"The ease of use is valuable."
"The solution helps a lot with scrums."

"This is a user friendly solution."
"The informatics is the most valuable feature. It captures what we need."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"I'd like the solution to be more secure."
"The only thing that JIRA doesn't for us is release management in a way that I can create a list of versions easily."
