Zephyr tries hard, but falls short

Likeliness to Recommend

6 /10

What differentiates Zephyr from other similar products?

It's directly integrated into Jira (Zephyr for jira cloud) instead of a separate instance altogether. This tightens the integration.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The product sits on top of Jira (Zephyr for Jira Cloud) so it's very familiar to use

What do you dislike most about this product?

They simply do not innovate fast enough. I suggested many enhancements that would make my job much easier, and many others echoed the same sentiments in their support/forums, but they take forever to release new functionality

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Really evaluate all ALMs on the market - XRay, TestRail, etc

Pros

Reliable
Performance Enhancing
Enables Productivity
Trustworthy

Cons

Inhibits Innovation
Slower Product Innovation
Vendor Friendly Policies
