What customers report

4.3
Based on 61 verified reviews

What users like the most

  • Jira's flexibility to adapt to various workflows and configurations allows us to tailor the software to our specific needs. We have found that Jira easily integrates with other tools, such as GitHub and Slack, enhancing the overall project management experience. Jira offers comprehensive reporting and analytics options, enabling our teams to keep track of key performance indicators and identifying areas for improvement.

What users like the least

  • Jira's high customizability may make it initially confusing for new users, and it might take some time to become familiar with the interface. For smaller teams or businesses with limited budgets, Jira can be on the higher end of the price spectrum, especially when accounting for add-ons and premium features.

Review Summary
Summarized from 61 verified reviews · Updated September 2026
Jira is a flexible, feature-rich platform valued for agile software development and project management, with strong capabilities for tracking tasks, workflows, and team collaboration. However, users frequently cite complexity as a significant drawback—the steep learning curve, intricate administration, and interface design create barriers for new users and smaller teams. While many praise its customization and integration options, concerns about pricing, setup overhead, and that it may be overkill for simpler projects are recurring themes. Despite these limitations, Jira remains an industry standard, particularly for larger organizations and distributed teams.

“Still best in class for software projects”

Overall rating4.0
Jira still sets the bar for software project management. I hate that some things that should be standard need to be added via marketplace, with an additional cost, but the flexibility is very nice. Even better now that Automation is now going to be part of the standard offering.

“Jira for Enterprise Business Applications”

Overall rating4.0

We use Jira as our primary workflow and ticket tracking system for all of our enterprise applications. We use this for our custom applications as well as as the purchased products. The Kanban board is a great option for SCRUM meetings.

“JIRA is the best and most widely used Project Lifecycle management tool”

Overall rating5.0

Jira is an awesome tool to manager projects and collaborate with team to get things done from end to end right from requirement grooming, development, logging/tracking bugs, creating epics and collaborating with team at large. It allows to create dashboard with multiple filters to have a one stop view of the progress of tickets. It allows for visualizations of tickets and the status they are in, track the releases. Overall a great tool for project management.

“Jira has superb configuration possibilities”

Overall rating4.5

For project management, we prefer using Jira Atlassian to manage to assign and monitor tasks to our team members at Transformify. So far, it's convenient to use especially for our agile software development team with its powerful bug tracking capabilities and customization level. Generating reports about the team's velocity and easy viewing of time spent on by every team member on each task is what I love most about using Jira. Making changes is not as easy as Jira compared to other software. We need Jira's features to manage complex projects with so many subtasks.
