Common questions
Supista Projects vs Jira FAQ
What is a practical Jira alternative for cross-functional teams?
Supista Projects is a practical Jira alternative when operations, finance, procurement, service, and leadership teams need native costs, timesheets, approvals, dashboards, and configured workflows.
Does Supista Projects include Kanban and Gantt views?
Yes. Supista includes Kanban, task and subtask views, calendars, Gantt planning, WBS, dashboards, and portfolio controls by default.
When is Jira still the better choice?
Jira remains a strong choice for software teams that rely on advanced backlog, sprint, release, developer, and Atlassian ecosystem workflows.
Can Supista Projects replace Jira?
Supista can replace Jira when your required workflows fit its project planning, cost, timesheet, approval, automation, RBAC, and reporting capabilities. Validate integrations and migration needs against a real project before switching.
What can you do with the 20 hours of free customization?
The 20 hours are included once during initial setup at no extra charge. Use them to configure project and task forms, custom fields, workflows, role-based permissions, approval paths, automations, dashboards, and reports. The exact scope depends on complexity, and AI-assisted configuration can handle many ongoing changes afterward.
Does Supista Projects include project costs, timesheets, and approvals by default?
Yes. Supista combines project budgets, actual costs, timesheets, planned-versus-actual effort, and role-aware approvals in its published project plan.
