Open DevOps

Avantages

JIRA is one of the best known software used to develop and track software using the Agile method. Using JIRA is easy to track application usage and easy to assign to developers tasks. I have been working with JIRA in software development for over 2 years. At JIRA we used to develop software on the basis of continuous integration and continuous development.

Inconvénients

Honestly, I haven't found a feature or functionality of JIRA that I dislike because it comes with multiple features that are really useful when communicating on a project with team members on the stories.

Avantages

- Easy for devs to understand
- Easy to integrate with bitbucket
- Easy to integrate third party apps like slack, zephyr and many more
- Help employees to manage their tasks and track their production time
- Help management to keep track of progress of the project and also to get an idea of employee's performance.

Inconvénients

A bit lengthy tool, for new users, one should be able to use it once s/he will spend 1 month on it.

Avantages

Once you get passed the learning curve, it's fairly simple. Ability to keep in sync with a Dev team is probably the best overall Pro. Devs seem to be able to understand the features and flows here more than anyone. Integrations with other software make it a consideration. Ability to track in kanban style.

Inconvénients

It's not Aesthetically pleasing at all. There are a lot of features and capabilities that are in-line or buried that aren't evident. There is a pretty big learning curve with Jira and it's purpose. There are SO many capabilities, integrations and functions that are constantly being changed or updated that by the time you catch up to the curve, something changes and you're behind again. Support team also is not super clear on communication.

Avantages

We use devops for all of our task management for our environment.

Inconvénients

There is nothing that I do not currently like about DevOps.

Avantages

1. Great User Interface and User Experience.
2. The ability to create custom queues and automatically re-direct issues to these queues saves a lot of time. 3. The inbuilt SLA management and the option of integrating it to third party alert and notification software is impressive.
4. Adding attachment, links and other resources to JIRA ticket is easy and straightforward.
5. It has great audit trail tracking and can act as a source of truth for all parties involved.

Inconvénients

1. The issue search feature could have been a little more customizable and faster.
2. The options available to format the comments on an issue are limited and not very intuitive.

Avantages

JIRA provides a solution for almost all project management issues. A lot of companies are migrating from Service now to JIRA software due to its pricing and features. Jira has a lot of subsidiaries and compatible with third-party plugins and apps.
Easy to use, customizable to list a few.

Inconvénients

No cons as such but yes with the complex features provided by JIRA software will require good knowledge or hands-on to go with.

Avantages

Jira makes it super easy to manage a team and helps each developer stay on top of their tasks, keep track of everything they are doing, and easily communicate with other team members.

Inconvénients

Maybe a bit of help with integration would be amazing for anyone that has no idea what they are doing but otherwise it is AMAZING.

Pourquoi passer à Open DevOps

Avantages

One of the things I liked most about Open DevOps was its extensive collection of open-source tools and resources. The platform provided a wide range of DevOps-related solutions, including continuous integration, deployment automation, configuration management, and monitoring. The availability of these tools in one centralized platform made it convenient for developers and operations teams to collaborate and streamline their workflows. Additionally, the active community support and frequent updates ensured access to the latest features and improvements.

Inconvénients

While Open DevOps had many positive aspects, one thing I liked least was the learning curve associated with some of the tools and technologies it offered. As an open-source platform, there were instances where the documentation or support resources for certain tools were limited or less comprehensive. This required additional effort and research to fully understand and implement those tools effectively. It would be beneficial to have more detailed documentation and user-friendly guides to support users, especially those who are new to specific technologies.

Avantages

It has a customizable architecture that supports a variety of procedures for development and deployment. The software development lifecycle is automated at various phases, enhancing teamwork between the development and operations teams. It provides a useful and effective technique for developing, delivering, and overseeing cloud-based applications.

Inconvénients

When there are many users using this portal, it could be very slow. For some more complicated tasks, it can be challenging to use. It can be necessary for team members to take pricey training courses and learn new abilities.

Avantages

It's a open source
It supports Ms SQL, oracle and many more databases and different version control tools
As mentioned, even though it's commercial Trail version is more enough for any kind of projects

Inconvénients

Most of the Commercial tools are rich User interface, but Jira has very old versions and not upto date on features

Avantages

I like that Jira is very easy to use and intuitive for the most part. It is easy to set up and explain the features and functions on a basic level. Within the week, even tech illiterate people could use it well.

Inconvénients

Some of the terms (“story points”) etc seem superfluous. There are a lot of functions in Jira that are nice but aren’t necessary.

Avantages

Jira is a very powerful tool for managing teams of software developers working on one, or even multiple projects simultaneously. It is very robust and feature-rich, with features such as setting up/managing individual tasks, coordinating development efforts across tasks/developers to maximize team productivity, managing/tracking issues & bugs, gathering feedback from non-technical users via Jira user stories and managing project backlogs. There in also embedded support for Scrum & Kanban boards, although I haven't personally worked with those features. The custom workflows allow users to setup and manage their projects & teams according to the needs of their business and their preferred software development framework and management style. Jira is a very comprehensive, all-in-one tool for managing smaller teams of only a few people, all the way up to very large teams of 100+ stakeholders.

Inconvénients

Given the robust features and functions that Jira supports, there's a lot of depth and breadth to the software, so it can be somewhat complex and confusing to newer users, especially those who haven't worked much with project management tools previously. For project managers who are leading multiple teams simultaneously, things can get a bit overwhelming because the email notifications and project alerts can quickly start to become excessive, and there's no way to consolidate notifications across projects/teams.

Avantages

Manage your projects seamlessly with Jira Software.
Best project management tool that lets your team track time.
It is web based project management and bug tracking tool.
Leading issue and project management software.
Perfect for tracking time spent and running reports.
Jira makes it easy to see what's going on in one place.

Inconvénients

It is a bug tracking and project management software tool, The Jira platform is flexible, allowing users to build custom workflows. It is affordable and can be used across different departments of an organization.

Avantages

1. Works like bug tracking tool
2. Efficient project management tool
3. Easily assign the issue to anyone
4. Easy to search any existing story
5. Drag each of the stories into a single spring. You can prepare sprints in minutes if you have already created stories. All you need to do is assign a timeline to the sprint.

Inconvénients

1. It is a complicated and heavy tool. Thus, it needs dedicated tech personnel to manage the same.
2. There are cheaper alternatives in the market.

Avantages

Jira has a plethora of useful features. When it comes to tracking bugs and issues for developers, Jira is excellent. In addition, it may be used as a typical corporate project tracker right out of the box.

Inconvénients

As much as I adore Jira, I agree with the arguments you've stated here, particularly with regard to visibility, pleasure, the sense of progress, and so forth that Jira takes away from the development process.

Avantages

The generous part is it is free for up to 10 users so that any small companies can also make use of it.

Inconvénients

Setting up all the tasks and updating the JIRA software dashboard is a little time-consuming.

Avantages

Supports integration to most of the developer's tools
Complete freedom to design your own workflow and screens
An automated ticketing system can also be generated with its Command line interface and workflow
Customer Support is one of the best in the corporate industry
Multiple tools have given at user end to make admin changes easily like, Restarting tomcat, re-indexing or integration with SVN, git.

Inconvénients

Expensive for businesses who are medium size
Upgradation of the software from one version to another requires real IT skills
If you want to keep Jira running smoothly it has the indexing feature to make it faster but sometimes those index gets corrupted and no one can help in restoring those data.

Avantages

All project management activity in one tool.
All as it is used in most of the organigation. It saves time in onbording.
Can Manage Sprints boards.

Inconvénients

Must be more user frendly.
Some time I feel creating a new task is a time conduming process.

Avantages

With JIRA you have access to a variety of tools and functions that allow you keep track of your Software Development projects. It is especially designed to work with AGILE so it is only natural that almost all IT software companies are using it.

Inconvénients

Permission management can be quite tricky sometimes.

Avantages

I love the integration with bitbucket because I can relate commits, pull requests and branches to an amount os cards on Jira, what is great for maintenability as well as for management. We use a lot JIRA together with the clients, because it's a good tool for document requisites and to validate the flow of testing and creating functionalities.

Inconvénients

I guess JIRA still need to improve their usability a lot. I believe that JIRA has a lot of functionalities that I don't use because I don't know how to and probably the feature itself was not easy to find.
Another impromevent issue is the filter plugins. We've tried once to filter cards and subcards by epic and this was just impossible without an plugin. So, when we have an project's portfolio, we have to install a lot of plugins and consequently, this have some huge impact on performance.

Avantages

Excellent feature set and extremely affordable for small development teams. Easily setup Kanban or SCRUM boards, sprints and tickets for task tracking.

For power users, offers a custom query language and tons of customization options to build a workflow that matches what works best for your team.

Inconvénients

The only thing I disliked, was the inflexibility when it comes to attaching sub-tasks and bugs to existing tasks. AzureDev Ops supports an Epic->User Story->Task->Sub Task->Bug->Test Case. JIRA only supports 3 levels (Epic->User Story or Task or Bug->Sub Task).

Avantages

Visual, real-time, fast. Great for logging, tracking and monitoring bugs and enhancements. Great search functionality. Made project management much easier with greater visibility of workload and any issues that are stuck or blocking progress.

Inconvénients

My organization tried to use JIRA for bottom-up project planning by defining features, applying estimates, linking etc. This level of deconstruction didn't always fit well with how developers work and ignored the big picture in some cases. The result was massively overestimated timelines and overwhelm for the team.

Avantages

Workflow of the task/bug/field issue creation and how easy it is track for everyone involved. Also the capability to set issue severity is great.

Inconvénients

Atlassian could work on simplifying it a bit. They are trying to do so much with a single software that they have made it unnecessarily feature rich. It could be that because I do not use those features, I am saying this but a software developer there is too much to traverse through that is not used.
