One piece of advice, which they also give in their documentation, is to use your own database management system. They give you something that you can use. It is called HSQL or something like that, but you can use what your company can afford, such as MySQL or SQL Server, and manage that yourself. It will help you to do better data management and backup management. I would use the built-in backup management system as a backup, although I haven't had any problems at all in years. Just for a warm fuzzy, it is always good to have a backup system.

I would recommend looking into primary tools depending on your needs. If you're doing software, FishEye and Crucible are great products to utilize with it. You also have Confluence and Bamboo for continuous build management. Tempo, of course, is good for certain types of management.

I would rate Jira a nine out of 10.

We're just customers and end-users.

I upgraded the application back in December, so we're on 8.13 right now. While we're currently on-premises, one of the things that were on my to-do this year was to consider moving to the cloud, which is something that we are very interested in doing.

Currently, we're using the Jira Data Center.

Our company has barely scratched the surface of the power of Jira in my personal opinion as they've just largely tried to do a bunch of customization. There was no governance set when I first joined the organization. People were just allowed to create whatever they wanted in any way they wanted, and it needed to be cleaned up, which doesn't help my efforts of course. 

There might, in the near future, be many people who get siphoned off of Jira as the company already made a decision that Bamboo and Bitbucket are going. They're moving all the software development activities into Azure DevOps. We already know that. That's already been decided. Atlassian doesn't know that, however, it's happening. The process is probably going to take a year, maybe two. We haven't really rolled it out yet or defined or planned it out. That said, it will happen. Whether or not Jira sticks around though, we don't know yet. I'm hoping it will as I love using it.

I'd advise new companies that one of the biggest things to do at the outset is to just put some governance in place before you go rolling out. It's a super-powerful application. However, if you are in a large enterprise organization, you need to establish an advisory board before you go rolling this thing out. Really think about a steering committee. How are you going to handle requests for customization? What will the board handle? What will the board not handle? Or the committee, whatever you want to refer to it as. They obviously did not do that here when they rolled this out. It can be a really great thing if you have that in place. It's not overly cumbersome.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

I haven't used a lot of direct integration with Jira. I've seen it used with code repositories for continuous integration and continuous deployment. It's really fast. Everything is automated and very easy to set up. I haven't used all of the features. I would definitely recommend Jira. My advice is to use the online resources on the Jira home page. There are a lot of people who will help you set it up for free. We can avoid making a lot of mistakes by using the community advice. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I recommend Jira for its usability, especially for writing user stories and adjusting metrics, though it is expensive.

Jira has improved our team's productivity mainly through integrations, particularly with Slack. This integration helps keep track of changes made to user stories, providing alerts for any updates. 

I would recommend Jira for managing projects in agile environments, but certain features are necessary for better functionality, like improved capacity calculation and streamlined task creation. Additionally, Jira can be expensive, so essential tools like test planning should ideally be included in the standard subscription rather than requiring costly third-party plugins.

Overall, I would rate Jira as a seven out of ten.

My company uses the product for planning tasks.

The product has played a major role in helping my company in the area of bug tracking. During the testing phases, be it SIT or UAT testing, if there were any issues, our company used to log the bug using Jira, and then we connect with the respective users, so we have a track of which particular bug and check to see if the bug is related to which user storage.

Jira helped our company's project management, analytics, and reporting parts. If you look at the analytical part, my company used to get the hours we have availed each of the user storage. When it comes to the user storage part, my company would like to see whether the hours we consumed were optimal or if it was over-consumed, which is information that we track with Jira. The tool is useful for tracking progress and seeing where my company stands when it comes to tickets. Each ticket might have a certain due date, which the company gets to see using Jira. Altogether, the tool helps users eventually understand the team's progress, the current sprint details, and how much of the team's capacity has been used. With Jira, my company gets to see the aforementioned details, so we were able to track it with the product's dashboard.

I am not used to using the product's integration capabilities with other solutions.

The product's user interface is good.

I recommend the product to others who plan to use it.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

We use Jira for sprint planning and agile project management. We used to maintain a two- or three-week sprint. We found and tracked different user stories, epics, and milestones in that sprint. We used to complete the two-week sprint with all the user stories, epics, and milestones in that particular sprint. We also put the blockers we use in the backlogs so that they could be handled in the next sprint.

Jira's bug tracking and issue resolution works quite well. Users should explore more features and understand and learn more about the solution.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

We don't use bug tracking in Jira. I haven't contacted support at all. I’m not responsible for maintaining the Jira deployment. My colleagues take care of it. I might recommend the solution depending on the size and purpose someone wants to use it for. If we don't have personnel to administer Jira, we will have to hire a relatively expensive company to do it. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.

I would advise going with the entire Atlassian suite. Don't just use one aspect of Jira, unless you have a very specific need for using bits and pieces. Jira is better when Confluence and everything can be integrated, and you have source code management and all of that from the same software or platform.

Workflow-wise, you need to plan well because once you configure it, you cannot often change a workflow. For each project, the workflow might be different. You might have a development team, a QA team, a configuration team, and a deployment team. When you start a task, you just need to make sure you are covering everyone. In terms of the workflow, you should know what would happen if someone is not there, and what are you going to do. So, you need to make sure that you are covering those things. Other than that, you need to know how much you are going to take care of the hierarchical level permissions. These are two primary things, and then, later on, you can relabel quite a lot of things in terms of how you're using the backlog product and user stories.

Use all the reports which are generated. You have to make a system for the process. Here is a small example during a subtask. The time input via the source is not mandatory. But you have to make it mandatory either from the back end.

You’ll not be able to fetch the reports on the performance, the health of the project, capacity management, or IT management if the data is not input properly. So this is something which people most people don’t take care of as a Jira planning. But when you plan a project, you have to plan these things.

Try to be tidy from day one because it can get messy very easily. Jira is very flexible, and you can still move and migrate stuff around. However, the reality is that nobody is going to have the time later on to migrate and clean-up. I also recommend starting small because at the beginning it can be scary, especially for non-technical people. I'm thinking about the amount of notifications you'll get, for instance.

I would definitely start small and then slowly, while people are getting used to it, keep implementing it and adding features like roadmaps or dashboards. Try to have a plan or a scheme of how you want it to look before you actually start.

It's a great product and is widely used, so I would rate it at 8 on a scale from 1 to 10.

I'm at a professional service company, and I'm the manager, so I don't work with any solution, e.g. my team works with the solutions. My team works with Jira plus Xray, then Azure DevOps, and Micro Focus ALM.

Micro Focus ALM is a very powerful solution, because you can link from the requirements to the test plan and the test lab. In the test lab, you can aggregate the test cases that you want to execute, including defect management. You can incorporate all these into a release, and inside this release, you can have several execution cycles. I'm referring to the functions of all the assets, e.g. functional testing. Jira doesn't have versioning, compared to Micro Focus ALM, so you can have different and fresh versions of the same asset. You can do that using different names, but Jira is not as well-designed as ALM.

I'm rating Jira an eight out of ten.

I would advise having proper planning because you don't want to clutter your Jira. Without proper planning, you would go on creating a lot of labels and other things, which would be of no use. You need to do release planning and then accommodate things into Jira. 

A lot of companies have a separate release planning team, and then there is a separate Jira infrastructure team. All these teams should think and work together. Otherwise, everybody would be creating their own tags, which won't make sense. I might create a tag for daily bugs, and someone might create another tag for the same thing, which would result in cluttering.

I would rate it an eight out of 10. Jira is an amazing tool. There is no doubt about it. We have no thoughts of using any other tool.

I would recommend that an organization implementing Jira ensure that someone gets training both at the developer level and the project manager level. The developer needs to know what needs to be done, what are the components and why are they there. The project manager should join the training and determine if there is a relation between multiple projects to see that they are really integrated well into other components of continuous integration and continuous delivery.

Because of the slowness, I would rate Jira an eight out of ten.

We have an on-prem installation of Jira. I cannot tell you the version of it. I don't actually care, as long as I can store my stories. They're moving into a soft solution, potentially next year, with it.

I am very happy with the tool. I would recommend others to use Jira anytime, as it's super flexible and there's a lot of things that are not being leveraged at all. There's so much power in the product - we don't even know half of it, I would say, in the organization. 

I'd advise new users to not over-customize it. If you just get it out of the box, you already have a really good evolution and you tend to break it by over-customizing it.

Review all your use cases for the tools to see if Atlassian matches up nicely to those you need; makes integration easier when all are from one provider.

My advice to others wanting to implement this solution is to utilize the SaaS solution unless it is required not to.

Unless you are invested in something like that, there is a benefit of just using a SaaS solution.

I have used Micro Focus Quality Center, which is purely a defect management tool. We can also use Jira as a defect management tool. When you compare both tools, Jira is now the best tool for defect management and running scrum projects. You can even expose the Jira APIs to do automation.

If you find a defect, you can automate the process of logging in to Jira and erasing the incident. When you find a defect while running JMeter scripts, you can take the APIs and automate it to save time. The automation process can be done through Jira because it exposes its APIs to third parties to integrate with other tools.

You can expose Jira APIs and integrate the solution with other tools. You can have your own dashboard using the APIs. I would recommend the solution to other users.

I would rate JIRA nine out of 10. From a technical background, it depends on what you would like to use — which stack you want to go for. In other words, it depends upon the kind of infrastructure you have right now. For example, say you are developing software on Microsoft's .Net framework, then you are obviously already using Visual Studio and Microsoft Stack. In that case, it's a lot easier to integrate with TFS. But if you are using open-source solutions, like a Java platform, you can go for JIRA. So it totally depends upon the technical capability, or technical infrastructure one has.

View full review »

It depends on what you want to use Jira for, and what's the problem you're trying to solve. If you're going to do defect tracking and management of an artifact and you have got requirements, code, and tests, and they all got to summarize, you have to then go ahead and take Jira. You can then buy Crucible for the peer reviews and Xray for the test management and get them to work seamlessly with each other. 

I would rate Jira an eight out of ten. It is fairly cheap. For a nine or ten, it would be like DOORS and Jazz platform, but the problem with that is that it would become really expensive.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using currently. 

I'm a customer and an end-user.

I'd advise users considering the solution to make sure that they have a little time to review it and understand the tool and make sure they actually find that it is a good solution to meet their needs and that it's what they're looking for. From Agile delivery teams that are here to deliver their MVPs and stuff like that, I think it's great to keep track of all their backlogs and stuff like that. It is also great for someone from a use case perspective as they break it down well.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. Of course, I'm still learning it. That said, it's great for keeping track of all the items and the stuff that needs to be done and for the use cases that have been closed, to make sure that we get the proper sign-off and understand the line of business.

The main advice would be to just use it as much as possible and try to learn the basics of JQL, which is Jira's proprietary language that allows you to tell Jira exactly what you want to see. It is pretty self-explanatory and not hard to use. There are so many different fields in Jira such as issue type, key, sprint, summary, Epic Link, reporter, assigning, status, story points, and components. You can add the required columns to the Issue Navigator view, and it will spit back exactly what you wanted to see.

You should also learn what kind of value it can add to the organization before just jumping in. Try to talk to senior management and figure it out. You should learn how to read the burndown charts to basically understand how efficiently the team is working. Every organization has an IT organization, and I am sure the majority of them are using Jira.

I would rate Jira an eight out of ten. No tool is perfect, and there is obviously room for improvement.

I'd advise other companies to go for it and try using it. Jira is one of the biggest players in the market. It's a scalable solution and very user-friendly. The onboarding is quite simple. I have never been trained and I've been using it for the four past years. Whenever there is a new release on Jira, we get a guide, which is helpful, and instructions as we use the latest version that comes in the form of pop-ups on your screen. If you want, you can just disregard it, but once you discover them, you can just hover over with your mouse and you can see the new features. If an organization is looking for something that will be easy for its workforce to adapt to, Jira would be a smart choice.

With the communication and the bridges that we've established with other tools, it's helping other teams get the information they need without having to get the Jira license or get them to go onto Jira. They just need to find their tool and they get the update from Jira in real-time.

In terms of project management, Trello is not enough of a solution to manage complex projects and maybe some new functions can be developed.

Perhaps there is something that we can do to create a referring community to develop those new use cases and more simple use cases, and, at the same time, use them for more general purposes in the company. Atlassian fits in the technical side, in the IT side really well. It just needs to move to become friendly in a retail workspace environment, outside of its traditionally technical background.

My advice is that the better you structure yourself and understand Scaled Agile and how you want to set up the project the more successful you'll be at using it for your organization's purposes. If you're going in there as a novice that doesn't understand anything about Scaled Agile you could create a mess for yourself and then it won't give you the value you are seeking.

Our team does not use the solution exclusively. There are multiple ones which do, although I cannot state how many teams are doing so. I do know that the entire section of our agency is doing so and this accounts for a lot of people, well over a hundred. 

The solution is pretty good and is geared towards those with multiple teams who are using it for the same purposes as us. We use it for providing daily and scrub updates, for which it is really good, as it allows one to track every entry and see when it's entered, timestamp and all. So, if a person has a lot of mission-critical or time-sensitive activities, JIRA is pretty good for tracking and helping to keep everything organized.

We're just a customer.

I'd advise, for those users who don't need an enterprise-level environment, that they go for a cloud deployment. For others, they don't really have a choice. They will have to follow up with enterprise security and other protocols. There are not that many options, I would say. 

I have learned that Jira, starting in 2024, will not be available as a server installation anymore. Soon there won't be any options at all. It will be the cloud or nothing. 

Overall, I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. It's a very good product.

For small teams, the cloud works well. You can do basically whatever you want there, so it's fine. It's also not cost intensive if you're talking about using it for small teams.

My advice to anyone thinking about Jira is that it would be wise to at least find out the most crucial functions that you need in the product, what features are most important, determine how the project will use Jira, and the most important thing is to have some kind of user training plan because the tool is so complex and flexible that you can use it in many, many different ways. 

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Jira a nine.

I would give it a nine because of course it needs some improvements. For example, the usability and its speed.

My advice to future users is to check out sources like YouTube and look at the main features you want. Potentially with JIRA, particularly with the cloud version, they have a seven day trial. I suggest that future users sign up for the free trial to make sure the features of JIRA meet their personal requirements. Also, the user should make sure that JIRA is a good fit for the user's organization.

Ensure that your admins learn by first installing to a QA server for experimentation, if you are doing it on-premises. As for those learning it in the cloud version, create dummy projects, categorize them as such, and be careful about how many changes you make at once.

I prefer some different practices, like story mapping and inbox mapping or strategy planning. The story mapping is included in all Jira installation. It would be good to see some features for strategy and portfolio handling planning in Jira. I have used Aha! and this tool has a very good framework with a good toolset. The toolset for strategy planning, toolset for portfolio handling, toolset for product handling, and toolset for daily work handling is very good. I think the Aha! team did very good work. I know that this company is an American company and is a competitor for Jira and for some other tools. Unfortunately, I never heard about this tool before and don't know any other company using this tool, but the tool is very impressive. There are a lot of good features. It would be good to see something like that in Jira.

I would rate Jira a seven out of ten. I would give it a higher number if the features that I mentioned for the strategy planning would be included in the framework.

My advice for anybody who is implementing Jira is that it easy to use but you want to understand what your requirements are. You want to know what you want to use it for, and what you want to achieve by using it. 

With Jira, you get what you input, in terms of your data. For me, I get what I need out of it.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

Understand your own process: What you are looking for, the size of your company, what your budget is, and the larger plans for the future. There are tools that scale better than others and there are solutions that fit to both small and big teams. There are tools which scale better for larger companies. 

Most important criteria when evaluating a vendor: 

• We evaluate the company's strategy.
• If they bought an legacy solution to add to the portfolio or if they are developing from scratch.
• What are their plans for the future?
• What type of support do they have?
• What is their business model? 
• Do they have domestic experience or not?
• Are they focusing only on a few customers, and the size of those customers?

Read the online documentation, know what processes and procedures you wish to implement first, and keep it simple. Workflows can collapse under their own weight if they're overly complex for the sake of complexity, simply because "that's just the way things have always been done". Simplify simply simplify.

From a project management perspective, my project manager assigned some Jira tickets, and I started to do it on a weekly and daily basis. I send a request to a Jira ticket to open it, and during the process, I start describing how I am replicating that issue, explaining it in that Jira ticket. After that, I resolved that Jira ticket put that Git code in the expression part, and submitted it.

Regarding reporting and analytics features, my company uses Jira for software development projects as if it were a single tool. My company uses the tool in a manner where we send requests to one developer, and they open a Jira ticket using the email. Every day, they update so that everybody is able to see it without any description, while my team can see what the developer is doing daily. If a developer is updating, everybody can see that in the company. The tool is very easy to use, and it is easy to understand areas like script planning, story points, and backlog grooming.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. I worked with two scrum tools. In Azure also, my company uses scrum, which is a little bit uncomfortable for me, but I am very comfortable with Jira, a major reason I suggest it to other people.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

When we cut over to Agile, it was a huge task to get everybody on the same page in terms of the setup and rollout. When we looked at each other's desktops, it looked so different, and our central team did a lot of effort in making it all look the same. I saw the full central team being pulled forward to resolve these inconsistencies. 

It is so open that it allows inconsistency. So, you need to have a very strong and resourced team for the initial setup, implementation, and training. Otherwise, it can just fail. It could be a good thing that it is open, and everybody can have their own Jira, but finally, when the organization wants some statistics on what's happening at the enterprise level, you will not get any data. So, my suggestion to anyone cutting over to Jira is to have a very strong and resourced team centrally. You should roll out, learn, and come back to it. You should repeat this process and keep on learning and coming back. It has to be a very strong cycle.

I would rate it an eight out of 10.

To a certain extent, maybe 70% to 80%, Jira will meet your project development budget. It has integrations with other platforms, so if you want to put it in your DevOps continuous integration flow, it can be done.

When I am evaluating a product or vendor, I have some intuition about it. I see how the thing is built and works, and I go by my own impression. For me, that is important. And, of course, price and maturity of the product, along with flexibility, are important criteria.

I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10. It's an excellent product. It has already improved. It has good support. From the beginning, it was very smart and customizable and built well, works well. There are almost no bugs that I have discovered. It's a good product.

I just saw an advertisement on the street for a product called Monday.com. I read a few lines, a few words about it. I hadn't heard of it before that, but I understand it does something similar to JIRA. Obviously, I can recommend using JIRA but if you are searching for something else, the first impression I got from reading the home page of Monday.com was good, so maybe it's worth evaluating.

The solution is fairly good at doing a lot of things, and is potentially very good, but it takes some getting up to speed on. I've used a product called Kanban Flow, and that's very intuitive, very easy to use. Jira seems to be more complicated and requires having specialists on board so that if you have a problem, you can get help immediately without having to go through the ordeal of submitting a ticket and waiting two or three days to get a response, which may not be helpful at all.

Have a training session before you begin using it. That tool is good for teamwork, but it doesn't replace a face-to-face discussion. Among yourselves and your teams, establish some conventions as to how you will describe your tasks — what criteria will be acceptable? Include a section for requirements, have a section dedicated to discovering your setup because the tool has its limits. It helps you organize your work, but it doesn't replace the self-discipline of the developers to stick to some team conventions — that's also really helpful to get the full benefits of that tool.

One of the main advantages is that everything becomes visible when you use this tool. When your work is done in full daylight, it's difficult at the beginning because you feel like everybody's looking at what you do — it's all visible. They can access the information through JIRA, but at the same time, you're not going to get stuck too long in your corner. The drawback is that you feel more like you are being spied on. It feels like you're working in an aquarium. Everything you do is visible. But at the same time, you're not going to get stuck on your own. Without this tool, it's easy to get stuck on your own.

There's room for improvement. Sometimes the window is too crowded and the integration capabilities need to be improved. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Jira a rating of eight.

Then they look into the systems and realize what risks there are and are usually slow on the uptake to designate these systems as Class A or B critical systems. They may be surprised at how many individual systems have sprouted across their organizations. You can find yourself in an organization with multiple JIRA instances due to the grass roots nature of adoption, with dozens of workflows and hundreds of custom fields in each instance.

It can be a lot of work to pull these together under compliance and DevOps. Would be much easier to accept these tools as mission critical, or at least realize their importance, and grow them correctly.

Learn every module you use (a lot!) before jumping to other modules, like we did, with JIRA Testing and Atlassian Confluence, because the conversation between those modules can be troublesome if you don't know exactly what it wants.

The most frustrating part of implementing a new management system is "you don't know what you don't know", so it's easy to miss which questions to ask or requests to make. JIRA has a LOT of knobs and levers to pull and is many layers deep in it's setup. If you're not intimately familiar with its offerings, I highly suggest using a consultant or vendor to help step through the implementation. I also suggest being specific in needs and wants. We’ve found JIRA is flexible enough to adapt to our needs more often than we have to adapt to its offerings. View full review »

I would advise others wanting to purchase the solution that they can improve their business UX. This solution has been established in the market and is commonly used in many project management sectors because it can be easily used once you have experience. If you are new to this solution it could be confusing to some people because there is not a proper project flow. For example, Once you create a ticket or any task, you are not able to see what you just created in the notification area. Currently, you receive a pop-up and it will go off after some time, if you do not click the pop-up when it comes up you will have to refresh, go back to the project, and then find out the task from there. This could be simplified in the future.

They provide a product that is very good but in terms of a presentation, they have room to improve.

As an Enterprise customer, evaluate what you really need. If it's tech support above/beyond what comes with the subscription, go with the Enterprise tech support instead.

TAM is when you really need/want an advocate within Atlassian. For instance, our program and product management groups set up an on-site meeting with our TAM to discuss JIRA Portfolio, and they were able to ask questions of the Portfolio product manager as well as the TAM after a solid demo. Without a TAM in place, this type of thing would have been impossible short of sending everyone to the Atlassian Summit (User Conference) every year. That’s invaluable.

Another recent example is that we had a problem with a plug-in owned by Atlassian, but because we have our TAM in place he was able to get us in touch with the plugin developer directly and we've skipped weeks of struggle.

It's all about advocacy, insight into product roadmaps, best practices, etc.

Jira isn't what you would call a "coded solution" for scrum or anything like that, but it's able to do a lot of different things for people who are looking for that kind of thing.

The product is very scalable and it's very flexible to match any organization, however, the trick to using Jira effectively is that there should be a business process documented in place before using it straight. The mistake that many people do is they consider the tool as the base and they configure their processes according to this. If they work the other way around and have a great process between all cycles, and then implement that process on Jira, it's very beneficial.

Overall, I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

This software is ideal for tracking problems, managing, planning and carrying out real-time monitoring of the tasks or projects you want to develop in a much simpler way and in the shortest possible time. So I think that if you are looking for a solution that is based on more than the management, this is the indicated choice.

I'm coming from an Azure DevOps background, and we use the integration board. It is very easy because the source code is there under one umbrella; however, Jira is not under the Azure DevOps umbrella. If your company is using Azure DevOps or Git as a repository, I recommend using the Azure DevOps board rather than Jira.

I would rate Jira at seven on a scale from one to ten.

We are just customers and end-users.

As we are using the cloud version of the solution, we are always on the most up-to-date version.

For simple project management, Jira is too much. If you want to manage a project precisely, however, then I can recommend Jira. It's not only a software-specific version. There are different versions of Jira so that you can apply it to different areas - not just software. That is one good aspect. I'd say that it is very polished, and has a very well-defined approach to project management. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've mostly been happy with how it's worked for us.

We're just customers. We don't have any type of professional relationship with Jira. We aren't integrators or resellers.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. I'd rate it higher, however, if the solution wasn't quite so dense and complex. It would be helpful if there were training modules to help teams and users better utilize the full solution. As of right now, we've never really mastered the solution to its full capacity. I'm sure the solution has much more to offer, however, we have only really dug into some basic features. Our organization doesn't really emphasize the usage of the system.

I'd recommend those considering using the solution to really get some training before they begin and to maybe try doing some pilot projects to test its capabilities. Jira, as is my understanding, does offer a free trial, and new users would benefit from taking advantage of that.

JIRA is tool. As with any tool, it needs to be in the hands of the right person to be used effectively. The administrator and/or trainer in your company should be very competent with JIRA, as they will be leading the effort. JIRA is powerful, but what truly makes it a powerful tool is integration with other Atlassian packages and third-party software. JIRA should almost always be used in conjunction with Confluence. There are many integrations available such as GitHub and many other applications.

This tool has some good bug tracking, issue tracking and project management features. One of the best feature is its integration with other tools which I love, but at the same time, it has some limitations as well.

This is a great product, but I always say before jumping into using it, go through the user guide. Also, if possible, look for some tutorial videos to get the full use of its functionalities.

My advice to others thinking about implementing Jira is if you only want it for the standard flows and use it as an issue tracker in a software development setting, it is a good solution. We are using the online version. If you are in need of changing workflows or appearance, fields, screens, et cetera, Jira is not able to do this well or it's not possible at all.

Jira has found its place in our organization and it does those tasks. They should focus on speed and stability, and in that order. It's excellent with regards to preexisting integrations but it is poor at configurability.

Whether Jira is a good solution for you depends on your use case. From what I have seen creating different workflows in Jira is not good.

I rate Jira a five out of five.

I would guess we are using the latest version of the solution as we're using the cloud solution. I'm guessing that it's continuously updated automatically.

I'd advise others to consider the solution. However, It depends on what they're trying to achieve. There are a lot of easier project management tools like Monday.com, for instance. It's a lot easier to get up and running.

If your vision is to become a larger software development company, monday.com might be something that is usable for project managers. However, it wouldn't be a good tool, at least how I've seen it, to connect everything together as we're able to do in the JIRA cloud with all the connecting apps. I would guess we would be able to integrate Monday to JIRA or something like that.

It's really easy to get JIRA connected to Confluence and Bitbucket and to have the service desk as well. That way, everything is in one place. Again, it depends, on based on where you're heading. If the company is looking for easy project management, there's a lot of tools that would be just as good as the JIRA. If you're looking to distributing the teams and connecting a whole ecosystem, then definitely JIRA is a good pick.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

It is very capable, but also very complicated.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Jira a seven.

To be a ten, there should be more options where you just click and drag. That would be nice. It's hard to copy and paste requirements. You lose your formatting and everything. So just simple navigation stuff should be improved.

I rate it an eight out of 10. It's easy to use. People can become productive with this tool in a short time, and it is really the right solution for an Agile environment.

A lot of solutions show very well on paper. When you are selecting a solution, do a proof of concept in the environment.

I'm not the selector of the vendor, but from what I can tell, from what our IT selects, the vendor should be 

• available for global support, should be accessible in 24 hours, if there's a larger issue
• able to collaborate with large enterprises, which sometimes have different cultures, different languages
• able to integrate into the existing work environment - we have this tool, and that tool; the tool should fit into our tool landscape
• able to provide training.

I would rate JIRA a nine out of 10. It's not a 10 because it's inconsistent, sometimes, in how it acts and reacts, like my example with the Epics. But it's a high rating because it's user friendly, it's easy to use, you do not need much training on it. If you know how to work with Scrum, you can easily use it for your own work in a small team. For multiple teams, I'm not sure. I can't judge this because I haven't done this yet.

Jira is a bug and issue tracker primarily intended for software development. We use Jira internally to track all engagements within our team; as well as track bugs and issues for the web apps we develop. Jira is a very customizable product. It has a built in field builder that essentially lets you choose what fields you want to capture for your project. You can configure Jira’s custom fields at a system-wide, project specific and/or issue type level. Jira’s reporting component (or ‘filters’) make it easy to extract the information you want out of the system in several formats. Finally, Jira’s workflow features make it easy to define screens, based on business processes you might have. View full review »

While I'm new to the company, it's my understanding that it is a partner of Atlassian.

We use the latest version of the solution, as we use the cloud, which updates automatically.

Our company has both Azure DevOps and Jira. I use Jira, and Azure DevOps is used for other purposes. Most projects, all projects that are using Azure DevOps are legacy projects. The new projects and new solutions are using Jira.

On a scale from one to ten, I'd rate Jira at a ten. It's a very good product.

Both tools, Azure DevOps and Jira are at the same level. In terms of preference, I typically choose Azure DevOps for familiarity but not for features. For features, both are the same. For example, Jira has amazing features that Azure DevOps doesn't have, and also Azure DevOps has the flexibility that I like very much. Both tools have different interesting aspects. However, if Atlassian would implement traceability, I would prefer to use Atlassian. For me, it's more complete and allows for smaller teams than Azure DevOps.

We're just customers and end-users. We don't have a specific business relationship with Jira.

I'm not sure of which version of the solution we're using currently. It's my understanding that it is the latest version. I'm not sure if we are using the cloud or the on-premises deployment version.

Currently, I'm more focused on the Micro Focus product as opposed to Jira. That's more where my expertise is at the moment.

That said, it's pretty easy to use and I would recommend Jira to other organizations for that reason.

Overall, I would rate it at a seven out of ten.

Jira is one of the best bug tracking, issue tracking and project management tools available in the market. It can be easily integrated with various 3rd party plugins related to project management, source code control systems, code review systems etc. Jira user interface is not very good, but is pretty decent. It is primarily suitable for small and medium organizations View full review »

Having used JIRA for the last 2 years, I can definitely say that having this tool with you is a big plus when it comes to project management. Plugin architecture and support for the popular version controls systems like SVN, CVS, etc., which makes it even better. Although, there is still room for improvement in areas like user interface and the search functionality which doesn't support arbitrary AND/NOT/OR queries.
