We performed a comparison between JIRA Portfolio and Microsoft Azure DevOps based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 valuable features of the JIRA Portfolio are the customization it provides which is very useful and the Agile project management capability."
"Has good analysis integration capabilities."
"The product's centralized database creates a single source of data for working groups so no data needs to be reconciled."
"Its stability is very reliable."
"The solution is very stable."
"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 solution is very powerful and the underlying structure of it is well done. The company behind the solution is very open as far as their whole ecosystem is concerned. They also do a lot of work in the training area."
"The way to manage cards as a KANBAN, is really easy but when you need to track hundreds of projects, you need to be very clear in which way the things must be completed."
"The creation of test plans is valuable and I like the reporting features."
"The most valuable feature is that it's fully integrated, where we have a single place to do everything that we need."
"They have been lately adding features to the services on a regular basis. Every two weeks, they are adding functionality to Azure DevOps Services to match it with what Azure DevOps Server or on-prem would offer. So, we continue to get more robust functionality. My favorite right now is that they are starting to open up the API availability within Azure DevOps Services. Another thing that I like about Azure DevOps is that you can use it with any of the products that are on the market. You can integrate it with Jenkins and other open-source products to complete that fully functional CI, CD, CT, CM, and CS pipeline. It continues to enhance."
"Valuable features for project management and tracking in Azure DevOps include a portal displaying test results, check-in/check-out activity, and developer/tester productivity."
"Azure Pipeline and Azure Release are most valuable. I use Azure DevOps through pipeline and release."
"You can have test cases in DevOps but not in JIRA. And, DevOps has advantages in terms of executing those test cases."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use and performance."
"The tool's most efficient feature is the integration of its services in one place. It is an easy-to-use product that improves productivity. Microsoft Azure DevOps is also user-friendly. Its documentation is clear and can be found on Google."
"JIRA Portfolio's configuration management could be improved."
"We are based in India; I would like the product to integrate local pricing. We earn in rupees but spend in dollars. Its pricing could also be lowered."
"When I want to embed Jira Portfolio in a complete HLI cycle, I'm missing things to evaluate my ethic into my value stream."
"Jira has room for improvement in terms of managing various projects and linking requirements centrally under one project. They could include some add-ons that enable you to link all the requirements and put them into a centralized place. That central place should be restricted to a limited set of users with privileges based on user groups with those rights."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"The solution's look and feel could be a bit more intuitive and user friendly."
"It would be really nice if the solution provided a heads-up every time they enhance something or add new features."
"There should be an integration of efforts between the cloud service providers' side and JIRA Portfolio."
"Some things like project management, tasks, progress, and having work progress views require us to use some external tools, or to create our own internal tools. These are not native to DevOps. It would be ideal if, instead of searching for third-party solutions, they had these feature sets or capabilities included under DevOps."
"The active directory password system needs some improvement because many times the password for the active directory expires before the set time."
"I have not been able to use the integration with automation features, such as test management automation, with a framework that is written in Java."
"Its price can also be reduced. It would be great if they are a little bit more competitive in terms of pricing because many open-source products are currently available in the market."
"Its UI can be easier and more customer-friendly. The UI can be improved from the project management and agile perspective."
"Its setup is quite complex."
"One thing I would note is that it's hard to know what is included or not in the product. Especially when you begin to try and compare it to other solutions. When you go to a site like VersionOne, they tell you Azure DevOps doesn't have this or that, and when you go to Microsoft, it says VersionOne doesn't have this or that. They could do a better job of laying out exactly what is on offer so customers know going in exactly what they'll get."
"I think Azure DevOps could improve the traceability or business intelligence about the execution of DevOps processes."
