Open DevOps – Bewertungsseite 3

Vorteile

This is the best product on the IT market because it has a user-friendly interface and the best technical documentation then I have seen before.

Nachteile

I haven't found any critical issues with Jira. It's so stable software. If you used official documentation for installation you never get problems

Vorteile

Very customisable, server version great for installing in house, integrates well with other software such as Confluence. Fast and effective project and development management software. Excellent support.

Nachteile

Steep learning curve. Admin overhead too big in the end for a small team to keep core product and plugins up-to-date.

Vorteile

Easy to manage and track a project
Easy to track the progress of a story
Easy to track bugs
Integration to slack and Azure commits etc.

Nachteile

A little bit confusing UI for new users
Need a proper initial guide for new users

Vorteile

Once set up, it is easy to use and offers a lot of options to customize it to our processes.

Nachteile

JIRA is very difficult to set up and configure correctly. Support is inexistent. In one instance, an issue got deleted by some JIRA quirk, we lost all billable time tracking associated to the issue and JIRA never even tried to investigate or let us know what happened or what we could do about it. There are also outages on a regular basis or parts of the system not working, or working differently for members of the same team.

Vorteile

It is very easy to learn. When I started first I thought it will be difficult but this wasn't the case. There are loads of features and options to explore and work with that makes your daily job of project management so much easier.

Nachteile

Integration tools need a little more work.

Vorteile

I see JIRA as a strong match for agile programming.
I like the ability of the sprint management, easy filtering of the Canvas board by multiple filters (like name/component/etc.).
I also like that it can be integrated with GitHub:
- I can see all the commits and pull request associated with the story (and it saved there forever)
- The stories automatically flow in the sprint canvas boards when the status of the pull request associated with the story changes.

Nachteile

A lot of bureaucracy is required for opening a new JIRA story/bug/feature/etc. I understand that this inevitable, yet, it's very confusing at the beginning and requires some learning curve to get into the software.

Vorteile

Good robust system with a lot of options and control, easy to use for Sprints and Agile frameworks and for software developers.

Nachteile

May be a bit over the top for others when they need a simpler system. In marketing, we use the Kanban board but it's overkill - something simpler like Trello or Asana might do better for us.

Vorteile

The interface is appealing and JIRA has a lot of features that you can use to customize your workflows

Nachteile

Using the self-hosted version and integrating it with other tools of the Atlassian family (like Bitbucket or Confluence) is not as easy as it seems. You need to spent a lot of time in setting up the integration to get an almost seamless workflow. Additionally JIRA and the other Atlassian tools use a significant amount of resources even when they are used not very frequently.

Vorteile

I love JIRAs ability to interact with both HipChat and Confluence. I also love the ability to run 2 week sprints with my team and easily see the progress of each of their tasks.

Nachteile

"JIRA Spam" - I am an admin user at my current job and enter a lot of the tasks myself. Due to that I am a 'watcher' on most all of our tickets. I would prefer to receive less email communication regarding the status updates of each task. There are so many emails that they tend to be ignored due to over communication.

Vorteile

awesome tool for agile software development
everything can be customized
easy to use

Nachteile

it can be quite expensive for smaller companies

Vorteile

The tool provides rich features of capturing all possible attributes of a task in a project and provide the analytics on the burn and velocity of a sprint for a given team.

Nachteile

Visual appeal can be improved. Some functionality on the reporting can be improved and make it more prediction nature.

Vorteile

Required for modelling roadmaps and feature development within software development teams. Roadmap views motivates the team to complete tasks and move tickets across swimlanes

Nachteile

Flexible to different project types, however the number of high number of options can confuse new joiners

Vorteile

Capability to store Epic, User Story, Task, Sub Task, Test Cases, Defects

Nachteile

Navigation and UI is little confusing, Administration is little confused

Vorteile

Easy to set up, with lots of functionality. Suitable for any type of project and method, such as Agile.

Nachteile

The tool is a bit difficult to handle with all its features.
It is not necessarily suitable for all professions, for example, for designers: It is not easy to consult the evolutions of assets and to give comments.

Vorteile

JIRA presents its information in a neat, clean UI that's mostly user-friendly. The searching function is quick and efficient, pulling the information I need within the top 10 results nearly 100% of the time. JIRA is a great resource to use across any project. While this software might be catered to developer workflow, it's ease of access allows me to use it regularly as a research tool.

Nachteile

It won't take long for you to become overwhelmed with the number of places an item might reside within JIRA -- there seem to be a vast multitude of sections and drop-downs, both at the top and the lefthand side of the web page. If consolidated into one place, the UI may appear a lot cleaner, and this could streamline user workflow. However, as it stands, you can likely find what you need by searching.

Vorteile

I'm a software developer and it's a wonderful platform which helps me to have a detailed description of my tasks. Additionally, the charts are really useful to visualize how the team is managing their time and the projects.

Nachteile

There are lots of hidden fields, which might be confusing.

Vorteile

Ease provisioning of JIRA/Confluence/Bitbucket instances.
Free tiers helpful.,
Support is very good too,

Nachteile

Plugin ecosystem for cloud is much smaller that JIRA DC

Vorteile

In my role as a Project Manager for software development, the developers used JIRA to manage the development cycle and we jointly use JIRA for problem reporting, testing, quality control and resolution. JIRA provided and tracked the information between groups so there was no confusion as to the status of a particular issue or trouble ticket. The ability to review "tickets" and see the status was very beneficial from a management perspective.

Nachteile

There was somewhat of a learning curve just to get started but that improved with repetition. Although I was not directly involved with setup and configuration, that seems to be a little more complex than originally though.

Vorteile

Good product for collaborative tracking of requirements. It is also a useful tool to track code changes for IT applications

Nachteile

Several features for granular breakdown of requirements and incremental progress tracking are missing for tracking Agile Life cycle.

Vorteile

Full control over every angle of the process. The UI/UX of Jira is getting better and better over time

Nachteile

Requires a lot of time setting up the process and maintaining it. Training is almost a must if you want anyone to understand how to use it correctly. The performance of Jira in web browsers can be quite poor from time to time.

Vorteile

It has a good API, good integrations, is highly customizable, and is pretty good at tracking features, bugs, and backend tasks.

Nachteile

Navigation is cumbersome and its often difficult to access various functionality. Their search is powerful, but geeky and difficult to use; a simple universal "search everything" box as the default would be better than their syntax-heavy search approach. However, the most frustrating aspect for me is the total lack of label management (labels are Jira's version of tags, but they are not editable as relational objects). Some development teams also try to use it as a project management tool and it just isn't great for that.

Vorteile

Jira has so many different features and add-ons that it's really capable as a project planning tool - regardless of the types of projects you're working on.

Fortunately, they have some great blogs, communities, etc. to help you on your way.

Nachteile

As with all flexible software, the flexibility comes as a result of functions and features that are built in. Because there's no "one-way" for novices, Jira can be overwhelming.

Vorteile

It has literally everything that a member of the team would need! As a programmer, I can't imagine my day without using Jira because it makes everything more organized, easier and accessible.

Nachteile

It takes a bit time to get used to everything that it offers, but once u do, u can't work without it.

Vorteile

- Tagging issues with epic names helps in tracking and better management of tasks.
- Great integration with github so you can see commits and Pull requests.
- can be integrated with apps like confluence, slack, confluence.
- different stages to track issues like progress, review, production.

Nachteile

- Every time clicking on a link opens up in the same tab, there should be an option to setup open links in new tab.

- tracking History of an issue UI is a little weird and can be improved.

Vorteile

It is a very good tool for project management especially tracking project steps at a very detailed level and workflows for the various steps in the project can be incorporated into this software. It also facilitates communication with the all the members involved in the project when configured. Helps devops environment very well.

Nachteile

Since this software can get into great granularity, there is a very steep learning curve involved for users to get started with this great product. While it takes time to train users and get them comfortable, once they are past the learning curve, they seem to really enjoy using this tool.

Vorteile

Its been a few years since i've used Jira but after using other programs this one still stands out as the best. Easy to use, easy to track jobs and upload and great notification qualities. Can be used across the company from Creative teams to Development

Nachteile

I resisted using it for my team due to the fact that it looked too complicated but once our Dev manager ran thru it with me i saw just how easy it was to use.

Vorteile

Web based product that was easy to deploy

Nachteile

Building automation was very cumbersome and did not always work. For example I spent way more time that expected to build a simple automation trigger that when a scope item is closd, all the children tasks under it should close.

Vorteile

JIRA allows us to create bugs, improvements, and new features and comment, manage, and update based on the development process.

Nachteile

It can be complex at times when trying to configure or setup some element, but otherwise, the program is great to use.

Vorteile

Completely business integration, the only one system which we use to every processes in the company

Nachteile

archive of project without indexing in the basic server version not only in the datacenter, it is very, very expensive

Vorteile

- Go-to soft for product management & software delivery
- Easy to plan backlog and sprints
- Easy to track sprint progress and monitor red flags

Nachteile

- Reporting functionality is hard to use and limited
- Tasks search is very geeky and doesn't have easy filters
- There's no easy overview for the past sprints & analytics that combine a few of them

Vorteile

Pretty much the industry standard - It's so dominant in the market that JIRA knowledge is required for most devOps Positions.
Easy to use interfaces and customizability

Nachteile

Does not suit some software development models

Vorteile

You can do anything you need, create charts, apply rules, filters and customize in the way you need.

Nachteile

For easy and quick things, it seems to be so much.

Vorteile

I like the overall product quality and easiness for managing our project User Stories and other implementation.

Nachteile

Comparing it with Azure DevOps, I think reporting needs a little improvement and adding more feature time to time.

Vorteile

It is visually impactful and makes task management very quick and easy at Daily Scrums

Nachteile

It seems to be resource hungry and can be slow to refresh on some days

Vorteile

The software is has a great layout and is easy to use. The overview of tickets connected to the problem content helped our dev team to manage this.

Nachteile

Through the possibility to set avatars to the accounts each ticket is more personal as in a common ticketing system. The conncction to the developed code makes it easy.

Vorteile

Managing and assigning tasks when working with many software developers, the project manager can easily know and track bugs and issues assigned to each developer.

Nachteile

Many developers I have worked with find Jira with confusing user interfaces, it's hard to find tasks assigned to a particular developer.

It works with big projects which require many developers, but if it's a small project with 1-2 developer, one doesn't need Jira to track issues/tasks.

Vorteile

Perfect project management software for IT sprints and tickets. Easy to groom the backlog and manage sprints.

Nachteile

Can take some time to learn the ins and outs. Somewhat complicated to configure. May be too complicated for non IT projects. Can be hard to visualize the backlog with many tickets.

Vorteile

Extremely effecicent at tackling issues, and communicates updates to anyone involved. It’s incredibly easy to break down entire projects and track the progress

Nachteile

It’s only as complex and useful as your team adopts it and utilizes it. Could seem clunky.

Vorteile

Our company is using Jira and Bitbucket as well from Atlassian. the feature I like most is once you comment A Pull Request Link or Google Drive or link or something it converts it to very attractive link. And it shows the Pull Request Status as well like it is open, merged or declined etc.

Nachteile

I can't perticularly think of nothing that'd raise any concerns. If the web application has some themes to choose over that'd be great.

Vorteile

The software allows to have both a great overview and in-depth details about software projects. The large variety of configuration options allowed my team to tailor the issue workflows, issue filters and agile boards perfectly to suit our needs. The UI is nicely polished and, most times, very intuitive.

Nachteile

It has a really high learning curve when you first start using it. Moreover, configuring workflows, permissions and issue types requires a lot of time and knowledge about the software. Our team hired a consultant to have everything perfectly setup for us.

Vorteile

It is of great use to log all the issues and bugs and help to keep a track on the progress as well it has helped in a great way to improve the capability of the development and the testing team it can be used for both large scale and small scale projects

Nachteile

one of the rare disadvantage that is found is the slowness of the tool . other than that all good

Vorteile

It is very flexible and customizable which makes it easy to manage every different kind of software projects whatever the size of the product is.

Nachteile

The flexibility of the system comes at the cost of usability, so it is a little more complex to use the advanced feature of the system like their query language

Vorteile

It is very easy to create tasks, subtasks and assign to developers.
What I liked about it is I can upload images/gifs to the task that helps developers to debug too.
There are also reports automatically generated every end of sprint to measure the team's velocity and burn-down charts.

Nachteile

The only thing that concerns me is the fact that the software is paid unlike its competitors. Though, it really helps me a lot and makes me finish my tasks faster, I think the fee is reasonable.

Vorteile

Easy to keep track of project progress of the team.

Nachteile

Recently, the cloud version of the software was upgraded completely and actually removed some features that existing in the old version!

Vorteile

The mobile app is the best way to manage tickets, especially for day-to-day workflow.

Nachteile

The interface is inconsistent at best and impossible to use at worst. Every location that allows you to interact with a ticket has its own interface, making its use confusing, which is the only thing that is consistent. I would love to see the mobile app workflow moved to a Windows Store app.

Vorteile

It is pretty decent for running a team. If you don't really care about devops much, it is a perfectly good tracker.

Nachteile

I hated getting nickled and dimed with integrations for documentation (confluence) and source repository (bit bucket). It is also missing a lot of usability features that they just haven't kept up with in the lines of sorting and searching.

Vorteile

I like the level of transparency that JIRA provides me and my team. It allows us to openly tackle the same issues with total visibility on progress and tasks.

Nachteile

I don't find the user interface very intuitive. I think dynamic demos or how-to-dos would be really helpful, despicably for on-boarding.

Vorteile

Segregation of the requirements as per the sprint. and Report generation features to extract all the enhancements and its staus which helps a lot and saves time.

Nachteile

If we talk about the cons I can say in the agile way we tag multiple releases with a single enhancement so it should also have the functionality to tag multiple release versions.

Vorteile

I like the availability and ease of customization more than anything. It is very easy to tailor Jira workflow to exactly meet your needs. I have been amazed at the sheer volume of available plug-ins that extend the functionality even further.

Nachteile

While it is hard to find anything to criticize about Jira, it can be a little bit intimidating at first. The very same amount of available customization that makes this such a fantastic product can also be a handful for a small team to initially set up and get running just the way they like it.

Vorteile

Implements all features needed for a scrum workflow. I especially like the multiple hierarchies of tickets with subtasks, which e.g. GitLab has not implemented as good.

Nachteile

You shouldn't use Jira with a very low powered pc, because performance is a bit bad in those cases
