Pros

“Paymo excels as a comprehensive project management and time tracking tool especially for freelancers and agencies handling multiple clients and projects.”
AF

Andrea F.

Founder

“The ability to assign tasks, monitor progress, and generate detailed invoices all within one platform saves significant time and effort.”
AF

Andrea F.

Founder

“Additionally, the Gantt charts and Kanban boards provide great flexibility for visualizing project timelines and workflows.”
AF

Andrea F.

Founder

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

Cons

“Customization doesn’t go far enough, for example I can’t switch to another invoicing template (subcontracting) without having to go to settings and change the company logo for all invoices.”
BS

Boris S.

Webdesigner

“The mobile app does not have enough features from the web-version, I especially miss being able to invoice unbilled time for my projects, without having to go to the website.”
KG

Kristian G.

Motion Graphic Designer

“The mobile app needs more refinement. As i invite guests over to my project dashboard, I am currently unable to notify them whenever I post a comment.”
MW

Manuel W.

WordPress Consultant and Webdesigner

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.”
