Considered Both Products
Atlassian Jira
Chose Atlassian Jira
As mentioned before, JIRA is a very big tool which also is the reason why we're using it for complex tasks in our company. Other project management tools are often easier to use and have a nicer UI but they simply don't offer the same amount of settings and features.

Chose Planview ProjectPlace
Notion is an open book that allows you to create whatever you want... nice but having some bumpers makes creating and implementing a solution a bit easier. ProjectPlace is simple to get started and use. You might miss out on a cool feature or two, but I think the lack of a …
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
Most of these others don't have many of the features that are available in Planview Projectplace. The agile methodology is in a true sense covered by Planview Projectplace, not by Asana nor Wrike. In Confluence, one has to link up with Jira for full functionality, but in …
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
[In my experience] Jira is more refined, better looking, and easier to become familiar with. Also, the massive market share of Jira helps in consultancy as you can switch between clients easily. Projectplace has many powerful tools but so does Jira, and Jira integrates with our …
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
While I am familiar with a lot of other tools available in the market, my recent experience with Planview Projectplace tools was very positive.
Gantt charts and reports are the best features of the tools, as they help you present your work in a more engaging way. It performs …
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
Planview Projectplace gives Jira a very tough competition in terms of its very powerful Kanban feature set. Its tracking individual tasks and workload in one single view is also one up on Jira.
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
We selected Planview Projectplace since while Jira is great for Agile software teams, often there was a barrier to entry for project and program managers who were more interested in higher level task tracking around deliverables, etc. Planview Projectplace had enough features …
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
Planview Projectplace and these other project management tools stack up in an honestly very similar way, most offer a similar suite of tools and helpful ways to track and plan all your projects and tasks. I think that Planview Projectplace ultimately has most of the great …
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
Planview has many features for managing and prioritizing projects, cost effective solution and easy to implement. Manage and execute all types of work, efficiently and effectively leverage resources and technology.
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
JIRA was meant for software development, as I said before. It isn't very good for copywriters and designers. I would never work at an organization that used JIRA for copywriting work unless they paid me a lot of money to deal with that frustration. ProjectPlace is great.
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
To me, ProjectPlace is the winner above and beyond all of these. Similar or less expensive, and far more practical functionality. Rather than try to be all things to all people, it focuses on basic functions that apply to most businesses. Beyond Asana, JIRA, and Trello (which …
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
The visuals and functionality of Projectplace, version control and document storage capabilities are the best compared to the tools I have used above
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
We stopped using JIRA because it was not possible to handle multiple projects interacting together and because the cloud edition was too slow.

Projectplace is faster, but we still encounter difficulties with handling multiple projects interacting together.
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
Projectplace enables all the users in one single tool to have access to many features: planning of projects, the definition of To Dos, sharing of documents, the creation of documents, communication with project stakeholders whether it be internal or external, have a global …
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
Project place does not replace any of the listed products except for MS Project. We like project place for schedule alignment, easy project switching, and time tracking. The other programs are still used for issue tracking, investigations, documentation, and reporting of …
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
Projectplace works the best for our kind of work because it's not too complicated to ensure a fast project management but it's also not too stripped down so we still can add all the details and files we need.
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
I wasn't the decision maker.
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
  • ASANA - It's very limited since we can't illustrate GANTT charts in the same way as with Projectplace.
  • JIRA - Software heavy and not really for us as a customer-focused project department.
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
Our organization has mainly used task management tools such as CA service desk, Jira software or Gantt based project management tools such as Microsoft project. However we have chosen Projectplace for the management of European R&D projects for its repository and its …
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
It is a full and finished software product. Atlassian can be a complete solution after choosing what exactly what extensions you need. That is a lot of work.
If you just want a complete system, you can use projectplace; it satisfies our wishes perfectly.
In the end, all of the …
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
Projectplace was more usable and knitted together from the outset than as with Wrike or having to customize a lot of features and workflows as with JIRA.
Chose Planview ProjectPlace
Projectplace is oriented to foster communication within the projects which is a key (if not the most important) feature of a PPM tool.

Jira facilitates software development, bug tracking, and sprints. It's ideal for structured workflows, issue management, and customer communication. However, more straightforward tools might be more efficient for highly creative, unstructured tasks or tiny, agile teams with quick visual overviews. Jira's complexity can be overkill for basic task lists.

Pros
Atlassian

  • The detailed tracking system in JIRA has helped the teams prioritize and understand the project tasks and issues.
  • JIRA's project tracking board helps you keep track of the project, its flow, and expectations in a structured format.

  • Navigation: Users can use the tool's search functionality to find what they are looking for easily. The home page is configurable to the users' needs.
  • The knowledge center is a key function to understand the tool capabilities.

Cons
Atlassian
  • The interface is not intuitive to learn for new users
  • JQL is similarly challenging for newbies
  • It's possible to accidentally move issues from one sprint to another without realizing your mistake
  • Certain issue attributes aren't available in certain view (e.g. story points from the epic overview)

  • Under the time tracking, it would be nice to have a set template that would load each week and not have to click a button to load the previous week's template.
  • Somehow making it more intuitive.
  • Having to add in each service line and each detail that I cover for every service line each week is a bit ridiculous.

This is because Jira Software generates a huge profit for an affordable price. Having a tool that makes team management transparent and effective is very valuable.
In addition, the renewal of Jira Software and all Atlassian tools is predictable and clear, as the prices are published on the Atlassian website and there is no pyramid of intermediaries.

We're committed now & have >50 users on Projectplace. All our projects are now tracked in the tool. We this investment of time & training, the cost of maintaining Projectplace is relatively low for the benefit. So we will renew, even if there are some idiosyncrasies in the tool & there are opportunities for improvement.

Usability
Atlassian
The interface is simple and easy to use if you have some experience with it. Configuration is also logical most of the time. However, less experienced users tend to find themselves lost in some tasks - usually complex project configuration- but sometimes simple things, such as seeing why a user can't move issues in a workflow. Jira configuration requires a good amount of experience - and even experienced users often resort to documentation. It's a tool that's easy to use if you know what you're doing and where to find the proper documentation, but novice users tend to find it challenging.

I have not had a chance to contact JIRA's customer support. It does offer extensive documentation, although it often feels too technical for me. There is also a JIRA training app that lets you take little lessons and quizzes on different areas (e.g., JIRA basics, agile). I did find it a helpful way to teach myself.

I haven't needed to get in touch with support because the product is quite well structured and understandable. There were no issues initially when making payments or later for monthly payments. The project manager using the software is quite skilled in the software and has not needed much help. New licenses are easy to acquire, and there is no delay in getting them. I know there are several ways of support available, so that's a plus.

One of their strong points i stheir documentation. Almost all of the basic set up needed within JIRA is available online through atlassian and its easy to find and very precise. The more critical issues need to be addressed as well and hence the rating of 8 instead of a 9.

Take your time implementing Jira. Make sure you understand how you want to handle your projects and workflows. Investing more time in the implementation can pay off in a long run. It basically took us 5 days to define and implement correctly, but that meant smooth sailing later on.

monday.com cannot be integrated with CI/CD tools, whereas Atlassian Jira integrates with CI/CD tools seamlessly. Atlassian Jira has strong Agile and Scrum support. Coming to monday.com, it has basic agile functionality. But Atlassian Jira has a complex UI, and monday.com has an intuitive, drag-and-drop interface. Overall, Atlassian Jira provides features like Agile project management, DevOps integration, and customizable workflows.
