Jira

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

JIRA as an application provides end to end features to support project management. It helps users to manage the project by devising a plan from beginning to end, track issues/bugs and support seamless release of the project. Allows multiple users to work simultaneously on the project and comes with pre-defined segregation policies to define roles for each of the users involved with the project.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The favorite aspect of JIRA which I like the most is its ability to provide audit trail of every single update. I also like its cloning feature which helps in managing similar requests easily by cloning the previous JIRA raised. This not only saves time but also allows the users to have a link to the main JIRA with the cloning.

What do you dislike most about this product?

JIRA as a tool is a very efficient agile tool for product management however one of the features where the tool can improve even better is by incorporating some more filtering options made available to the users for downloading/extracting the report in a spreadsheet.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are rolling out a new project or trying to develop something internally then this is a very handy tool to implement. It's various features enable users to plan each step in detail while tracking the overall status and completion of the project.

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?

We all use this software as the main organizer of our company's projects and tasks. It keeps us on top of the tasks that have been assigned to us and sends us an alert both to the program on the web version, mobile and email. Workflow is easily created and it is very easy to assign each activity to each team member and leave comments on each activity.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The most recent update, with its mobile version, is one of jira's greatest achievements. I like that it is a very visual software, so I can easily see my progress on the project, how far ahead or behind I am with my tasks. Its reports are very complete, I get all the information I need, without the need to add anything else.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I find that the software is quite easy to use, although the updates modify and change the location of some tools, which makes me have to re-invest time in getting to know the new structure of the program. Being able to import to the platform some Excel documents has been impossible for me, so I have to add the information manually.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

We recommend this program 100% because it has helped us to focus more on the activities we perform, keep up with the assignments and get our projects executed without delays. This software is perfect for any type of company and no matter if your employees are remote or not.
