"The most valuable feature is the Scrum board."
"This solution fits very well into our agile product management environment."
"Jira's collaborative features, such as comments, notifications, and real-time updates, facilitate better communication."
"Some of the features that are most important to me of JIRA Agile are the sprint planning, being able to write user stories and being able to use task management."
"The initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Jira is the integration with all the different Atlassian tools. They all integrate very easily."

"The most valuable feature is project management."
"We have found the structure, functionality, and how Jira handles the tickets most valuable."
"I have found the most valuable features of Jira to be ticketing, life cycle workflow, definition, and creation. Many of the features are useful."
"The reports are not really customizable, which is something that they should improve on."
"The automation for scheduling software and doing software tests should be simplified because it's complex and too rigid."
"There is room for improvement in the high-level project management."
"I would like to see test execution modules."
"It's also difficult to migrate through, things don't always tie-up. It's not easy to use."
"Sometimes, it is slow and hangs. We faced some stability issues where JIRA was down for a day. Also, we have lost some of our comments made in the JIRA because of downtime."
"There is always a bit of a performance problem. It's a bit slow to load the whole data."
"JIRA still has their own backtracking tools. It should have a better visibility into HPE UFT. Most people use functional testing tools, like QTP. They need to improve their integration to make it seamless."
"There should be a way to look for specific comments. When we have thousands of comments on a Jira ticket, there is no way to look at the comments of a specific type. In the comments, if there is a way to put a tag, it would be helpful. For example, when there are a lot of lengthy discussions happening on a particular ticket, there could be a conclusion tag or something like that to indicate a conclusion. It would help in sorting the comments based on a certain category, such as conclusion."
"I do know the initial setup was pretty complicated. The user interface could be better organized and easier. "
"The history with Jira is that it is a bit complex for many users."
