I love how the automated field data roll-up engine is an absolute standout capability of BigPicture. It seamlessly aggregates technical metrics like remaining estimates and story points, providing an instant overall summary of high-level initiatives through our custom hierarchy.

This is Maritn,sales from Atlassian Platinum Partners.Our clients often require visual project management tools and flexible functionality to adapt to various management modes. BP is excellent in this area and can achieve cross project resource allocation and monitoring. It can build dedicated Gantt chart panels by department to facilitate internal scheduling for vertical functional department management. It can also detect uneven resource allocation issues in a timely manner and make quick adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It needs a long time of learning to flexibly use him, and his permission control requirements are very high. In addition, his price is relatively high compared to other products, with a significant increase in price in recent years. We try our best to explain the value of the product, but there are still some customers who give up purchasing due to cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I truly appreciate the flexibility and value that BigPicture offers, especially in the context of the financial sector. It has allowed us to abandon traditional tools like Microsoft Project and use Gantt charts and the flexibility of Jira for more centralized and efficient project management. It is very easy to set up, practically plug and play, which makes it easy for anyone to start benefiting from it without much initial knowledge. It is extremely powerful thanks to BigPicture boxes that allow information to be grouped at multiple levels, reducing cognitive load and helping to manage more than 800 projects online. I highly value the functionality of the Gantt chart, which is quite comprehensive, and the ability to manage individual capacity including schedule and vacation planning, as well as automated alerts to prevent work overload. The combination of BigPicture with Jira and Google Calendar seems to me an unbeatable solution for managing waterfall-type projects, which would definitely encourage me to recommend it. Finally, the use of the BigPicture API has allowed us to perform automations and offer customized solutions, which is tremendously beneficial for our operations.

BigPicture assists me in organizing my Jira projects much like MS Project does. I find it easy to share updates in real time with both stakeholders and the development team, which helps ensure I never lose track of urgent tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Configuring permissions becomes increasingly challenging as your team expands and you introduce more diverse roles. Furthermore, it would be helpful if licensing could be divided between read-only users and collaborators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that it supports both Agile and waterfall methodologies, so teams using different approaches can still plan and track work in a unified view. The drag and drop interface for scheduling and task adjustments feels smooth and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can feel a bit heavy and slow, especially with large datasets. The initial setup and configration also take time to get right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This plugin used to be problematic, buggy and slowing our instance down. However over the last couple of years it has become reliable, to the point now where it has become a critical part of our project management approach. Improvements keep coming, and I have found the support (despite timezone differences) excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
