Features of Jira
Reviews of Jira

Amazing for issue tracking and project management
Comments: Great so far
Pros:
JIRA's UI is very user-friendly and hence, it's easier to set up and onboard people onto it.You can create different projects for your different departments and manage your issues/bugs/tasks. Every Ticket has highly extensive options to provide detailed information and these can be edited later with ease. Timeline feature is also very useful.
Cons:
I love this tool. The only thing that can be improved is the preview and size limit of the files attached to tickets.
Jira for Project Management
Comments: It's easier with Jira to manage the kanban and scrum requirements at basic & intermediate level, the complex workfows really ease the process managable in Jira. The system in place which makes the process enforced helps team to track the work items properly and auditable at times.
Pros:
Jira is an amazing project management tool that helps team quickly get started with the tool on features to track their daily tasks, backlogs, srpints, & reports. The ecosystem is so flexible that it allows integration with many tools and wide range APIs to get the necessary things done in minutes!
Cons:
There are still improvements required from UI/UX perspective where the issue view page can be made lot better. The complex workflows with the validators would require some more options in place.
Alternatives Considered: GitHub and Asana
Reasons for Switching to Jira: It provides easier configuration for workflows achieving the granular reuirements to make the process.
Jira review
Pros:
I think is the interface is better than other apps in certain things
Cons:
Sometimes is hard to use filters if you are new
Effective tool to manage projects and track work
Comments: This application makes tracking the development of a project a breeze, saving me time and making the progress of the project clear to everyone involved. When it comes to keeping tabs on the status of various projects, Jira is the application that excels.
Pros:
The project's progress and any arising problems can be monitored via JIRA. The most useful feature is the ability to set limits on how far along a work can be tracked and then assign it to a certain individual. Here, we can keep tabs on how long each stage of a project takes, as well as any problems that arise along the way.
Cons:
For a first-time user to make sense of the system's many options, some training is in order. Getting more and more intoll kid tickets may be more trouble than it's worth.
Best Tool so Far
Comments: I worked as a Product owner in a Multi National company where we were cooperating 5 Product Owners together with other PM's and Developemnt Teams .Jira made it very easy to cooperate and sync tasks amongst ourselves and easily share tasks to developers kew where to stop and where to start.
Pros:
Easy to use compared to other previous PMO software used in the past, great at team management.
Cons:
Time it takes to Customize a board end to end
Alternatives Considered: monday.com
Reasons for Switching to Jira: Price was better for first , administration was also a big plus since we could easily add Propper privileges when a new developer joined the team or give stakeholders read access.
