JIRA

By design JIRA can only have 1 user at a time for a given issue, but allows multiple user assignment. For instance:
Jira integrates with other apps, like Atlassian Confluence, FishEye/Crucible, Bamboo, Tempo’s project and portfolio management solutions.
Jira does offer an API.
The main users of JIRA are software and mobile app teams and project managers.
This service is generally used to track issues and bugs related to the team's software and mobile apps, but is also used for project management.
JIRA is a pure Java-based application, and supports Oracle JDK / JRE (formerly Sun JDK / JRE).
It does offer tech support, answers, and a knowledge base for users.
In this platform, I like that you can visually control many projects simultaneously. Like that you can add tickets and problems to the system very quickly and easily. With this tool, even on an intuitive level, you can easily work.
Many commands require only task management, rather than a fully integrated platform. Because of this, this platform works a little slow. The application is difficult to configure for a large team, but once you configure it, all project management works fine.
The program helps me plan the tasks that the development team will need to evaluate and do. It is very easy for me to create emails, forms, warnings and much more. The program helps us to contact teammates and supervise the entire process to solve each task.
Jira extremely powerful and has nearly endless features. The task management feature is great. Either individually or as a group, all views are helpful. I am able to track my tasks, assign people to get opinions and help, and get a quick snapshot of what I need to do on a weekly basis. It is a very user-friendly interface and it has decent reporting.
Permissions are not simple to manage: very often it will happen that a certain user lacks the permission to start or stop a sprint or to move certain issues. Many teams only need task management, not an entire fully integrated platform. Because of this, Jira also runs a bit slow sometimes.
All our team works remotely all the time and Jira helps us to keep documented and track in our daily work. Every version release is archived with the respective tickets.
I like most of all, that I allways know exactly who is responsible for a specific problem in our project. Very easy planning with it.
I liked the service, but its price for our small team is more than that of competitors.
It is also not possible to configure notifications that come to e-mail.
In addition, JILA does not have its own mobile client.
I had problems with the integration of some plug-ins, you need to simplify this
JIRA is our main contact center in our team. It's very easy for me to create emails, forms, warnings and much more, and JIRA helps us to contact and control the whole process to solve each task.
Using JIRA for last two years. Jira helped our agile team to boost productivity. Rich with features and easy to adopt tool.
Would highly recommend it for small/medium/large organizations with co located/distributed teams.
