"Portfolio's best feature is integration with other JIRA products."
"The documentation is very well done."
"The most valuable feature of the JIRA Portfolio is the many features it provides, such as code integration, documentation, roadmap, and Eclipse. The solution is useful for product managers."
"Portfolio's most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and customer-centric."
"It would be better if there weren't any outages. There are occasions where we usually see a lot of outages using GitLab. It happens at least once a week or something like that. Whatever pipelines you're running, to check the logs, you need to have a different set of tools like Argus or something like that. If you have pipelines running on GitLab, you need a separate service deployed to view the logs, which is kind of a pain. If the logs can be used conveniently on GitLab, that would be definitely helpful. I'm not talking about the CI/CD pipelines but the back-end services and microservices deployed over GitLab. To view the logs for those microservices, you need to have separate log viewers, which is kind of a pain."
"The integration could be slightly better."
"GitLab can improve by integrating with more tools, such as servers with Docker."
"GitLab would be improved with the addition of templates for deployment on local PCs."
"As a partner, sometimes it's difficult to get support. They have a really complicated procedure for their support."
"It can be free for commercial use."
"GitLab could improve the patch repository. It does not have support for Conan patch version regions. Additionally, better support for Kubernetes deployment is needed as part of the package."
"Atlassian offers more products than GitLab. GitLab offers source control management, version control and collaboration between developers. Atlassian offers features on top of this as well as more integration points for developers."
"Requires some effort to insert functionalities and that could be simplified."
"In the next release, Portfolio should include more metrics and develop their portfolio planning."
"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."
"Portfolio is easy to scale, but we've had some difficulties with it regarding compliance and support."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"n the next version I would like to see better reporting and safer plugins, as well as easier scalability."
"When I want to embed Jira Portfolio in a complete HLI cycle, I'm missing things to evaluate my ethic into my value stream."
"The interface JIRA Portfolio could improve."
