I've heard that Jira is such a Swiss Army knife that your experience with it is extremely influenced by how it is configured. If it was poorly thought out and configured then you will hate it.
- swsieber 10y agoI'd say that's probably a fair assessment. I'd also wager that on-premise vs. cloud hosted (given that two of the points of the original story talked about speed). Though you could group that into configuration.
- berntb 10y agoOK, I'll buy that... it is not me, it is the administrator(s).
- acdha 10y agoThat's my take as well: the good/bad thing about systems like Jira is that they're so customizable and will thus increasingly mirror your underlying organizational culture. In a well-run organization that's great but people who work somewhere which is struggling might actually find an odd advantage to something like GitHub Issues in the sense that the lack of customization prevents the otherwise inevitable accretion of complexity.
- marcosdumay 10y ago> your experience with it is extremely influenced by how it is configured When I hear something like that about a product, my first instinct is to run away. I already know plenty of programming languages, I do not need a Turing complete interpreter with an arcane language added to it.
