Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Agile Planning Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features in Jira Align are the dashboard and the reporting feature."
"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."
"What I like about Jira is that I can easily keep tabs on the status of different issues and what the team is working on."
"The most valuable features are the ability to customize the entries and to update them quickly. Since the new version they released, we started utilizing the customization features to create specific codes and symbols for our teams that were not available before. For example, in team A each person had their own symbols and we had our own demarcation. When our project or task was completed, we had a code that we could enter online that let the main project managers know that it was time to remove it."
"I found Confluence most valuable."
"I like the way the UI functions."
"Defect tracking and dashboards are the most valuable features of Jira Align."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"Jira's Structure, agile, and Kanban boards are helpful. I also like JQuery, which allows you to fetch the relevant set of data. We use JQuery, JQL, and the Structure board a lot. Kanban boards help us monitor daily tasks, and we review the progress using the burndown charts."
"The workflows are the most valuable feature of the solution, whether for tasks, bugs, or chain requests from the site. I also like the solution's GUI, which is easy to navigate for everyone."
"The product makes it easy to collaborate even though it can use some improvement in that area."
"The solution has good reporting and is very user-friendly."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The integration is very good. We've more or less integrated with everything including reporting and registering."
"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."
"Portfolio's most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and customer-centric."
"Jira Align fails to provide its users with a complete package in terms of portfolio management."
"The framework could be better."
"The tool must provide better bulk editing features."
"The solution needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to provide an integrated view of how other tasks are to be tracked. It would be also useful to see the integration of Confluence, Teams, and Slack into the product. I want to be able to communicate directly with others while using the product. I am also not sure if the integration of third-party alternate workflow tools like SAP would be possible."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"One feature that needs improvement is the tool's ability to change schedules automatically. Users can't simply drag and drop tasks to reschedule them without notifying the entire team. This lack of functionality can hinder project management control, as changes should be communicated transparently to all team members."
"I would like to see Jira Align merge and integrate better with Jira as a whole. A lot of the time, the data from Jira won't map very well into Jira Align."
"Maybe some of the terms and the connectivity could be improved."
"There should be an integration of efforts between the cloud service providers' side and JIRA Portfolio."
"It's got kind of a steep learning curve."
"I think the solution can improve in graphs and the analysis part."
"The solution's look and feel could be a bit more intuitive and user friendly."
"We had to use assistance for the initial setup."
"If you want to generate a report for individual usage, it's difficult."
"The workflow needs improvement."
"The interface JIRA Portfolio could improve."
