Overall Satisfaction with Jira Software
We are using it across our 20 person product/engineering team to manage our agile product backlog, defects, etc. We have also tried using it with other teams (marketing, support) as a more general product management tool (with varying degrees of success). It helps keep us organized, prioritize, plan iterations, etc.
- Extremely configurable
- Good backlog management
- Excellent ticket/issue structure
- Integrations
- The UI, though improved greatly over the years, is still often a bit cumbersome.
- Workflows (in classic Jira) are still painful to configure and use
- Backlog
- Kanban boards
- Epics
- It gets the job done, and is affordable.
Jira is the "default" do-everything software project management platform. It literally does everything, but consequently does nothing particularly well. That said, it is robust enough to compete with enterprise heavyweights like Rally, and (usually) easy and light enough to compete with things like monday.com.
The UI is still awkward and confusing at times.
