Zoho Projects vs JIRA Software Cloud
As on March 01,2016
JIRA focuses on software issue tracking and the whole project management system
was built around this. We have seen, those not familiar with this environment find it
complicated. Here’s what one of our customers has to say.
Jira tested, this tool is a monster. And I fear too monstrous for our
projects. Zoho Projects remains number one.
