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.

“JIRA is easy to use by whole team”

Overall rating5.0

I have been using JIRA for many years and on many projects. It's quite easy to use and comes with other applications from Atlassian. We can integrate confluence and bitbucket with JIRA and that makes life easy for dev and team leads.

“Very good. Use it for almost all of my software projects.”

Overall rating5.0

Pros: Lots of customizability with regard to task formats, workflows, etc.

Cons: Sometimes a bit too robust for very simple projects, in which case Trello will do.

“Jira works better for project work”

Overall rating5.0

At Klyp, we are a full-service Digital Marketing agency that specialize in Website design and development and also Marketing. We've been using Jira for many years because it worked very well for a software and website development point of view. It seems as though Jira works better for project work and it integrates with all of our third-party programs.

“Best in my opinion”

Overall rating4.0

I have used Jira on multiple projects for my website - The Party People and would seem to be the best of the tools. It is also the most expensive which is the main deterrent for me. The software has its own limitations so not perfect scores but it’s the best in my opinion.
