Why are Jira users searching for alternatives?
Agile tools like Jira are powerful, but for many teams, they’re more than they need. Here are the top reasons teams are making the switch and instead looking for software similar to Jira but without the steep learning curve:
- Overly complex for non-technical teams
- Long onboarding and setup times
- Requires extensive configuration or plugins
- Hard to manage for small to mid-sized teams
- Rigid workflows that limit flexibility
- Not ideal for time tracking or task-level visibility
Why ProWorkflow is the best Jira alternative
So, what is better than Jira? ProWorkflow’s project management software offers the clarity, speed, and support teams need to stay focused on the work, not the tool.
Designed for teams beyond developers
Jira is built for software developers. ProWorkflow is designed for everyone, including project managers, team members, and collaborators across various industries, such as marketing, operations, agencies, construction, professional services, and more.
ProWorkflow’s intuitive interface is simple and visual, letting you plan, manage, and collaborate with minimal training and without needing to learn a new technical language.
Built-in time tracking and quoting
Unlike Jira, ProWorkflow comes with the ability to track key metrics, including native time tracking, quoting, and invoicing, so you don’t have to rely on external plugins to bill for your work.
Real-time task and project visibility
To help manage projects, ProWorkflow provides a live overview of all tasks, timelines, and workloads in a single screen, unlike Jira’s fragmented views and complex board setup.
