Comparison of different Jira reporting add-ons

(2)

Atlassian's Jira is an Agile tool that supports companies of all kinds in planning tasks and resources. However, the one-size-fits-all approach doesn't always meet all individual requirements. For this reason, there are numerous add-ons on the market that expand the basic capabilities of Jira, enabling the already existing reporting functions of Jira to be expanded with several solutions.

We would like to introduce you to some of these reporting solutions from the Atlassian ecosystem to help you find the right tool for your requirements.
