- Customization: Jira offers extensive customization options to tailor workflows, fields, and issue types to match specific project requirements, whereas Azure DevOps has limited customization capabilities, primarily focusing on Agile methodologies.
- Scalability: Azure DevOps is well-suited for small to medium-sized teams with simpler project requirements, whereas Jira is more scalable and can handle complex projects with large teams, multiple workflows, and extensive reporting needs.
- Cost: Azure DevOps pricing is typically more straightforward and cost-effective, especially for smaller teams, while Jira can become significantly more expensive, particularly as more users and advanced features are added.
- User Interface: Jira offers a more user-friendly and visually appealing interface with better navigation and organization of project data, while Azure DevOps interface is functional but can feel cluttered and overwhelming, especially for new users.
- Reporting and Analytics: Jira provides robust reporting and analytics capabilities, with customizable dashboards and extensive tracking options, while Azure DevOps reporting features are more basic and may require additional tools for in-depth analysis.

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.
