Jira Align Reviews

Pros

The tracking and planning tool is very useful as it can be used to see the status of the project at any given time

Cons

It takes some time to get the hang of the product and the user need to be trained in the usage of some areas of the product

Pros

The ability to manage projects and teams through an agile framework as they grow bigger is valuable, giving a clear understanding of how smaller tasks and projects fit into the bigger picture and wider aims of the company.

As usual, integration with other Atlassian products is a key benefit here.

Cons

It's pretty difficult to use at the start, and takes some getting used to. This is a common issue with Atlassian products in my experience.

Pros

It is easy t use and counts with many integrations with the entire Atlassian ecosystem. What I like the most is the ability to create a centralized organization chart linked to my many other projects via a direct lunchpad service.

Cons

Implementation times could be a little extensive depending on the industry you try to apply this to, I would suggest paying for the extra few dollars to get a representative with more experience to help you set it up.

Pros

Out of the box implementation of Agile methodologies like SAFe, Lean, etc. Also built in integration with Jira helps a lot. Lots of rooms, reports and dashboards at each level in the hierarchy to track metrics.

Cons

Integration only with Jira so you will have to build a custom integration if you are using other ALM tools like Rally. Also it would have been nice if instead of being a separate tool, it was integrated right into Jira itself.

Pros

I absolutely love using Jira Align for my projects. Currently, we have 5 projects going at the same time, and having this software to keep everything organized for quality control is amazing.

Cons

I would like to have easier control over notifications.

Pros

- it is possible to integrate with other systems/apps
- it's a great tool to log tickets, track their status and communicate with internal and external teams
- allows you to create your own dashboards

Cons

- requires some training before you can use all functions of the system
- the same with building dashboards

Pros

AgileCraft helps make work visible, which is key to ensuring we're working on the right things and that we're aware of the risks and issues that might keep us from success.

Cons

AgileCraft is a feature-rich application, and with that comes complexity. It can be difficult to get less enthusiastic stakeholders over the threshold until they start to get used to the system.

Pros

The software has been straightforward to use to help communicate/coordinate IT requests by our customer and ensure we are meeting project deadlines.

Cons

At this time from a Program Manager view, I am able to review tasks quickly to get an update and communicate as needed to the IT team for further details as needed. So the software is meeting my needs.

Pros

Ability to support SAFe top to bottom.

Cons

So many choices it can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to the reports. It's a little like the menu at the Cheesecake Factory.
