My Review: Open DevOps

Reviewed on 27/02/2023

Pros

The feature of Open DevOps that I enjoyed the most was its versatility. It gave me the freedom to adapt and adjust my infrastructure to meet my needs while enabling me to swiftly design, deploy, and manage cloud-based applications. Because to Open DevOps' open source nature, I had access to and control over the platform's source code, which allowed me to adapt it to my unique requirements. The platform also offers a vast selection of tools and services to facilitate and speed up development and operations. In conclusion, Open DevOps offers a practical and successful method for creating, deploying, and managing cloud-based applications.

Cons

It was a little tough for me to browse and the interface was a little perplexing. The resources and choices I required to handle my projects were hard to come by. I also thought the pricing structure was a little difficult to understand and a bit confusing.

Jira is Great for Development, but only Good for Creative

Reviewed on 14/01/2022

A great way to track deadlines between silos and especially developers.

Pros

Jira is out of the box free, and it's amazing because it works with everything by the same company. It also allows for easy organization of projects and silos, which intersect with each other. You can easily hand off tasks and allow people to collaborate.

Cons

Jira has a very development based angle, so if you're trying to manage a hybrid team, it works well. But if your team is marketing heavy, it's very anti-user friendly unless a person has familiarity with code or databases. It's just sparse and less user friendly.

We started using JIRA because it was the industry standard and most of our developers used it before. It has a lot of quirks though and I wouldn't really recommend it.

Pros

Once set up, it is easy to use and offers a lot of options to customize it to our processes.

Cons

JIRA is very difficult to set up and configure correctly. Support is inexistent. In one instance, an issue got deleted by some JIRA quirk, we lost all billable time tracking associated to the issue and JIRA never even tried to investigate or let us know what happened or what we could do about it. There are also outages on a regular basis or parts of the system not working, or working differently for members of the same team.

Overall it's a good product. It does alot more than you would think. We have even used some of the templates it comes with to develop our own internal processes.

Pros

I like the ability to control workflow, tasks and resources. It's a great way to keep a team organized and on schedule. Integrates nicely with other development tools and has an easy to use interface. Most users coming from other similar tools can hop right in.

Cons

We are currently still using Dev Ops for our repositories. This tool needs the ability to push and store changes and versions of files.

I have used Jira in a few projects and every time it proved to be a reliable and productive solution. Mostly we use Jira to keep track of our developer's time in the Kanban board. It is a great tool that allows the developers to actually show us how hard they work and what tasks they tackled. Jira has increased productivity in all projects I used it in.

Pros

Tracking tasks is a time consuming effort, and one that is easy to forget. Luckily, there is Jira. Jira lets you track your tasks and time spent on them without encroaching on your day. It is easy to set up (once you know what you are doing), easy to use, and a delight to look at. It provides the time tracking and issue tracking tools that any serious project requires.

Cons

It is hard to set up the first time. You need to know which functions you need and which you should remove. But once you set it up and know how it works, it is a treat to work with it.

It is undoubtedly the best thing ever introduced for project managers! For developers like us, it saves us a lot of headache to do things systematically, rather than spending time on Excel sheets.

Pros

Perfect for resource management and issue tracking, good for project managers to find out where the team is spending maximum time and helps in bandwidth allocation, understanding team velocity. With the Atlassian Suite, Jira + Confluence is a deadly duo.

Cons

Very slow! The dashboards are not fast. Also, for milestone tracking, percentage completion is not very well implemented as well as time spent does not get that much of visibility.

Pros

The scrums boards are a delight to the heart while beginning each day of work. Work of software developers has become easy. Workloads can be fitted in a scrum board to manage the tasks effectively. It gives a view to keep a check on the completeness of individual work.

I've had a mostly positive experience with JIRA, however there are a few things that JIRA could be doing better given the relatively high price tag--I would like to be able to do more customized reports/dashboards, and I would like to be able to create JIRA filters with stronger capabilities

Pros

Ease of use for both business (access mostly front-end reports, dashboards & Confluence) and developers (access mostly JIRA boards)

Cons

I'm currently trying to work with our developers to integrate Azure DevOps (where the code is housed) to JIRA in order to track code and link code with JIRA stories that are worked on. The apps to do this in the JIRA app store aren't great and we're encountering more issues than we expected. It seems as though JIRA integrates with a (soon-to-be) outdated version (might be using the wrong words) of Azure DevOps that my team no longer uses.

We use Jira as a kanban/agile project management tool in software development. The workflow is well understood by most developers and onboarding new team members into our system is a breeze. It is good at tracking projects and managing sprints.

Pros

As an SDLC management tool it excels. It's designed from the ground up for tracking user stories, tasks, epics, sprints, etc. in large organizations. It is excellent for cross functional team collaboration and really shines in a mature environment that doesn't change frequently or quickly. It is continuously improving and it is obvious that the JIRA team is very proactive and dedicated to staying ahead of the competition in features and services.

Cons

It is overkill for smaller teams or products that are very early in their life. When projects and teams are very dynamic, Jira projects become bloated, cumbersome, and fragmented. This product really is suited for larger, mature organizations that already have strong procedural discipline and rather monolithic approval/decision making. I know it's supporting agile methodology but really it's rigidness is more aligned with waterfall type management.

Fantastic Tool that is ESSENTIAL for Agile

Since Jira has been introduced, it has allowed the company coming closer together and break down the previous silos that were prevalent for quite some time. This assisted the architects, UI/UX engineers, developers, testers, and all of management/leadership to take a peek at different parts of the entire overall lifecycle of development. Automated scripts took this a step further which allowed reports to be generated and key points to be communicated across. I believe this tool or any other tool will suffice for your Agile needs however Jira is considered one of the more widely used and best tools available.

Pros

Jira is an essential tool that will greatly improve traceability, task management, and planning for any organization. It is incredibly intuitive when it comes to the reports that may be generated for any user. Giving the business greater control and vision into the finer details of each day (if process is followed by users), a company or organization can drill down into details of what teams and resources are working on. You can step back a level and see overall features and implementations to be delivered by any set of teams/individuals. It truly is a well thought out tool with lots of available customization.

Cons

One thing I've always disliked about Jira is the lack of UI customization such as applying themes or having certain sections stand out more than others. You will see much of the UI is plain and ambiguious. I am not sure if this is customizable from a different permissioned user however, I have never seen the ability to have a nicer looking interface from my accounts within my organizations. Yes it is much more powerful but lacks creativity in UI design.

I have been using Jira for over six months now and it's one of the best product management tools I've ever used. As a backend developer, I spend most of my time on Jira, whether it be creating issues or following up on them. It has a lot of essential features that help me manage my tasks as well as keep track of all the new features we've implemented and the work that our team is doing. It is also great for communicating with my team. I can prioritize tasks by dragging and dropping them into different areas of the board so everyone knows what to take care of next and when it's time to discuss something, we can easily find it on the board without scrolling all over Jira.

Pros

Jira got all the features we need, and we can get up and running in no time. I love how they've tackled complicated processes like reporting, budget management, and customer feedback in a way that's easy to understand.

Cons

I like that Jira is easy to use and allows me to prioritize tasks quickly. I also like that I can create subtasks within a task. I don't particularly appreciate that the software is not user-friendly. It takes time to learn how to navigate through and get comfortable with the interface.

We have been using Atlassian Jira and other Atlassian products in our project for more than 3 years now. Its been a pillar for us to track overall project journey, right from tracking small subtasks to huge milestones. This tool is best for scrum master to have a single screen shared during scrum calls and thats enough. This tool is been used here as a multi-purpose tool for agile development, project management, collaboration, issue/bug tracking, backlogs and development tracking. So I would say this is one of my favourite tool while working in this DevOps culture and I would definitely recommend to have this tool in each project lifecycle.

Pros

1. Supports Issue tracking, task management, project management and collaboration.
2. Easy to create user stories, divide into sub tasks, track the progress of the tasks, label, categorize and prioritise tasks and we can get a complete picture of project goals.
3. Supports different reporting such as burn down/up charts, velocity charts, estimation, etc.
4. Out of the box many integrations, including atlassian confluence and bitbucket integration.
5. Highly customisable dashboards and supports sprints and kanban boards.
6. Task notifications and linking of tasks to other dependent tasks.

Cons

1. Sometimes it takes very long time to refresh/load the board.
2. Quite a learning curve since lot of features and sometimes becomes complex for new users. So initially its kind of time consuming to put efforts in learning the tool.
3. Sometimes get unknown token error and then we have to reload a page.

My Overall experience in JIRA is 3 years at this point and we started using it from the Year 2016. This is used in an project called recovery with the count of 25 developers from India/USA/Canada and several business end users on the same. The stiry was easily created and went thruough several phases till deployment. I would say JIRA ease my works in managing the stories since I am the PO for whole board and connecting developers/business end users for moving the stories and completing the same.

Pros

Basically there are lot of likes about this software:

1. Clear Tracking of what is going on in the project along with version needs to be deployed.
2. Ability to Use Kanban, Scrum and other Agile methodologies in JIRA Software.
3. Ability to flag the stories which is in impediment which will show to everyone on when it was started and when it was impended.
4. Easily keep tracking of Backlog for future works and deployments that needs to be made.
5. Ability to bulk update the stories for certain categories like version, points or any others.
6. Easy in terms of reporting to generate using JQL (JIRA query language).

Cons

Some of the cons in JIRA are:

1. Some times it was ended with deadlock leads to slowness. This happens when certain users running the report across the JIRA.
2. Security is less since we can see any ones board and get to know the statuses across the enterprise.
3. JIRA is costly since it per user licenses and whole organisation have to pay according to the usages.

I've been using JIRA since I got my first corporate job, and while I saw it improve in many areas there are some other ones that seems to be totally neglected, but worst, looks like management is decided to push down your throat stuff to force you use the app in the way they want you to use it.

By far the worst thing I see is the need to learn its query language in order to fully leverage the awesome functionality that the search feature has. Second, it's absolutely developer oriented so using it for Ops has a lot of friction.

All in all, while I'm very used to it since I've been learning its ways - and quirks - through the years, I'd like to have the opportunity in the future to work with something different as JIRA, with all its goodness, never really cut it for me.

Pros

- Everything-and-the-kitchen-sink approach that caters almost all enterprise users.
- Fully extensible through plugins
- Allows deeply integrations within different teams
- Without doubt, helps boost productivity

Cons

- Some of the best features are hard to find
- This is the worst one: there's no way to leverage the fully potential of the Search functionality without learning it's own querying language -- which is totally nuts because this should be dead simple to use
- The iOS companion could have some love by extending the application functionality. In it's current state, besides some light editing, it is mostly a view-only app, which makes it unusable when you're away from your computer

Jira has helped us with the following:

- Tracking issues at all levels, from task to epic
- Maintaining a prioritised backlog
- Allocating work to development sprints and developers
- Tracking work assignment to releases

It needs work in terms of usability but is really powerful and has helped significantly.

Pros

Jira is a one stop shop for tracking all issues we're working on, from bugs and tasks, to users stories and epics. The tool can be customised lots so can easily be set up to suit your team's needs - different fields, workflows etc. It's been a crucial part of ensuring that all requirements are captured, not lost and that our development, testing and release activity is smoothly managed.

Confluence is a great part of Jira too and has replaced clunky document management on cloud based storage solutions or, even worse, someone's desktop..

Cons

I feel that Jira is not the most user friendly. It took a long time to become really comfortable with it. There are a fair few inconsistencies throughout the system too - e.g. releases can be called releases, versions, fix versions... little things like this just make it a bit harder to adopt.

While Jira is a reasonably complete solution, my team still finds themselves reverting to spreadsheets and capturing info outside of Jira from time to time.

Overall it is beat suited for an Agile development team to track their stories being completed smoothly in a sprint cycle if your team follows Sprint SDLC.

Pros

It is easy to customize your own team board for managing the user stories/bugs during a Sprint. It helps to keep the development team and Product team on the same page about the progress of the sprint. It is easy for the product team to view the history of a ticket and tag people in their comments if they have any update or questions. The flow of ticket and child-tasks across the board from "To-Do" to "Done" is very easy. You can create your own dashboard and offers built-in bar graphs or pie chart demonstration. The mobile version is smooth to use as well. Defect management is very easy. It's integration with TestRail, Confluence, Octopus and TeamCity works like a charm for the need of my project.

Cons

The UI gets a bit overwhelmed because it tries to display all your columns in a single landscape view. Accessing an old completed story or a closed story can be a pain.

Unfortunately this software has a very granular experience. This can be great for developers, but the many steps in the process of collaboration and completion can provide a steep learning curve to new project managers.

I've worked with Jira for two and a half years as a software developer. The engagement with the team and manager is great, it was always very easy to pick up a task and work on its flow through the development process.

Pros

Jira offers a great task management for the team with a nice and clean visibility. The project flow is very easy to manage and see what is done and what is left to do.

Cons

At the beginning it can be a lot hard to navigate and learn the flows, sometimes there is too much information on screen.
