Overall Satisfaction with JIRA Software

I used JIRA Software for a client organization in 2015 to manage various tasks across projects. It's useful in managing git commits and keeping everyone in the loop as far as what needs to be done in each project. Various users can review and/or add their comments and look at the branches to ensure the work is getting done. It also allows for time-tracking on the different tasks and estimating time as well.
  • Time tracking
  • Project/task setup
  • Git integration
  • Confusing interface. They need to clean up the interface a bit.
  • Ability to get projects finished faster
  • Costs a lot of money
Teamwork might be the closest competitor as it also allows git integration through a plugin. JIRA allows for a streamlined interface, focusing just on projects, whereas Teamwork has other features regarding a more user-friendly interface.

JIRA is great for a fast-paced team, as the updates go out immediately to everyone and [you can] expect responses quickly. It also offers a lot of features that may not be necessary for smaller teams.
