The gold standard for bug tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Jira is the best bug tracking system I've ever worked with. In addition to using it as an end-user, I've also exported data from another system and imported it into a Jira instance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Over the last 8 or 10 years that I've used Jira, they've added features for agile and Scrum project management, which is good. However, that means the system is rather complex nowadays. So, it's very full-featured, but complicated, too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for project management - tracking features, chores, and bugs. It provides a lot more functionality than our previous tool, Pivotal Tracker.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try - I think a trial is still free. The cloud-hosted version requires no real setup.
Makes Project Management super easy and hassle-free
What do you like best about the product?
1) The ease of creating epics, user stories and tasks, dashboards and access rights
2) The project story-board, tracking charts and queries
3) Intuitive UI
4) Flexibility to design workflow project wise.
5) Provision for automatic action on tasks and user stories

What do you dislike about the product?
Look and feel comes to mind. I spent a lot of my time working on JIRA and I wish I could make it more lively.
I think a feature that I would like to addressed is the issue of duplication. In a big team, it is quite often a possibility for different QA's to raise same issues hence causing the duplication error. I wish there was a feature of auto-fill facility , something which we have in Stackoverflow or Jira Query writer.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was working as a developer for a fin-tech company. Before JIRA, there was a very complex tool being used for team and project management. JIRA proved to be a very convenient transformation from that tool and made project-tracking and hence accountability much easier. The teams were much more motivated to account for time spent on tasks as it became easier to do and they could visualize whole team's effort through burn down charts for the sprint.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is said that initial installation of JIRA is time-consuming and cumbersome. However, past that point, JIRA will prove all the efforts worth the experience. In a large establishment where project management has a different meaning as per the responsibilities and nature of the job, JIRA proves to be efficient and accomplishes work for employees at each level, from CXO to the developer.
Flexible and affordable issue tracking with agile add-ins
What do you like best about the product?
Constant intuitive improvements in the UI, workflow flexibility for each project/issue type, plug-ins for FishEye and Crucible, GreenHopper add-on for agile. Support for both Scrum and Kanban boards. Good history/activity logging, flexible notification system. Easy to add custom fields.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it supported Change Control so we didn't have to use a 3rd party app. We require multiple approvals based on change type, etc. and we haven't found anything in JIRA yet that fully supports what we need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use JIRA for tracking all manner of bugs, enhancements, tasks, etc. for all our software products. We use their agile option for stories and sprints. We're able to use as much or as little of the agile as we need for each project-- some use none at all, some are 100% agile.
The boards help us prioritize the items in our sprint through drag and drop, and see burn-down rates. It's easy to build a board to suit your own needs. Versions are very easy to mange-- we also use Labels and Components to further identify each ticket. I've run very complex projects using only JIRA and a very brief project plan.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to define exactly what you need from an issue tracking tool. JIRA hit all the right spots for us, but there are many to choose from. I've used FogBugz and Bugzilla, and this is far superior to both. Also explore the plug-in community-- there are lots of interesting add-ons for JIRA that might solve a specific problem. You can start with just a few users to see if it's a good fit before making a committment.
I use JIRA professionally in mobile game developement
What do you like best about the product?
JIRA is an easy to use task management system. It is perfect for the agile approach to software engineering and allows for quick management of large projects. For the average user it is a great place to compile all the tasks and split them up per person and and per sprint or category. The UI is also easy to use, but thoroughly extensive when it comes to options available.
What do you dislike about the product?
JIRA can be a little difficult to get the hang of at first and does require constant attention when developing a large project. Adding more people and more filters can be cumbersome at times and a few of the UI screens can get messy real quick depending on what you have displayed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
JIRA allows us to maintain and organize a large mobile game project in one space. It is great for keep track of tasks over a large period of time and ultimately helps us develop software even faster than before.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend using JIRA for large project management in a professional setting. It is easy to use and setup and will save you a lot of hassle in the end.
Work obligation, impressive abilities
What do you like best about the product?
Entire team uses, easy to hand issues off, time tracking is simple
Plugins are good and help with non-core features.
Plugins are good and help with non-core features.
What do you dislike about the product?
permission limitations. Some things would be nice to do without manager approval, but logically good to have hierarchy.
plugins can be expensive. It's not out of my pocket, but the company says no to features I asked for.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
time spent per issue translates to cost of task/project. other teams are more sensitive when requesting team resources
JIRA - Dreams of Scrum
What do you like best about the product?
Jira seems like a fairly well engineered product. It runs fairly consistently, has tons of built in features and has a pretty healthy ecosystem of third-party plugins/addons to extend functionality even further.
What do you dislike about the product?
Jira can occasionally be very cumbersome. Some of that difficulty can come from making this more complicated than they need to be via customization, but there are a handful of situations where you will be looking for the ability to customize a behavior and be stopped cold in your tracks.
Another thing that was disappointing is server backups. We find ourselves in a situation where it's very time consuming to backup our instance and clone it for upgrade testing. Because of the way licensing works, we either have to execute a cloning procedure that takes hours to complete or spend thousands of more dollars a year in order to clone our server for upgrade testing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've found a way across the organization to log and track bugs. It is now very easy for Team A to know how to communicate with Team B and file bug reports directly. It's even easy to transfer issues from one group to another. There are lots of tools useful for following SCRUM methodology
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are tons of features so I'd suggest a thorough evaluation before committing.
Versatility where you need it most
What do you like best about the product?
Usability and addons. Zephyr for JIRA made feature specific testing easy to monitor.
What do you dislike about the product?
Search queries. I've never had more difficulty when searching a bug database as I do with JIRA
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I convinced my company to adopt the use of Zephyr for JIRA for test casing as we were limited to spreadsheets and google docs and it made tracking feature specific bugs and work difficult.
Implementing the use of Zephyr side by side with our JIRA bug database helped to alleviate a lot of tracking issues and saved us a lot of time as a team.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Set up flexible search queries that just need keywords added to simplify the search process.
Jira is a great tool for engineering collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Jira's flexibility allows customization needed for the organization. Have been using Jira for about 8 years now.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it feels like too many options are there, but it's actually manageable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication between management, engineering and QA.
Jira review
What do you like best about the product?
High collaboration tool for updating stories and being updated on agile methodologies
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be very cluttered as a software, have to discuss implementation metrics with your team
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Delegating stories and tasks and efficiently realizing blockers in the development cycle
Ideal for Agile Marketers
What do you like best about the product?
Jira enables you to see what is going on for an entire sprint for every member of the team. You know the status (ready, in progress, in review, acceptance, done) of any project at any given time, for any team member. It helps you "Flag" where there are holdups, so delays (usually on the client end) don't cause real hold ups in workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be glitchy and it takes a lot of work to set up initially. We had a consultant help us which was very valuable. Each monthly release planning is also very time consuming for the Product owner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increased productivity and efficiency. We are no longer held up if there are issues, and things get taken off of your mental and tangible "to do" once it's an impediment. We also have a stronger handle on our team's capacity and know when it's close to being at max.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get help onboarding if you need it or you won't find it as affective and be frustrated.
