"There is a lot of complexity involved, meaning it can do many things, which can be quite useful."
"You can track the metrics in the Agile dashboard very easily."
"The solution easily replaces IBM DOORS, which no longer offers maintenance in China."
"What I find valuable about Jira is that it's an ecosystem. Sometimes, it does not provide the best in class solutions, but it's so well integrated. You will not have many problems with integration."
"The solution is very scalable and flexible."
"All departments can work with the same platform."
"It also works well with all the integrated tools that you buy."
"With the help of Jira, tasks are less likely to remain stagnant for a long time. We always see them somewhere on the board."
"The burndown chart is also helpful when it comes to reporting and allows us to know where we are going, especially during development."
"It helps me to use virtual Scrum boards across four locations, three time zones, and to plan my work. It fully supports the Scrum approach, and the Agile way of working, and it has Agile thinking behind it.."
"The solution offers a lot of plugins."
"Usability needs to be improved."
"It's still a fairly new tool that lacks maturity right now."
"It would be helpful if Codebeamer's overall processing and integration with software like Jira could be improved."
"The search and replace feature within the tool itself could be improved."

"Out-of-the-box reporting is limited. It would be helpful if more customisation was possible."
"Integration with some of the automation tools could be improved."
"It would be good if we can grant access based on the roles. This is something that Jira can look into. Currently, anyone with Jira access can access everything. Being able to define access based on the roles will give us more flexibility in managing Jira. I would like to have more reports in Jira. Currently, eight or nine reports are there. You can use Screen Test to get more reports or data from Jira, but you will have to get more add-ons, plug-ins, and stuff like that. It would be good if they can increase the number of reports."
"I would like to see it connecting to Git. That could be useful. We use it for Stash, but I think there is one for Git also. I don't know if it's a plug-in that exists already, but that could be nice."
"There is always a bit of a performance problem. It's a bit slow to load the whole data."
"The performance and stability are visibly degrading since the database has been growing every year."
"They could improve the solution by having a multiple project dashboard to be able to manage many projects KPI's at once, this would really be helpful."
"There needs to be more integration and connectivity."
