@sandeepsai , I've seen similar discussions here at the community before. Perhaps, it may be helpful for you to begin looking at the following links:

• JiraPortfolio vs BigPicture 
• How does the Big Picture add on differ from JIRA Portfolio 
• BigPicture vs. Portfolio for Jira. Two Giants compared 
• Sizing up Portfolio for Jira and BigGantt for project management

Hi Ivan,

we are currently using Portfolio for jira, and evaluating if we can use Big Picture but still confused, can you suggest something on this ?
we are a big organization and want to know - is bigpicture is good for large organization ? 

Regards.

@sandeepsai , I would say that it depends on your use case but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be. Typically, you can have a very good idea looking at the Atlassian Marketplace information such as the number of active instances the app has been installed, whether or not it is a featured app, labelled as a staff pick, reviews, etc.

Also, most vendors provide a demo of their products. I would go ahead and try reaching out to them to see whether they can do a demo for you. 😉

Hi @sandeepsai and @Ivan Lima 

The live demo version of BigPicture, as well as weekly live demo sessions, are available here https://softwareplant.com/demo/. Also, several youtube videos were recorded lately, to be googled ('bigpicture demo webinar').

Is BigPicture appropriate for a big enterprise? It has always been, but BigPicture 8 (to debut in May 2020) brings entirely new qualities for large organizations:

- Boxes (true portfolio management) that let you maintain, say, 20 or 200 waterfall or hybrid projects, together with another 200 agile projects, and observe a single progress bar representing all of the projects (products). You can drill the progress down to any underlying level.

- you'll be able to connect 'tools the team love', such as Trello, to a BigPicture's project so that teams can keep their beloved software.

Upgrading to BigPicture 8 is free, from any previous version, for those who have a current subscription. We'll love to have you in the BigPicture community.
