As a small PM team where we do not yet use any portfolio tool except various spreadsheets and documents, and where all of our teams are using Jira backlogs, we have been seriously investigation Jira Portfolio and found it very interesting and most probably our prefered tool in the near future.

We more recently discovered Aha! and realised it was very good as well and very much equivalent but we were wondering for the challenge on the integration level in both direction with the Jiras backlogs.

I found several discussion here and about the integration learning, steps etc ... several topics on the Aha! usage, but none really on the Jira Portfolio and less trying to compare the 2 together. I found this Reddit topic on it which again is very much on the integration aspects.

At the end of the day, I'm not searching for a revolution on the PM side, since I'm sure we'll need many doc still in future, but my main goal are to:

manage new ideas, turn some into a product roadmap and to priorities those roadmap

get those roadmaps easy to be found & understood by the for stakeholders

get those release into the engineering backlog and get new items from the backlog up into the roadmap as well

get the visibility into the teams’ progress to keep our plans up-to-date and play some scenarios

I'm pretty sure that I might get some users for Aha: and some for the Portfolio, but I wanted to see still if there would be experience to collect.

I guess that there are also many other tools that are more Project or Program Management tools and less Portfolio ones.

Thank you in advance.
