"I enjoy the Risks/Issues section.I use that to raise things before they happen."
"It is easier to use than most other products that are out there."
"For a very long time, Broadcom Clarity had not developed the old interface that Broadcom no and we were not able to see any new features on the system because of the older UEX. We switched to the new UX at the end of March and it needs some time for the user to react to the new features. But if overall main features are being talked about, the financial part of Clarity is really appreciated."
"We also have integration with CA Agile Central. So we get all the project-related data and the user stories-related data into it and we report on to that: How much funding is there, and how much are the actuals between these two tools?"
"The interfaces for project management, portfolio management, and reporting services are always helpful."
"Being able to track all of the projects with all of the details of those projects, and being able to move projects along from a process perspective, that is really beneficial."
"Transparency and just having the ability to procure information that is pertinent."
"The customized workflows we can define are very valuable. JIRA's private projects is very useful as well. There are also a lot of plugins that they provide."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable feature of the JIRA Portfolio is for managing teams of 10 or more. It can track the program level and portfolio. There are plenty of beneficial features, such as the hierarchy-level view, customization, and structure plugin."
"The product makes it easy to collaborate even though it can use some improvement in that area."
"Its stability is very reliable."
"The product's integration capabilities work pretty well, especially considering that more tools are always needed in enterprise-sized businesses."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Portfolio's best feature is integration with other JIRA products."
"I would like to see more team-based management, and less people-based management; as far as the resource management goes, to do it per team and not per person."
"Needs Gantt to MS Project link."
"Look and feel of the user experience."
"In the future, I would like to see integrated Agile features and better integration with Agile tools."
"I would like to be able to do time submission and time approvals on mobile rather than have to go in the system."
"I think there's still a little bit of opportunity that we can do some stuff better in relation to the financial part of it; just that easier integration, that look and feel. Our project managers, and obviously finance people, love to interface and use of Excel. The more we can get CA PPM to behave in a similar way, which we're already starting to gain in that path, will be absolutely fantastic."
"I am going to be maintaining both new UX screens, which the blueprints make look like it is going to be really easy, but we would still have to be maintaining new UX screens as well as classic views for those functionalities that are not yet available in the new UX."
"We use a product called TFS and we would definitely like to see integration with that. It's not there right now. Agile Central is the one that is integrated with."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"We had to use assistance for the initial setup."
"The kanban board could also use some more filters. We just had a project where the deployment for Jira didn't have any ETA, and it's a requirement for the client. We accommodate a lot of issues on the board, so the workaround was to create boards by project, not client."
"If you want to generate a report for individual usage, it's difficult."
"The solution's look and feel could be a bit more intuitive and user friendly."
"Our major team does not control or manage JIRA server well since sometimes there is trouble using the solution, which is a problem. The solution's speed needs to be improved."
"Converting a task into an epic is very troublesome."
"The workflow needs improvement."
