"Being able to automatize the deployment of the solution has been great."
"Jira is easy to use and there are a lot of tools that are integrated with it."
"I liked the flexibility of the application. It was pretty user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is managing software development."
"Jira as a structure has Confluence for documentation, and for what it is offering it is a strong suit with Atlassian."
"JIRA's technical support is absolutely fantabulous. I had used it in the past when I was working at my previous organization. And when we wanted to link it with a framework, they helped us out with the API we were looking for."
"It handles all of the issues that we need it to do."
"It is easy to deploy in the cloud and other environments. It is also easy to view the reports of the sprint review or the sprint plan and the relation between the backlog and the repositories."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is task management."
"One of the main features is the user interface is very good."
"My first impression of DevOps, after using Jira, is that it has a much better, more intuitive, and more user-friendly interface."
"It is a cloud-based system. So, it is stable and scalable."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"It is a really easy way to define all of the features that you need to deliver. You can link those features to epics and break them down into user stories. You can also assign the user stories into sprints for doing your product improvement planning."
"DevOps is easy to use because we can arrange each task in a project and follow up with the testing, development, and business teams. We manage everything through this."
"Some of the valuable features are the functionality and the wide range of capabilities."
"ClickUp is a good alternative to Jira, so they have a better interface [GUI]. I don't like Jira's graphical interface - it could be more user-friendly. Jira looks old school."
"It lacks features to cover all testing aspects, so we often integrate it with other plugins or tools like X-ray."
"There's been the odd amount of JIRA downtime (not self hosted) and sometimes tickets that can't be accessed."
"The Classic UI is a little bit messy. UX experience is also a little bit messy and is not according to the expectation of a tech user."
"Jira can improve by making methodologies better, such as scrum and agile. Additionally, improvements in Kanban boards are needed."
"I find the dashboard to be Jira's most problematic feature."
"There could be some improvements in the project management and portfolio level features."
"The reports in Jira can be improved, especially for test reports. I find it difficult to customize and integrate for different testing purposes."
"I think that the integration is to some extent, immature."
"I would like to see better interoperability with the agile scaling frameworks."
"Some of the queries, the way they're built, need to be looked at. We need better query tools."
"The solution could work to improve their reporting."
"As for room for improvement, more features need to be added to the classic pipeline. The build and release pipelines are present, but there has not been much improvement there."
"There are certain features, and reporting that can only be used in PowerBI, but not directly in DevOps."
"When you compare with Jira, there is a lack of progress features."
"I would like to see a bit more project tracking."
