Evaluation of JIRA based on 2+ years experience
What do you like best about the product?
Best things and features i like in JIRA are:
- Ability to create and save JQL filters, and JQL filters in general - it is a powerful tool that allows to filter user stories easily. It has a smart autocomplete feature, so it is easy to use.
- Ability to use those JQL filters on Agile Board, bind them to Quick Filters buttons.
- Bulk change engine, which is handful sometimes.
- Variety of plugins available.
Basically, System in general is very well composed and user friendly.

What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately, there are some items that i dislike in JIRA, which caused my overall grade to be lower:
- Agile board doesn't have an ability to move multiple tickets to the next column at once. Drag-n-drop simply doesn't work there for more than one ticket.
- Agile board scrolls somewhere to the middle of the window if there are a lot of tickets in one column. When i move ticket to that column - view scrolls automatically scrolls to the middle of those tickets or something, so i need to scroll back up to move next ticket to that column.
- a bit hard to understand how to use workflow schemas. Especially if you have migrated from server JIRA to the Cloud one. A lot of stuff from older version of JIRA was migrated to the new one. It takes a lot of time to configure it.
- admin area in general is a bit hard to navigate and customise - it could be simpler.
Basically, not a huge factor to not use this product, but still influencing the overall feel of it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On our company we are using JIRA Project Management with Agile. We have migrated to the cloud version of it cause this product was the one we wanted to go with. It is useful, powerful and user friendly Bug Tracking system if to compare to others. Yes it costs more, but it also provides more.

Useful program for organization of tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I like the organization of tasks for me a user. I primary find myself to find out what my next task as an artist is or what current bugs are on art tasks. I like that you can also paste screenshots directly in and then name them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel like sometime there are alot of extra menus that can be hidden or tucked away per what user is using the program for what. When there are too many buttons sometime it can be easy to get lost in the design and UI.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool for organzation but not always visually friendly.
Totally customizable issue tracking tool leads the market for a reason
What do you like best about the product?
JIRA is built by developers for developers. It is actively being improved and is the flagship product for Atlassian. That means constant improvement in performance, features, and usability. Lots of third-party support and training is also available.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's expensive and licensing is not very flexible. Once you go above a usage threshold, you need to pay up for the next tier, rather than pay on a per-user basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed an issue tracker that would support multiple teams with different Agile processes (kanban and scrum) and customizable to our own workflow.
Great tool to augment your agile practice.
What do you like best about the product?
It facilitates working with Scrum and Kanban boards.
Visibility of day to day tasks is great and quite helpful.
Organizing the backlog is easy and again visibility is a plus here.
The level of customization is high, many cool things can be done.
Customs quick filters are cool (if you know how to use them).

What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve can be steep.
The UI is not fantastic, (lots of issues with dropdowns when editing issues)
JQL, is easy to learn for technical folks, but not as much for non technical team members and can bee intimidating.
Board shortcuts (editing a story (E), assigning an issue (A), creating and issue (C), are not easy to learn and often, you discover them by accident.
There is not a friendly or helpful help section.
Customizing, and managing permissions is annoyng and cumbersome.
Editing flows is hard.
The gap between being a light (not so productive) user and a power user is big.
There are no useful examples of how to use sprint reports to gather valuable insights.
Reports are not very useful. It would be nice to see more stuff like burn-up charts.
Agile Risk management tools and reports would be great!
A easy to share/visualize sprint report card with valuable data (percentage of completion, average velocity of the past 4 - 5 sprints)

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it if agile is your jam and are looking for a tool to increase visibility and manage your teams workflow and increase their focus.
Research, research how others are using it, because it is easy to start using it "wrong" or without all the cool and powerful things it can do for you.

A tool to help in Project Management and Bug Tracking
What do you like best about the product?
What I like is it's user-friendly user interface that is easily understandable. It maintains records of the bugs / issues open in the elegant manner and reduces work of project manager.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing specific but the slow responsive user interface.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I will suggest that one should check out JIRA and see what are features that are provided by JIRA use to them. It is the perfect blend of many features and a packet full of surprises.
Great tool to track enhancements and issues
What do you like best about the product?
I use Tacton and this is what they use to collect enhancements and issues. It's great to see who is assigned from their team. Notifications are sent to my email when ticket progresses or if they need additional info. You can also browse past submitted items.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I feel like I'm wandering around in a circle before I get to the screen I'm looking for. This may be because I just submit items. So I am probably a limited user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great tool to have the issues / enhancements I report tracked and documented.
Easy reporting, easy bugs tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Tasks management, Bugs reports, Development progress tracking, and I also use it as scrum meeting.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sorry, I don't find anything that I don't like since I start using the tool, it has been more than 5 years already.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business: Developing Mobile Application, Websites
Benefits: Delegate tasks to developers & tester, find it very easy to track down all the bug reports and tasks reports

Happy JIRA user
What do you like best about the product?
Configurability - it's a custom tool for your team. Does everything you could ever want.
What do you dislike about the product?
Configurability - complicated set up. So many features - can be hard to discover.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking who's doing what. Understanding what we're working on right now.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you know how to set it up. Not an "out of the box" solution.
