One of the best apps our there for managing dependencies (be it inter-team, cross-team, cross-ART etc). Developers are always available in order to provide support and troubleshoot any problems. Highly recommended.

Good idea but bad implementation. Very slow with large table-views.

by Brenda Charette on 2017-10-09

We recently started using Canvas for our IT Applications project management. I love having issues from all projects in one view since assignees work on issues in multiple projects. After the support team pointed me to the JQL area, I am now able to customize the boards to show exactly which issues I want to see. My biggest request at this time is the ability to customize the fields that display on the cards as well as the more info ppo-up

This looks pretty stellar, and is a good solution for users that need to categorize their things using custom columns but don't want to deal with the complexity of making a workflow. Looks like a natural fit for users coming from more simpler tools such as Trello. Since a project admin can really only customize Components, or Versions, they could potentially use these for their vertical columns to use as their custom categories. A few things that would make this thing even easier: Drag 'n drop columns (clicking move Left/Right , Up/Down takes too long), and support keyboard shortcut actions. Would be nice to show some comments, and allow adding a comment to the card but can see there might be some trade-offs in speed. Another nice-to-have would be the ability to create the card in the column category/row directly.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. It is always helpful to receive this kind of feedback, and our Product Team will definitely take your suggestions into consideration.

The plugin has been useful in reducing the # of Jira software licenses we need, as we have some users that want to see Dev tickets in a board format but don't need the sprints and releases tabs, and don't manage the Dev tickets. It's also helped in general for visually-oriented users who prefer to view things in a Trello-like board layout. The ability to change ticket field values by dragging to a different column is a huge plus. There are some features we're hoping will be available in the future, such as ability to share boards within Jira (vs needing to share a link), and being able to apply filters to the rows/columns instead of just to the issues.

Hi Anja

We really appreciate your words and your feedback. We'll keep you updated about the new features. Thanks!

by Torbjörn Richter on 2017-03-23

We are looking for a story mapping plugin and this could be an awesome alternative if just a few features were added. * possibillity to create epics and stories (or any issue) with a single click. * epic links shouldn't be the only way to get epics as columns since it requires that they are connected issues to be shown. In story mapping I want to create the epics first and have them lined up and then create stories. * summing up the total story points for each sprint. I know this is not a core story mapping plugin but it could be a good competitor if these features were implemented.

Hi Torbjorn. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, and providing us such great feedback. Your thoughts will certainly be shared with our team. Thanks!

by Geoffrey Rodgers on 2017-03-08

This plugin has amazing potential. Unfortunately, there is a lack of attention to detail in both the product and the supporting user documentation. Minor bugs make me nervous implementing our company's process with reliance on the plugin, and there are some much-needed features like being able to truly share a canvas board with JIRA groups instead of just sending a link and having each person manage his own boards. Overall, though, the matrix view makes planning so easy, and it keeps everything in JIRA, which I really like.

Thanks again!

by Lukas Heiniger on 2017-03-06

This plugin needs work. For me - The "Go Back" button doesn't work anywhere - The column order is not retained, it keeps switching back to a random order whenever I reload my board - Changing the browser window size results in erratic resizing behaviour. Sometimes the columns collapse completely. - I couldn't find a way to configure the information that is shown on each card

This is an awesome tool which provides the flexibility that Jira Boards don't allow. You can create custom views with select row and column values for different applications and save them. It's like the Issues custom searches but in a Kanban board view, which makes it a lot easier to update issues as part of a specific process. For us, once issues are marked as Done, they are pending merge until put into a release, then our QA testers see their release tasks in their own swimlanes, and transition issues that are part of that release it through the different release statuses. This tool makes the process a LOT easier. Also, their support team is very responsive and helpful when required.

Hi Charly,

Thanks so much for your review; feedback like this is very gratifying for our team. We are very glad to hear that our product seems like a good fit for your organization.

by Daniel Kollmann on 2016-01-14

The add-on makes a good first impression but you quickly hit its limitations. * The details pane does not offer an option to assign an issue if it is currently not assigned to any user. * No sort option for the row and column headers. There is a manual sorting (move up/down) but sometimes it would be nice to just change that directly. * No sort option for within the column (for example the rank field). * The manual sort (move up/down) does not seem to work with the "Unassigned" value vs existing users. * There also seems to be a visual glitch when priorities are disabled (in the field configuration) for the shown issue type. * The details pane allows you to directly change the issue type which to me is more of a liability than a positive aspect. People do stupid things when they have the chance to. It even lists all issue types even those disabled for the current project. * There is no easy way of getting a board for the active sprint besides creating a filter and board for every sprint separately. * There is a minor spelling error for the assignee field which is displayed as 'Asignee'. Overall the impression is good. It seems to integrate nicely with Agile. The main flaw for me is really the inability to assign users in the details pane when no user has been assigned before. This really reduces the usability a lot. And please let me disable changing the issue type in the details pane and fix the displayed options.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the thorough review! We are working on a way to allow you to directly assign an issue to a user, and will continue to improve that functionality. The visual glitch you mentioned when priorities are disabled, as well as the typo will be addressed in our next release, and we have added the remaining improvements to our roadmap. We will be including all of these in our upcoming versions later this year. Please let us know if you have any further feedback or ideas.

Regards,

Gorka

Pricing FAQ

How does cloud app pricing work?

Cloud apps are sold as a monthly or annual subscription. You are eligible for support and automatic version updates as long as your subscription is active.

When your subscription renews each month, you are automatically billed for apps based on the number of users in your instance.

If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.

How do I determine my cloud pricing?

Apps are billed based on the number of users in your Atlassian product. Jira Cloud apps are priced based on the maximum users of the Jira products on your instance. For example, if you have Jira Software (50 users) and Jira Service Desk (10 agents) on the same instance, you pay the 50-user price for apps.Note: While this app has features specific to Jira Service Desk, the app is technically available across the whole Jira instance. Therefore the above guidelines for licensing across maximum users still apply.

The pricing structure for cloud apps is as follows:

Monthly subscriptions with up to 10 Atlassian product users are billed at a flat rate price.
Monthly subscriptions with more than 10 users are billed per user, starting at the first user.
Monthly subscriptions with more than 100 users are billed per user. The table above provides example pricing at various user levels.

Annual subscriptions may offer a discount depending on the number of users purchased.

Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses for cloud apps?

Academic, community and open source licenses are not available for cloud apps.

Can I extend my free trial?

For cloud apps, you cannot extend your free evaluation period. All cloud apps are immediately subscribed by a user, and we provide a free evaluation period. This is a minimum of 30 days and ends on the second billing cycle after you first subscribe to the app.

Pricing FAQ

How does server app pricing work?

Server products and apps are hosted on your servers. This app is sold as a perpetual license, and the purchase price includes 12 months of maintenance (support and version updates).

You can renew maintenance after 12 months at 50% of the current purchase price. You can upgrade the tier of your Atlassian product and app licenses at any time. Upgrade prices are calculated based on Atlassian's formula (view example).

If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.

How do I determine my server pricing?

Apps are billed based on the number of users in your Atlassian product. For Jira 7.0 or later, the app tier should match the maximum tier of the licensed Jira products on your instance. For example, if you're running Jira Software (500 users) and Jira Service Desk (25 agents) on the same instance, you should purchase the 500-user tier for apps. For versions of Jira prior to 7.0, the app tier should match the licensed user tier for Jira. Even if fewer users want to use the app than your Jira license, the two licenses should match exactly. Note: While this app has features specific to Jira Service Desk, the app is technically available across the whole Jira instance. Therefore the above guidelines for the license tier still apply.

Can I install this app in a Data Center product?

This app does not have a Data Center approved version. Only apps meeting a set of performance requirements for large, clustered environments are approved for Data Center.

However, while server apps are built for single-server deployments, many customers successfully install them in Data Center products. If you're using a Data Center product, Atlassian recommends you contact the vendor to determine compatibility at scale.

Learn more about Data Center approved apps

What type of license do I need if I'm using this app in a Data Center product?

Because this app does not have a Data Center approved version, you should purchase a Server license if you decide to install this app in a Data Center product.

Learn more about Data Center licensing

Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses for server apps?

For server apps, academic licenses are available at a 50% discount if you have an academic license for your Atlassian product.

Community and open-source licenses are available for server apps. Learn more about community and open source licenses.

Can I extend my free trial?

For server apps, you can extend your app trial up to 5 times - in other words, for up to six months. Extend your trial by generating a new evaluation license key from Atlassian Marketplace. Click Try it free and you'll be directed to generate a new license. Paste this license key into the app listing in UPM from your Atlassian product, and you're all set.

How can I buy apps for my legacy Jira Server or Confluence Server license?

If you own a legacy Jira Server Unlimited (100+ users) or Confluence Server Unlimited (2000+ users) license purchased in 2012 or earlier, legacy app pricing is no longer available. You have two options for app purchasing:

Purchase the app at the non-legacy Unlimited (10000+ users) tier.
Renew your Jira or Confluence license at a non-legacy tier, then purchase the app at the same tier.
