Overall Satisfaction with Atlassian Jira Align (formerly AgileCraft)

It is used across all SDLC-related projects to track the activities and progress of the projects. It is used as a database of all the work we have done in the past, fixes made. It is used as a goal check and a planner that gives a pretty good estimate revolving around releases per sprint.

Pros

  • Notifications
  • Tagging users
  • Category of activity

Cons

  • Attachment size
  • Hidden features
  • Sensitive to mistyped keys
  • Project planning is easier.
  • Tracking of project progress is no more a headache.
  • Assigning tasks and measuring load on any team member is fast.
  • Dashboard gives all the details for a sprint and next releases in one place.
  • Productivity as a whole is multiplied.
I think there is nothing like this out there. The point is nobody can have a second thought about it and it will be the first choice of anybody for the quantum of things it has to offer and as a whole what it brings to the table. Acts as a solid database of things done in the past.

For any starters, the ease of access at a basic level is pretty adaptable, the tasks can be easily tracked for their progress and tagging users is really easy. Sprint planning becomes a piece of cake and adding/removing tasks is really easy too. Rightly replicates the Agile SDLC. The search engine is pretty fast and gives all related Jiras to the searched keyword.

There is nothing that can be better than Jira but it needs to keep improving certain areas especially the attachment size area.
