Incredible tool for ALM

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

Great for planning, tracking, and delivering projects on time. Helped us identify bottlenecks initially in the development process. I have been relying on Jira blindly to run smooth sprint planning and reviews.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

This has become my go-to tool for managing the project's lifecycle. I love how personalized the workflows are, and how I can precisely filter tasks by assignee, status, or sprint. Our QA team also uses Jira to track testing and defects proficiently.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The interface felt congested at first, but now I am getting used to its incredible features.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Bring out the best of Jira by utilizing its custom workflows and mapping them according to your team’s development process. It would take some of your time, but it's totally worth it.

An ALM Tool That Truly Supports Project Quality

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

Jira has completely transformed how I manage project quality. I can enforce process compliance without slowing anyone down. It's helped reduce bugs escaping to production. Audit trails are detailed and easy to generate. I finally have full visibility across the entire development lifecycle.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Jira makes it easy to ensure standards are met across teams. Defect tracking is no longer a chaotic spreadsheet mess. The Kanban boards give me a real-time view of task status.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There is no big issue. Automation is the sector that can be improved.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I highly recommend Jira if you manage quality across multiple projects.

Complete powerhouse for ALM

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

Automation rules, sandbox environment, roadmap tracking, built-in project templates, and what else. Jira has a great name in the ALM industry for its wonderful features and is still holding up with regular updates.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like using Jira for many reasons as it supports Agile methodology and multi-project management - best for me, provides automation rules - improving my productivity and reducing repetitive tasks, the Kanban board - helping me to visualize work in progress and identify anomalies, and more.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I cannot rely fully on its mobile app. It does provide automation rules, but those are limited to top-tier purchases.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Make sure to check in with your team size and also project complexity before making a purchase.
