The platform is robust for multiple use cases. We found usage for our team across multiple teams and this was the only platform we found usable in spite of trying out and reviewing multiple tools. We really liked that the advanced features aren’t all upfront and causing overwhelm. It is masked in a way that a power user comfortable with the tool can then access them when needed.
Jira is a project management tool that has been around for more than 2 decades now. It is a software built to be easily configurable to any workflow.
Then why go for 5day.io? Because all the customization has actually made Jira difficult to use. Layers of integrations and cluttered UI make the workflows convoluted. Developers often spend hours per week updating their tasks, rather than focusing on work.
5day.io is a Jira software alternative built by keeping end-users in mind. It has intuitive features that mimic your work style with a clean interface that doesn’t require weeks of onboarding or a dedicated admin to manage.
Jira is built in a way that can unintentionally promote a culture micro-tracking, with requests needed for every small action. 5day.io has features like custom roles and permissions that empower every team member to work with complete flexibility.
Jira is a legacy tool, where many important features like time tracking, and communication on task level are available as integrations. 5day.io is a comprehensive work management tool where you can manage projects, create tasks, maintain timesheets, and collaborate all under one tool.
Jira offers regional support for standard plans and all-time support in critical cases for premium plans. Only enterprise companies get full time support on all issues. At 5day.io, all clients get dedicated customer support 24/7, no questions asked.
Excessive features in Jira increases the time it takes a user to adopt the product. 5day.io has only the essential features, it is user-friendly and intuitive which makes it easier for teams to get started.
