Each of these products have hundreds of thousands of users who use them daily and this has allowed Atlassian to garner a lot of goodwill from the dev community.
Pro Very cheap for small teams
Pro Supports version-focused work-flows
JIRA is not a plain long list of tickets, but can be configured to be version-focused, so planning and understanding the progress in a software project becomes clear.
Pro Great reporting tools
Jira offers amazingly powerful reporting tools like activity stream, different graphs of opened and closed issues over time etc...
Pro Available and friendly support team
The support team is always available and answer all your questions. They even take the time to help you get started if necessary and actually act on your feedback.
Pro Integrates with your other tools
Azendoo integrates with Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box and Evernote to share files and notes with your collaborators easily. The Slack and Spark integrations keeps your collaborators in the loop, while the Zapier integration offers endless possibilities to send and receive information to and from Azendoo. The email-to-task integrations allows you to send emails to Azendoo to create tasks or conversations.
Pro Threaded conversations
Unlike team chat discussions, threaded conversations help you stay on topic, allowing you to get back to it easily without losing context. Additionally, the "create a task from conversation" feature enables us to take actions from team discussions.
Pro Display tasks in list, board and calendar views
You can use the board view for the development process, the list view for bug tracking and calendar view for setting deadlines for example.
Cons
Con New releases often change the GUI largely
Sometimes the usage becomes worse, e.g. when creating a new ticket, you need to click the notification to keep it on the display.
Con Locks you inside its own ecosystem
If you use Jira you are pretty much locked inside their ecosystem. For example, if you want to add a tool to your project management stack (like a wiki) more often than not you will have to buy one of Atlassian's tools.
Con Client application support
No free client applications; IDE connector development was discontinued. Users are effectively locked into using web interface which requires context-switching.
