Complicated permissions management

54% of reviewers feel negative about Security and Access Control, highlighting the complexity of managing user roles, permissions, and workflows. Users say that setting up detailed access controls often requires significant time and expertise, with confusing configuration options and insufficient documentation. Reviewers mention that permissions can be overly granular or rigid, leading to difficulties in granting appropriate access or customizing boards. They find that onboarding new users is slowed by these complexities, and that managing permissions can create unnecessary process overhead.

Complex and cluttered navigation

Software developer

For new users, the platform can seem crowded with many menus, boards, filters, projects, and configuration options, so it takes some time to understand where to look and how to navigate efficiently.

Systems and Network Admin

The user interface can feel cluttered and unintuitive, with a lot of navigation required to access various functionalities.

64% of reviewers feel negative about Navigation, describing the interface as crowded and unintuitive, especially for new users. Users say the abundance of menus, settings, and options makes it difficult to find relevant information or perform simple tasks. Reviewers indicate that navigating between boards, filters, and dashboards can be confusing, with inconsistent layouts and hidden features. They find the learning curve steep, and note that the interface can feel overwhelming or cluttered, particularly in larger organizations with multiple projects and workflows.

High and escalating costs

Java Developer

The pricing model is a bit aggressive, where you need to pay for most of the plugins based on the amount of users in the system (not the users actually using the plugin).

57% of reviewers feel negative about Pricing, expressing concerns over the tool’s expense, especially as teams grow or require additional features. Users say that costs increase sharply with more users or when adding plugins, making it less accessible for small businesses or startups. Reviewers indicate that essential features often require paid add-ons, and the pricing model can be confusing or feel like nickel-and-diming. They find that the free tier is restrictive, and the overall cost can become prohibitive as organizational needs expand.

Sluggish performance at scale

Intern Supervisor - UCW

One of the issues I ran into using Jira was performance, especially when a lot of projects are being managed and large data sets are involved, this could slow down performance.  

Developer

Navigating the UI (on a high-spec computer connected via ethernet to a fast internet connection) has a noticeable delay on each interaction. While it's still possible to work through that, the user experience was frustrating - especially as this is a tool that you touch many times a day.

84% of reviewers feel negative about Performance and Speed, reporting frequent lag, slow load times, and delays when handling large projects or numerous users. Users say that high latency disrupts workflows, especially with extensive backlogs or multiple plugins. Reviewers mention that real-time updates can be delayed, and system responsiveness often suffers during peak usage or with complex configurations. They find that even on high-spec machines, navigating the interface can be frustratingly slow, which impacts productivity and makes daily operations less efficient.

Frequent bugs and glitches

Technician in Energy and Thermal Engineering

The Jira application is not optimized for mobile use, is riddled with bugs, and lacks important features that should be included.

57% of reviewers feel negative about Bugs and Issues, citing recurring glitches, confusing error messages, and unreliable integrations. Users say they encounter problems with task transitions, saving comments, and board updates, often requiring manual refreshes or troubleshooting. Reviewers mention that the platform can be fragile, especially when integrating with other tools, and that support for resolving bugs is sometimes slow or ineffective. They find that these issues disrupt workflows, cause confusion, and make the system less dependable for daily use.
