    Chose Atlassian Jira
    Jira is simple, easy to understand, has less learning curve, highly descriptive features. All these features make it easy to work and manage and track our day-to-day work for better progress. All these features make Jira give an upper hand over other tools.

    Chose Atlassian Jira
    Jira is the "default" do-everything software project management platform. It literally does everything, but consequently does nothing particularly well. That said, it is robust enough to compete with enterprise heavyweights like Rally, and (usually) easy and light enough to …

    Chose Atlassian Jira
    I personally use Trello to keep track of personal stuff and used it as a task management tool for very small development teams/projects, but Jira is a million miles ahead of it regarding a number of options and customizations. I also used Rally on a previous company and …

    Chose Atlassian Jira
    Jira Software is considered perfect when it comes to handling a software team which might need an advanced agile functionality as well as structured workflow wherein Trello could be quick in terms of capturing or sharing the ideas or lists or to-do's. Jira has a better UI and …

    Chose Atlassian Jira
    Though with JIRA you need to buy a lot of plugins but it is still cheaper than HP ALM or HPE Octane which is very costly. HP QC is a fully functional software lifecycle tool and probably strongest in its test management capabilities. But in Agile we don't need that extensive …

    Chose Atlassian Jira
    JIRA was already in place; there wasn't a good reason to switch to something else. We just needed to work on refining our processes and clean up the existing structure so that we could make progress on our SDLC while getting our MVP out the door. If you are really starting …

    Chose Atlassian Jira
    Liked JIRA because of its tight knit integration with other Altasin products. Also, email notification is just spot on.

    Chose Atlassian Jira
    Previously I have used TFS and Rally. JIRA is very simple to use and has lots of features compared to these two and other tools available in the market. The ability to integrate other tools is much easier in JIRA. It is also robust, scalable and has a good number of add-ons to …

    Chose Rally Software
    Rally and Asana have comparable features and are both valuable project management tools, but Asana's user interface is well-organized and highly intuitive. It's easy to add tasks and collaborators, edit due dates, indicate progress on tasks, close out projects, etc. However, …

    Chose Rally Software
    Overall, Rally Software is a better and more powerful tool than Jira for the same exact purposes. Jira cannot function as a requirements repository so it needs plugins or separate tools to do the same thing. There is no space or option to see all defects or user stories or …

    Chose Rally Software
    Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) & through Test Management were two critical factors that lead to selection of CA Agile Central (formerly Rally).

    Executives want to maintain trace-ability & detailed test management options like we get in ALM along with SAFe implementation support. …

    It was a close race between Jama, JIRA and Rally. We decided to go for Jama as a requirements management tool and use Rally for Agile projects. The cost was another factor that made us select Rally.

    Chose Rally Software
    We used CA Agile Central (formerly Rally) before but recently switched to JIRA. I used JIRA before Rally too, and I think it was easier to manage defects in JIRA. Also, I think JIRA is better for teams and companies that want to implement agile/scrum life cycles. It's easier to …

    Chose Rally Software
    We started exploring new tools, and found better adaptation of our team toward JIRA. JIRA provided engineers with simpler interfaces and more reliable service, even though less unnecessary features. Also the managers found in JIRA better ability to eliminate noise and focus on …
