Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."The solution is extremely stable."
"I like that Jira allows you to customize the flow for an agile process and adapt it to your own flow."
"There are a couple of things that I find valuable about Jira, the first being its architecture. For instance, I like that you can create dashboards easily, which makes it very user-friendly. You don't need much training on that. You can just get right to it and people are able to use almost all of Jira's features with little training."
"I have found the tracking, project and task management most valuable in this solution."
"The two features that have been most valuable have been backlog management and sprint planning and tracking."
"The burndown chart is also helpful when it comes to reporting and allows us to know where we are going, especially during development."
"Work management software that has the flexibility to be configured for any company. It's stable, scalable, and offers responsive support."
"I'm working in the IT department, and the ticketing system is the most important service for us. We are also using some automation add-ons. It a very good product for handling tickets and tasks and managing processes. It is also very useful and easy to use."
"The primary uses for this tool are task delegation, generating reports, and on-time invoices."
"It increased productivity and timely delivery of projects within a set budget."
"Smartsheet is easy to use."
"As I am in the corporate legal department, I have to deal with a number of contracts and sometimes it's hard to keep up with email transactions. Having the tracker sheet and being able to build dashboards and workflow has been quite valuable."
"Smartsheet is stable."
"To me, one of the most powerful features of Smartsheet is being able to email others."
"The solution is straightforward. Whenever a requirement arises, we create three things in Smartsheet: a project plan, a dashboard, and internal documents. It is done through the form and Smartsheet's automation services. This process shortens the time to market from seven days to less than 12 hours."
"The product is easy to use."
"Smartsheet does a really good job of creating Gantt charts. Export to Excel feature was also very useful."
"This solution provides easy collaboration and allows non-building users to use the system without requiring a license."
"The Jira dashboards could be more useful. The dashboards have good widgets but the comparison of data over time or extraction of trends from the data is not easy."
"The work items structure is not hierarchical and that needs to be changed. It's too flat."
"There are some minor quirks, such as zero-point stories not appearing in the portfolio scope."
"Jira required a significant amount of system resources, particularly for larger organizations with extensive workflows and numerous projects."
"I would like to see test execution modules."
"There needs to be a way to export a user story."
"A lot of the user interface could be updated."
"We'd like to use it with non-Agile projects in the future, however, right now, it is a very Agile-focused product."
"The timely reminders could be reduced from one mail a day to three mails in a week. This tends to fill up our inboxes a lot."
"I think that the mobile interface needs to be improved. If you cannot access it through your laptop, I'd prefer to have that option on the mobile, but I don't think that it's user-friendly and easy to navigate."
"The product must include more modules for project management."
"You were forced to create a new tab rather than add another sheet."
"The long-term timelines could be improved, especially the visuals on the projection Gantt chart."
"Maybe the solution could be a little bit more flexible."
"Asana has a modern look and feel, particularly its agile project management interface featuring movable cards between columns."
"A room for improvement I found in Smartsheet is the view, as it's currently row-wise. I should have the opportunity to view a full scale, top down list instead of just a column driven list. I shouldn't have to go just left or right. I should be able to view it top down."
"Smartsheet's export and print functions could be more seamless. Once I create the plan in Smartsheet, I need to import it into my corporate web presentations. This isn't always smooth. I have to save it in PDF format, then cut an image from the PDF version."
