I have a 'love and hate' relationship with Jira. At the same time you can't find any other complete tool such as Jira, its lack of capabilities makes me nervous. So basically they try to compensate it with 3rd party apps which you have to pay for.
I have been using Jira for my project management and collaboration for quite some time now, and I must say that it has improved a lot in recent years. The overall experience has been good, and it has helped me in streamlining my work and managing tasks effectively. However, I believe that the interface could be made more visual and show context-based information to make it even more user-friendly. Overall, Jira has been a reliable tool for managing projects and collaborating with team members.
Jira is one of those tools you kinda love and hate at the same time — and I mean that in the best possible way. It does what it promises: keeps issues tracked, workflows organized, and the team (mostly) in sync. Once it's set up right, it's solid. Powerful, flexible, and surprisingly good for managing even weird non-dev tasks if you customize it enough. But — and here’s the “not-quite-5-stars” part — the UI still feels clunky at times. Too many clicks to do simple things. The performance can lag when you’ve got tons of tickets or complex filters. And don’t get me started on trying to onboard new team members without them staring at the screen like it's a spaceship dashboard. That said, when it works (which is most of the time), it really works. The automation rules, integration options, custom fields, all of it makes sense once you’re deep in the ecosystem. So yeah — 4/5. Not perfect, but still the best in its category. Just be ready to wrestle with it a bit before it bends to your will.
A short story. I had my entire side projects road-mapped and planned. Had a good chunk of internal documentation, server configurations, dotfiles, and scripts, all in well-organised Confluence spaces. Took a few months break. Atlassian sent a few emails about inactivity, which landed in my spam folder. Missed it. They deleted all my work. Never again in my life, will I use JIRA for my personal projects.
I appreciate Jira and enjoy using it overall. However, there are a few elements that can be confusing, such as the title and summary of an epic which can be easily mixed up. The versioning of user stories is another aspect that can be quite complicated. It's challenging to revert to a previous version. It remains an indispensable tool for the organization of our tech team.
Great tool for bugs tracking, stories, epics tracking, test cases tracking, reports creation.
I have been using JIRA a lot and cant imagine a day at work without JIRA
Agile project management and bug tracking with easy-to-create dashboards and reporting.
I’ve been using Jira for project management for a while now, and it’s become an essential tool for tracking progress and collaborating with my team. The level of customization it offers for workflows is a huge plus, and it integrates seamlessly with other tools. While it can be a bit overwhelming at first, once you get the hang of it, it’s powerful for managing complex projects.
