Jira vs Zube: What are the differences?
Developers describe Jira as "The #1 software development tool used by agile teams to plan, track, and release great software". Jira's secret sauce is the way it simplifies the complexities of software development into manageable units of work Jira comes out-of-the-box with everything agile teams need to ship value to customers faster.. On the other hand, Zube is detailed as "Project management for your GitHub issues". Zube's a project management platform that syncs with GitHub issues in real time. Zube has a kanban / scrum board that's designed for developers, a powerful issue manager for team leads, and a ticketing system for the entire team.
Jira can be classified as a tool in the "Issue Tracking" category, while Zube is grouped under "Kanban for GitHub Issues".
"Powerful" is the primary reason why developers consider Jira over the competitors, whereas "Great visual interface" was stated as the key factor in picking Zube.
According to the StackShare community, Jira has a broader approval, being mentioned in 2090 company stacks & 1470 developers stacks; compared to Zube, which is listed in 7 company stacks and 3 developer stacks.
Last time we shared there information about our decision about using YouTrack over Jira actually we found much better solution that our team have loved. Linear is a minimalistic issue tracker that integrates well with Sentry, GitHub, Slack and Figma which are our basic tools. I would like to recommend checking out Linear as a potential alternative to "heavy" issue trackers, maybe at enterprises that may not work but when we're a startup that works awesome!
YouTrack feels much more lightweight than Jira and additionally have all of features that Jira have, of course lacks at some analytics features, but it's more powerful at permission management and agile workflow. Additionally YouTrack have awesome integration with other JetBrains products such as incoming JetBrains Space and all other IDEs such as GoLand.
