We performed a comparison between Hornbill Systems Supportworks and JIRA Service Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's business process flow is quite strong. Its reporting is quite good. The standard, basic ITSM functionality like call logging and call flow, for example, are areas the solution really excels in."
"JIRA Service Management is a very user-friendly solution."
"It makes the IT department more transparent and helps the employees."
"In Jira Service Management, the most beneficial features are process improvement, workflows, and escalations."
"Easily integrates with other tools."
"Provides excellent management features."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"With Jira Service Desk, the simplicity of setting up a quick form and getting the service desk running quickly is very helpful."
"One of the valuable features is that an automatic response or action can be taken on tickets."
"It's worked well for us for a significant period of time. However, we are kind-of outgrowing it at the moment. We're struggling a bit with making it meet our requirements."
"Usability needs improvement. To configure it, you need to be well versed in Jira administration. It's not very intuitive."
"A lot of users have said that they want a feature that was on the on-prem version of Jira and the vendor can't deliver. They're either unwilling or unable to give feature parity."
"The reporting function of this solution, particularly the filters in the portal, could be improved."
"The queries are weak and lack advanced functionality. You can do rudimentary queries, but you can't aggregate. You can't filter for a lot of things that would be useful, so you need to use plugins to write writing advanced queries. I run into problems when working with different organizations because they always have restrictions on what kind of plugins they allow."
"The solution should be more formalized. It could be more user-friendly."
"The way it handles subtasks can be improved. We would really like the ability to have different types of subtasks. If we have a user story for a feature, we would like to have a subtask for documentation, a subtask for requirements, a subtask for development, and a subtask for testing. Right now, we just make four subtasks, but there is no way to specify their type, so we have to add a custom field to specify what type of work is this. It just means you've got to look at more data. For logging time or time tracking, we would like to have something using which we can define the work type we're doing. We would like to log whether we're working on a bug, a new development, scope change, or rework. We've got a user story for which we do the dev, and then we have to do more dev. It is the same story, but some of it could have been a scope change, and some of it could be a rework because we either screwed up the first time or missed something obvious. Currently, we have to have a custom field and track that separately. It would be nice to have some kind of work type for logging time."
"I think the performance can be better."
"The price is a point of contention for me. It does overall work out as a significant amount of money that will be spent over a shorter period of time."
