    My overall experience with Jira has been awesome. I used Jira in multiple projects and I prefer Jira over the other similar tools available in the market. The APIs from Jira offer a great flexibility to integrate with automation code. I will recommend Jira to manage and plan your work.

    Pros

    Jira offers a lot of great features specially the end to end application life cycle management. Integration with test case management tools like ATM, Xray, Zephyr offer a great flexibility and options to manage test cases, execution and planning. I liked the Dashboard widget options and ease to create custom queries with Jira. The charts and trend give a lot of good insight into the project.

    Cons

    I worked on many other tools similar to Jira but Jira is the best tool I liked. I don't find anything which I don't like about Jira. However, there were few times when I had to do some workaround to create the test execution reports but that's not a concern.

    If you're in the Atlassian ecosystem, it's convenient to use. If you're not, and looking for a project management tool - there are many other options that are likely better for the price. Purchasing Jira separately to me only makes sense for small businesses with less than 10 users on it's lowest plan.

    Pros

    I was on an Enterprise plan via Atlassian, and didn't have the highest expectations for Jira - but I learned to love it. The UI isn't the greatest, but it's not bad for the price. Functionality-wise it's not far off from an Asana in terms of tagging and timelines. I like how they took from Confluence's UI to in the boards to help visualize tasks better.

    Cons

    It's just not enjoyable to use, and your project management tool is something you need to enjoy using everyday. I think it's the UI. It feels cold. Everything is easy to use because it's natural UI, but it's not fun to use and my team agrees.

    Alternatives Considered

    Asana

    Reasons for Switching to Jira

    We actually started with Jira in the marketing team, and decided to switch to Asana completely. I still needed to use Jira though, because I was part of the product team who used it as well. There's plans to transition completely out of Jira for product as well however, so only our developers will use it.

    I have been using it for 4 years in a row now and the experience has been immersive. It is the first thing I use while beginning my day at work. I track the tasks at hand and begin working with higher priority items. It is simpler to use over a period of time and easily checkout branches in github using the commands specified in the Jira UI. I am a current user of Jira and it has improved a lot over years and it is just the way I want my agile project to be tracked, collaborate on a team level and achieve milestones

    Pros

    I like the concept of agile sprint management which Jira is designed for. I like the way tasks are arranged on the Jira task board. It has a way of defining sprint points for each task which helps enables the team and stakeholders to identify the resource consumption and time taken to deliver the story. It also enables me to track the progress of my own tasks on an individual level and collaborate on a team level. It comes with integration with CI/CD tools like github as well

    Cons

    The linking of tasks to current sprint can be more simpler. Also initial learning of this platform takes some time if you are from a non technical background. The UI has scope of improvement, can be more modular
