JIRA Portfolio. For example, if I would have to create my own queries for looking into something such as what business features we have released last month, or the last three months, I don't know if I can do it. The solution requires a certain level of expertise."
"Converting a task into an epic is very troublesome."
"It's got kind of a steep learning curve."
"The interface JIRA Portfolio could improve."
"If you want to generate a report for individual usage, it's difficult."
"It may be considered expensive."
"The solution should be made more collaborative."
"When a lot of users logged onto the site, it took a big toll on the service. Therefore, there is a scalability issue."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"We are on the on-prem version. The cloud, however, gives more regular updates that we can take advantage of."
"It needs to be more collaborative from inside the application. It only does project scheduling for me. It would be good if it could do other things and be more collaborative, such as sharing tasks for users. It is not really incorporated into MS Office, so you can't copy-paste stuff. It is on its own, doing its own thing. It is only used for scheduling, and it doesn't work well with anything else."
"The solution must provide Agile and AI features."
"Work needs to be done on collaboration with SharePoint."
"Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features."
"The reporting could improve project management. We need multiple source reports. If someone is new to the support it has a steep learning curve."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."
