Answer really depends on the size & culture of the organization. Clubhouse.io, Asana & PivotalTracker are nice, but a little opinionated (can be a good or bad thing depending on who you are :) ). I think where Jira really rubs people the wrong way is it's speed, particularly after someone customized it with a byzantine workflow or with dozens of views/reports and no primary source of truth for the team to use. Imagine a PM looking at one report and the dev's thinking another is "the one." A fresh Jira (Cloud verion on corp-name.atlassian.net) with out of the box Kanban board should work for most. There are some industry vertical plays out there that focus on Agency or Freelancing work.
