Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."How you write your user stories, and the requirements gathering, in Agile Manager is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature is Jira Align, which is a plugin that helps you to understand the progress that is made against each epic."
"The informatics is the most valuable feature. It captures what we need."
"It is very configurable, and we can do whatever we want. Jira dashboards are also good, and we use them extensively. We also use the tracking mechanism extensively."
"Perfect for keeping track of large amounts of bugs, tasks queries and releases for fixes."
"It's a very complete product overall."
"Powerful features including a good reporting capability."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"What I find valuable about Jira is that it's an ecosystem. Sometimes, it does not provide the best in class solutions, but it's so well integrated. You will not have many problems with integration."
"The testing module that we are used to, that wasn't there at all."
"I want Jira to have more plug-ins, which will allow for more free plug-ins that help with the area of reporting."
"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."
"Of course, the price could always be cheaper."
"Atlassian has multiple tools and it becomes difficult for a customer to process everything differently. Atlassian should combine them and form a single solution for DevOps by including the Jira Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo, and others. This would be much easier for customers by purchasing a package, rather than purchasing bits and pieces. With Azure DevOps and other companies, it becomes easier to go with one company having multiple areas that they can cater to, but in Atlassian, the problem is that you have to select different solutions to have a full package. For example, to have document management customers have to purchase Confluence and for Git repository management they have to purchase Bitbucket, et cetera. There is always another add-on that you need to attach to have a complete solution in Jira."
"Users can be confused about how to use this tool as it's very complex."
"The way to configure it can definitely be improved. It is very difficult and complex to configure. Its configuration should be simplified."
"The next-generation software projects lack a lot, and I found quite a few bugs. There are some really basic things that you still cannot do. For instance, to put a mandatory due date for a task that you create in one of these projects is still not available. That's a bit of a block because people, especially those who are not technical, are not going to add anything if it's not mandatory. It's going to be difficult to teach them that they should do it anyway."
"Lacks some common building block approaches to certain things."
