Jira Align is crucial in orchestrating this data and providing valuable views and insights. However, it's essential for tools like Jira Align to offer configurable features. While complete customization might not always be feasible for enterprise-level tools, configurable features allow organizations to drive transformation accordingly."
"The tool enabled everyone to see the status of each environment."
"Jira Align has been quite a helpful tool for us because, without it, we would be juggling with all our story points or our backlog items, which would be difficult to manage."

"The product's most valuable feature is CMDB for services desk management and backlog projects."
"Jira Align is an easy-to-use and user-friendly solution."

"The product should improve its communication. My English proficiency is not high, but writing in English is another skill that you need. Maybe AI can help here. Because I can see in some other applications, they have AI helpers. So when you write something and you want to do something, it can help. For example, Google Cloud Platform has it. They have a helpdesk for it. When you want to create a cluster, it can help you."

The solution requires a certain level of expertise."
"We are using the on-premise deployment, but it is slower and not as easy to manage as the cloud version."
