    Chose Atlassian Jira
    I have used other tools like Trello, FogBugz, Bugzilla, Backlog, etc.

    Overall JIRA comes across as a clear winner. Perhaps the only close competitor is Bugzilla since it is open source and has a lot of other features that have been built for it, even if by many different teams.

    Chose FogBugz
    FogBugz is made for the Developers who actually use it every day, while JIRA is made for the C-Suite who oversees them but has little idea of the finer points of daily dev tasks. In reality, most don't fit into the mold of JIRA tickets, and the summarized information that …

    Chose FogBugz
    I like Fogbugz a LOT because of the compressed list view. This was essential to me when my team and I were working on anywhere between 100 -1000 cases. I can't imagine having 1000 Jira tickets to manage the processes that we were managing. It's much easier to work with a …

    Chose FogBugz
    I like JIRA a lot better than Fogbugz for many reasons. If I had a choice, I'd use JIRA every time.

    Chose FogBugz
    Bugzilla is probably the closest to Fogbugz and is a bit more refined. Bugzilla however is very much geared towards programmers where FogBugz has a broader audience. Jira is much more invovled and also geared towards programmers. Workfront is a heavy system if you are looking …

    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.

    FogBugz has been a very useful tool to our organization, and much preferred over other options we reviewed, mainly JIRA. There are still some improvements needed, but with the fairly recent acquisition by DevFactory, we have a great deal of hope for what is in store given DevFactory's focus and transparency. It seems like both DevFactory and FogBugz customers are eager for substantial improvements on the front-end, but there is/was a great deal of backend housecleaning that definitely needed to take place first.

    Pros
    Atlassian
    • Integration of tools like Bitbucket, Github, etc., has made it easier to track the code changes, pull requests, and branches linked to the respective ticket.
    • 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.

    • Tasks, Subtasks, and notes. All three of these areas were critical for our team. Tasks in Fogbugz were a bit easier to see than in more bug based software like Trello or JIRA
    • The entire screen is used to view a task or case. Clicking on a task or case will open up and take up the entire screen, aside from the sidebar nav columns. I like to see details and I think Fogbugz does this very well, using up as much digital real estate as possible.
    • Flowcharting in Fogbugz with Creately is nice - instead of getting an exterior flowchart software like Lucidchart, Creately works right in Fogbugz.

    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)

    • The simplicity of a single admin type user is not great because anyone who can create a job or client in the system, can also add and delete users. Content and User administrative rights should be separated.
    • There are ways to change the terminology/lexicon within the tool, but we are not able to get it to work even after reaching out to tech support. So we are forced to use the system terminology that doesn't match up to our company making training a bit difficult.
    • There is a subscribe function that you can opt into, there should be a way to add subscribers as you create a new task.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Atlassian
    • For our marketing team, Jira Work Management caused us to lose valuable work time due to manual updates that could have been automated.
    • Due to lack of creative review tools within Jira Work Management, our team had to pursue other tools that do not integrate with Jira Work Management, thus creating additional OpEx.

    • Saves time by quickly allowing Developers to make the necessary notes without getting bogged down in bloated UIs
    • Has allowed us to look back easily and see the exact code changes made for the exact Case to aid in decisions for current changes, increasing the certainty of the decided path, without regression
