We performed a comparison between AgileCraft and Jira based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Atlassian, Microsoft, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."The linking of PI Objectives with different features was one of the cool things. It had features, epics, and stories out of the box."
"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."
"It's really smart how they connected third-party vendors into their own marketplace. You can create and add apps. Anybody can do it."
"We can cope with processes easily without adapting the tool, but adapting the tool to processes."
"It handles all of the issues that we need it to do."
"We use it for capacity planning. We need to gauge and assess whatever is coming to our pipeline and then everything comes to the pipeline, appears as a pic, and then based on that, we create the story points and we take it from there."
"It improved communication, as it was a popular tool, and most people enjoyed using it."
"Its visual display and ease of use are most valuable."
"It should just have the integration with Jira. We haven't looked at it since Atlassian bought the product."
"Jira could be easier to use, especially for administrative tasks. It's quite complex, so it's important to understand it well. While the reporting and dashboards are good, there's room for improvement in some areas where extra features would be helpful."
"The Jira dashboards could be more useful. The dashboards have good widgets but the comparison of data over time or extraction of trends from the data is not easy."
"There could be some improvements in the project management and portfolio level features."
"It is not intuitive."
"There is a difficulty viewing all the attachments because they are shown in one place. I would like attachments to be shown at the comment level."
"Jira required a significant amount of system resources, particularly for larger organizations with extensive workflows and numerous projects."
"It is a bit harder for management or the business partners. I used to search the Atlassian Community online for some troubleshooting issues and I think there were some issues that seemed to not be a big problem for other similar applications, like Microsoft Teams, that were not considered by Jira."
"Stability is an area of concern and it needs improvement, otherwise, it's a good product."

Agree with Duane's comments for the most part. The two tools serve very different purposes. Where I disagree a bit is that Jira can be and is used by very large organizations to manage work. However Jira does not provide support for working across a set of related projects and services. This is what Agile Craft allows you do to - plus AC brings other capabilities like value stream management, a greater level of portfolio and business management, and management of delivery across a large set of programs.
It will definitely be interesting to see where Atlassian takes things.
