Jira vs ZenHub: What are the differences?
What is Jira? 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..
What is ZenHub? Agile Project Management inside GitHub. ZenHub is a lightweight browser extension that adds a powerful set of features directly into GitHub's UI.
Jira belongs to "Issue Tracking" category of the tech stack, while ZenHub can be primarily classified under "Kanban for GitHub Issues".
"Powerful" is the top reason why over 294 developers like Jira, while over 71 developers mention "Don't have to leave github" as the leading cause for choosing ZenHub.
According to the StackShare community, Jira has a broader approval, being mentioned in 2090 company stacks & 1470 developers stacks; compared to ZenHub, which is listed in 50 company stacks and 23 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.
