Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."This solution fits very well into our agile product management environment."
"The most valuable feature is the Scrum board."
"The main power of this tool is the integration between the different products of the Atlassian suite. We have good integration with work management with Java. This is the major strength from this provider."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the source linking on the commit level to git."
"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 most valuable feature of Jira is that it's a well-known tool that many people are familiar with."
"The burndown chart is also helpful when it comes to reporting and allows us to know where we are going, especially during development."
"There are a lot of plugins in Jira and we purchase the ones we need."
"The solution is very scalable and flexible."
"The design of the interface is clean and not too busy visually."
"It was very easy to learn Jira. As a scrum master, I run daily stand-ups, and they are run directly from Jira. The feature that I really love in Jira is called Issue Navigator. It allows me to customize how I want to show the user stories within Jira to my squad."
"There is room for improvement in the high-level project management."
"The automation for scheduling software and doing software tests should be simplified because it's complex and too rigid."
"The reports are not really customizable, which is something that they should improve on."
"If CI/CD is integrated with it, it would be better. I've used Azure DevOps before, and it's nice to have everything, such as CI/CD Repos and other things, integrated. Jira has fewer integrations. Azure DevOps has an easier interface, and it has got everything in one spot. I don't have to jump around in different applications."
"Once the solution is deployed, it's not easy to configure."
"The features are not intuitive. It would be good if there were templates."
"Pretty much 70% - 80% of the Next-Gen Projects features are still to be developed."
"A lot of the user interface could be updated."
"I would like integrated requirements management, so we do not have to buy plug-ins for JIRA, since it was hard to get requirements management for it."
"Something I do not like about the new version is that there is a need to browse all the way back to the beginning, should a person click on a task that is specifically for his group and wish to go back and look at the other portfolios or people."
"Some of the customizations are definitely a little challenging."
