Pros

“The way we use Jira is primarily for campaign builds: building websites for refresh tasks, email sequences, changing paid search stuff or the occasional client journey diagram.”
ET

Edward T.

Founder and Marketing Strategist

“It provides the structure and accountability needed to scale Agile practices effectively across an organization. When configured well, it creates total transparency between product, engineering, and management.”
BB

Bea B.

Instructional Designer

“What I like most about Jira is that it is a very useful and structured tool for organizing team tasks, managing requests coming from different departments, and keeping track of the progress of each activity.”
CR

Carmine R.

Software developer

Pros

“Its reporting capabilities provide valuable insights that support better planning and decision-making. Although it takes some time to learn all of its features, the benefits in efficiency, collaboration, and financial management make it a worthwhile investment for organizations managing multiple projects and resources.”
PK

Premdeep K.

Project Designer

“I also appreciate the customization options, intuitive project collaboration tools, and the visibility it provides into budgets and forecasts, helping teams make more informed business decisions.”
PK

Project Designer

“The platform makes it easy to track employee time accurately and efficiently, while the invoicing tools streamline billing and help ensure projects are billed correctly.”
BB

Bailey B.

Office Manager

Cons

“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.”
CR

Carmine R.

Software developer

“I also remember encountering situations between 2023 and 2025 where I did not receive expected email notifications, and because of keyword-related rules, some tickets were missed. While these issues were not frequent, they could occasionally affect workflow efficiency.”

Komal G.

Process Associate

“Although the reporting within Jira supports the general tracking of work status and development and release cycle metrics, it does not natively support many of the metrics/KPI reporting required for project oversight or executive information analysis.”
KG

Kregg G.

Agile Team Lead

Cons

“Because we had to fit our project identification and invoice numbering into Factor's configuration, our reporting from Quickbooks has been more difficult to compile and utilize. ”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Jeanie W.

Business Manager

“However, one limitation is that late fees applied within QuickBooks Online do not automatically flow back into the system, which requires manual tracking or adjustments.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Tammie C.

Executive Business Manage and now Executive Assistant to CEO

“There are many reports available, however, some of the timeline reports are not editable and the print-out version isn't the best (to present to clients). ”
