Jira is out of the box free, and it's amazing because it works with everything by the same company. It also allows for easy organization of projects and silos, which intersect with each other. You can easily hand off tasks and allow people to collaborate.

Jira has a very development based angle, so if you're trying to manage a hybrid team, it works well. But if your team is marketing heavy, it's very anti-user friendly unless a person has familiarity with code or databases. It's just sparse and less user friendly.

The customization and features it has are awesome. We can do lots of project management things with Jira. Definately one should try for their projects. This is the best among all project management tools

I really don't like much their UI. It can be improved. Especially in latest version of their UX, the navigation sucks.

Tracking tasks is a time consuming effort, and one that is easy to forget. Luckily, there is Jira. Jira lets you track your tasks and time spent on them without encroaching on your day. It is easy to set up (once you know what you are doing), easy to use, and a delight to look at. It provides the time tracking and issue tracking tools that any serious project requires.

It is hard to set up the first time. You need to know which functions you need and which you should remove. But once you set it up and know how it works, it is a treat to work with it.

Sprint planning is easy and very helpful.
Productivity is enhanced many folds after using this.
Team work becomes stronger
Easy to convey things between a team
Easy to track team member's work
Team performance becomes efficient
Integration with tools makes the tasks efficient to process
Product road map made easier than ever
Used by software developers of Expedia

Certain limitations are:-
In the beginning it is difficult to get used to it.
Collaboration feature is missing
It is basically made for software developers.
A little expensive
In the beginning managing tasks can be a challenge

As an SDLC management tool it excels. It's designed from the ground up for tracking user stories, tasks, epics, sprints, etc. in large organizations. It is excellent for cross functional team collaboration and really shines in a mature environment that doesn't change frequently or quickly. It is continuously improving and it is obvious that the JIRA team is very proactive and dedicated to staying ahead of the competition in features and services.

It is overkill for smaller teams or products that are very early in their life. When projects and teams are very dynamic, Jira projects become bloated, cumbersome, and fragmented. This product really is suited for larger, mature organizations that already have strong procedural discipline and rather monolithic approval/decision making. I know it's supporting agile methodology but really it's rigidness is more aligned with waterfall type management.

Easy team task tracking, efficient sprint planning, and organized confluence. All and more is very easy to use and adapt.
Epics and stories help you to divide the project into parts and assign divided tasks within the team. In this way, you can follow all of the elements of a project in detail. And no step escapes from your attention. You can also distribute the workload very planned and provide team collaboration.

Sometimes connection is low. But overall, it's really beneficial.

The best feature of Jira is to manage the workflow of project smoothly and the integration part of Jira with other software like Jenkins, slack etc. The integration with other software keep everything at same page, whether the update after code deployment and alarm setter.

I have used thoroughly but couldn't find as such any improvement, with time it has improved a lot, I guess Jira can focus on the UX and UI part, the part of searching in Jira is complicated, it can be simplified.

Have been using Jira for more than 5 years, One thing that I liked about this is that evolved with the changing demands of the IT industry, today it's the cleanest way to Plan and Track a Project, Now when we are in the phase of Agile Development and Scrum is a day to day activity, it gives a clear indication of whether the team is on track or not, secondly, we can plan to create backlogs ahead of time that makes it effective for planning the project ahead.

There should be a lite version where it loads on slow internet connections, Atlassian should look into making it lightweight and make it faster to load specially on VPN as we have moved to WFH culture and internet speed is a issue at remote places

Having worked with several QA and development teams, Jira is a fantastic tool which can be tailored to fit just about any software development project. I enjoy that the standard feature set is powerful and easy to setup, but it can also be expanded upon using custom programming or third-party extensions. Given the product's prominence in the marketplace, it's easy to get started with a new project and quickly get the entire team on the same page in capturing bugs, tasks and feedback and moving work through a process.

As flexible as the system is, there are times where Jira simply isn't able to accomplish a task in the most straightforward way. As a project planner, the number of organizational levels (Epics, Stories, Tasks and Bugs) can seem like an appropriate amount, but each of these levels need to be customized in order for the system to meet the fundamental requirements jira has in place out-of-the-box. What I least about Jira is that is seems to have an "attitude" about how work/tasks should be organized. As soon as you encounter something that is not in line with that attitude, you end up needing to tweak a lot of little things in order to get the result you want.

Its very simple and efficient tool to track, manage projects and capture efforts .
It gives very clear idea of status of project (in-progress, ready to test, ready for release etc) , items being worked on in the project and team working on it under one tab.
A tester can raise defects with severity under project tab and assigns to developer which automatically informs developer through email. Developer fixes defects and assigns it back to tester.
It arranges the work assigned to user on the basis of priority shows it on the very first dashboard page after login.
It has capability to log hours along with description of work done. The hours logged can exported to report format and verified for every member working in project.

Not big cons as such.
The only con I see is it does not support peer programming. Any issue can be assigned only to one person. If multiple people are working on a single issue or multiple leads are reviewing code jira does not really have capability to support this.

i really was amazed when i began working with jira,it has alot and i mean alot of features.
As a developer the most important for me was Ajile boards and how it's effective in sprint planning and working with scrum.
also bug reporting and fixing became easy,and also you can make integrations with many apps and tools like slack ,github and many more.
how over due to so much features you might get lost in the beginning,
if you don't know where to start.
but never the less ,i highly recommend it for any one in the tech field specially developers and busines people.

the UX is not very appealing and could use more work.
maype more seperation between features

We're a marketing team but use scrum development rules applied to marketing and JIRA has been an amazing, customizable tool for that. Automating workflows has been really powerful. Tracking points has made us far more efficient than we otherwise would be. It's greatest strength translates into it's greatest weakness. When you pack so much power and methodology into one tool it becomes a much more niche product built for specific people and can seem difficult to use. But, that's what we love about it. One you learn it, it changes the game.

In order to use JIRA you need someone or multiple people that really understand agile development and scrum to make it work. Otherwise, you won't be able to leverage it's power.

You have the ability to implement many extra plugins that have been designed specifically for JIRA. There are a lot of customizations you can make within the interface without the need for addtional plugins as well.

There is a lot of manual setup required. A lot of times, it seems like you need to create multiple pieces within the console in order to get something working properly. When I would set up new boards and categories, I found myself having to redo my work on a few occasions because I would miss a setup when setting up certain references.

This is amazing for when working with other developers and designers. We are able to instantly add any bugs necessary for our developers to handle and get real time updates. The ability to provide feedback has also been awesome for tracking any comments and or suggestions within our team and remote workers.

The software doesn't have the most mobile friendly app. It seems to run a bit differently on mobile so you would have to be willing to do everything on desktop preferably. In addition, you are limited in the file upload option which can be hard and tedious.
