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.

Backend Developer

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.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

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

“some mass actions across multiple iterations & flows don't work as expected”
ID

Irina D.

CTO

“The API documentation is not very clear and the options to create a project is missing in the new version of the software. While creating a workflow state it gets very difficult to fetch data via UI.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Shubham K.

Marketing Manager

“I have never expected issues despite using it daily to report internal bugs.”
