XAGOe vs Jira
Jira is the go-to tool for planning and tracking software and project work. XAGOe builds business applications, such as CRM, recruiting and purchasing, with their own data, stages and screens.
Choose Jira if

- Your teams already live in Jira and Confluence.
- You rely on its developer tool integrations and marketplace apps.
Choose XAGOe if
- The process isn't project work: hiring, sales, purchasing, assets or support.
- You need records that aren't issues, like candidates, vendors or orders, linked to each other.
- You want the people who run the process to change it themselves, without a Jira admin.
