How to read the Emotional Footprint
The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

What differentiates Jira from other similar products?
In my view, it is Jiras support for agile project management practices. Personally , I am of the opinion that Jira is built with agile project management in mind and therefore my aforementioned point is no surprise. Whether I plan on utilizing Scrum or Kanban project frameworks, Jira provides templates and boards which can be readily customized to fit the unique project needs of my team.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Jira has some of the best reporting capability of any agile-facing project management software that I have ever used in my professional journey. With report types like issue analysis , time tracking report, user workload report, version workload report etc Jira makes the process of spotting project blockages a lot easier and thus allows me to plan smarter sprints either during the planning phase of product development or after shipping the product ( product completion phase ).
What do you dislike most about this product?
Jira setup is usually confusing for non-technical users and I am assuming this is a well known fact within organizations where Jira is adopted. In-built collaboration tools are limited as well.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Jira is one of the most proven software tools for aligning software project processes to team end goals.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Security Protects
