How to read the Emotional Footprint
The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

Powerful but Complex: JIRA Excels at Project Track
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Jira from other similar products?
What really sets Jira apart for me is how customizable it is. You can pretty much tailor it to match your team’s exact workflow, which is great if you’re working on complex projects or in an agile environment. It supports Scrum and Kanban really well, and the reporting tools help track progress and identify blockers easily. Another thing I like is how well it integrates with other tools—especially if you're already using things like Confluence, Bitbucket, or Slack. There's also a huge marketplace for plugins if you need something extra.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite thing about Jira is how flexible and customizable it is. I really like that I can set up workflows, boards, and fields exactly the way my team works, instead of trying to fit into a one-size-fits-all process. It gives us a lot of control and makes tracking work feel much more organized and tailored to our needs.
What do you dislike most about this product?
What I dislike most about Jira is that it can be pretty overwhelming, especially for new users. The interface isn’t always intuitive, and there are so many features and settings that it’s easy to get lost if you’re not familiar with it. Setting things up the way you want can also take time and effort. Once it’s all configured, it works great—but getting there can be frustrating.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I’d recommend taking the time to really understand how your team works first—then set up your workflows and boards to match that. Don’t try to use everything at once; start simple and build up as you go. Also, be prepared for a bit of a learning curve, especially for new users. But if you’re managing complex projects or working in an agile environment, it’s definitely worth the investment. The flexibility and visibility it gives your team can make a big difference once it's properly set up.
