3. Easily integrated to confluence, github & other tools- we use confluence, github, ticket trackers that can easily be linked to Jira Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jira?

1. Easy for IT teams but may be not great for non technical users to find it more complex.

2. Most common issue that we face in our project is the control of some setups requiring admin expertise to manage- which makes it bit complex, time consuming for the projects to manage or customize themselves

3. Quite expensive for small scale usgae or companies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jira solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Visibility of project status, progress - mainly benefits team managers like us to stay updated, aligned without chasing for indivicual team members updates.

2. Track history of any kind of issue or topic, velocity & capacity of team.

What do you like best about Jira?

It is very organized and straight forward. It is also very secure, so it is great to use it. I have worked in 2 companies with Jira and I liked how easy it integrates with multiple platforms. I used it with intercom, and now I use it daily with Slack, and both are great!

I have had issues when my last company was adding me and the customer support team solved the issue in less than 48 hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jira?

At first sight the implementation might seem difficult since there are many boxes to fill and with not common names, as long as you keep using it, you can learn which fields are useful, required or needed depending on your request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jira solving and how is that benefiting you?

It keeps a clear communication mean with the engineers of the company and it helps engineers understand specific issues to solve them quicker rather than using any other platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Jira?

Jira has been an incredibly reliable tool for tracking features, enhancements, and defects across various projects—even those from several years ago. Its ability to maintain a detailed history of tickets and updates makes it easy to revisit past work and reference older implementations whenever needed. The interface is intuitive, and the defect and ticket management features are well-organized, making it an essential tool in my day-to-day IT work. Jira has significantly simplified project tracking and team collaboration, and I genuinely feel it has made many aspects of my IT life easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jira?

One small drawback I’ve noticed is that when copying the summary of a ticket along with its ID, the last character of the summary sometimes gets cut off when pasting. While not a major issue, it can be slightly frustrating when sharing ticket references in chats or documentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jira solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Helps me report defects I identify in my application quickly and efficiently.

2. Allows me to create tickets for my daily work, making it easier to plan and evaluate efforts during each Sprint.

3. Improves Sprint planning by giving better visibility into assigned tasks and workloads.

4. Enables easy tracking of all code changes through integration with our Git repository, as we associate commits with specific Jira tickets.

5.Enhances traceability and accountability by linking development work directly to the corresponding tasks or issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Jira?

Jira's project management tools are amazing. Their entire UI is very easy to use and visually appealing. They support both, Kanban and SCRUM boards which is a big win as some projects require one while others require the other. It's very easy to setup and implement into your workflow. What's even better is the easy integration with other Atlassian services like Confluence! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jira?

Even though the UI is simplistic, it just offers too much functionality which might be overwhelming for first time users. This means that we have to take time to explain to the new hires on how everything works. It would be better if they had a minimalistic UI depending on our use-case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jira solving and how is that benefiting you?

Project management is very vital for us. We use Jira boards to do the same. We initially list down tasks and divide them into different categories. Then we can delegate the tasks to the respective personnel who can update them based on their progress. This gives us a general insight on the current state of the project. And if we do encounter any bugs when testing, we can also log them in Jira so that the respective personnel can fix it as soon as possible.

We also create multiple boards for the different projects and give different people different roles depending on the project's team setup. This is amazing as each board can have a different team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Jira?

Jira is a solid choice, especially for dev teams. It’s super flexible and can match any workflow, plus it plays well with other tools like Confluence, Slack, and Bitbucket. The built-in agile features, like burndown charts and sprint tracking, really help teams stay on track and improve over time. It's definitely a game-changer for keeping everything organized and efficient! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jira?

Jira’s got tons of features, but it can be a bit overwhelming at first. The interface isn't always the most intuitive, so there’s a bit of a learning curve. If you’re trying to customize workflows or manage permissions without an admin on hand, it can get tricky. And for big projects with a lot of customizations, it can slow down a bit, which definitely isn’t ideal when you need things to run smoothly and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jira solving and how is that benefiting you?

Jira’s really become the backbone of our workflow, keeping everything organized from start to finish. Whether it’s sprint management, bug tracking, or task prioritization, having everything in one place makes things so much easier. The best part? It keeps everything transparent across teams—everyone knows what’s happening, what’s blocking progress, and what’s coming up. It’s especially useful for sprint planning and retrospectives, giving us the insights we need to keep improving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Jira?

What I like most is that you can see everything in one place. Creating tasks, tracking them, and figuring out who’s responsible for what is super easy. The Kanban and sprint boards are especially great—everything is so visual. And those automated workflows? They save a ton of time. Overall, it’s a very powerful tool with so many features.In addition, I would like to note that the G2 platform, which I mentioned in my previous review, Qase io is integrated into the Jira platform and this plays a very important role in our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jira?

The main issue is that it’s too complex. At first, there are so many features that it’s overwhelming. You spend a lot of time just trying to figure things out. Also, the speed can be frustrating—pages take forever to load sometimes. And let’s not even talk about some integrations or setups; without IT support, it’s hard to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jira solving and how is that benefiting you?

We work on complex government projects, and without Jira, keeping track of all the moving pieces would be a nightmare. It helps us organize tasks, track progress, and make sure deadlines aren’t missed. For example, we can easily assign tasks to team members and monitor their status on the board. It’s also great for managing bugs—everything is documented properly, so nothing slips through the cracks. Overall, it’s made our team more efficient and reduced the chaos in managing large-scale projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love the ease of use, ability to adjust the layout of your dashboard, each individual can have their own dashboard, reporting is a breeze, most importantly, it is a breeze to keep up with where you are and what you are doing and to keep track of your tickets if you have to send them to another department as you can make comments back and forth directly on the ticket and each comment triggers and email so you will never miss a reply.

A slight learning curve at the very beginning but after you have your dashboard set up the way you want it, I have no dislikes about the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
