Jira is a masterpiece compared to the dumpster fire that is Teams.
Maybe the old, discontinued on-premise version. The cloud version of JIRA is a huge step back.
With that said, Teams is not a good product either.
Teams is the worst product Microsoft has released since IE.
Have you heard of windows millennium?
We do not speak of that one. It was a dark time, a chaotic time. Do not utter that name so casually. Many know not of which we speak. May their souls never experience the curse of that knowledge.
There's still Jira Data Center but nobody wants to pay extra for it so instead we have to deal the the garbage that is Cloud.
I beg to differ.
I've not had a real issue with teams since the early 'new teams' release. Nor have I had issues prior.
Using Jira is actually something I dread every day.
Knowing I have to go through the list of tasks and projects, where each click means another few seconds of staring blankly at the screen as it loads.
In an age where I'm used to every interaction having a near instant reaction, using Jira feels like peeling potatoes with a butter knife.
Maybe you just don't have a reasonable comparison. We just switched from Slack and Zoom to Teams and it has significantly impacted our ability to collaborate and communicate. It's constantly dropping calls, video quality is awful, annotation is awful, the layout is wasteful with tons of wasted space, audio is terrible, there's no closed captioning visible while screen sharing, there are too many problems to list. It's the type of product I'd expect from a high school programming class, not a trillion dollar company.
As an outsider to a lot of such corporate things it sounds like they both suck a lot, just in different ways.
I never had any issues with Zoom or Slack. They do what they're supposed to do. Jira is fine too, but I'm not a PM, so I don't have to deal with anything other than the Kanban board.
Edit: I guess it's relevant that I'm on a MacBook Pro, and not a Windows machine.
I have none of these issues with Teams. Maybe your internet connection sucks?
I have gigabit internet. It doesn't suck for anything except Teams.
