"This solution fits very well into our agile product management environment."
"The informatics is the most valuable feature. It captures what we need."
"It's easy to understand, and easy to navigate."
"It includes by default all the necessary tools for a project manager to work and make their work more efficient."
"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."
"We use it for capacity planning. We need to gauge and assess whatever is coming to our pipeline and then everything comes to the pipeline, appears as a pic, and then based on that, we create the story points and we take it from there."
"The customization and tailoring of the workflows have proven to be very useful."
"Being able to automatize the deployment of the solution has been great."
"Great for tracking my development team's productivity."
"The reports are not really customizable, which is something that they should improve on."
"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."
"I don't know if it's the way it's deployed in the organization, but the interface we are provided is not as customizable as other tools. The multi-language report is not enabled in our installation. I don't really know if it's something related to the tool or our installation."
"There's been the odd amount of JIRA downtime (not self hosted) and sometimes tickets that can't be accessed."
"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."
"The user interface and views on different devices should be improved."
"In general, although we use JIRA, we never really learned how to use it properly. The learning curve of the solution is high. It has a lot of power, and yet we don't understand its capabilities."
"Whenever you edit a story, whatever you have changed takes a bit of time to save."
"The dashboard reports can be improved. Its dashboard reports are good, but you cannot have complex reports. They are currently very basic. For instance, we can only choose two columns for a dashboard, so it is not friendly enough."
"From the project management perspective, I would say there are a lot of different issues that could be tweaked. There can be small improvements with traceability, for example."
