Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The customer portal allows users to register tickets themselves.""Jira lets us customize the workflow to meet our requirements. The email and alert features are also handy.""It's easy to set up the solution.""This is the most complete and versatile enterprise task management product and issue tracker.""Service Management is great if you're an Atlassian shop already using JIRA for the development team and you want another tool for help desk ticketing. When it's all under the same umbrella, I can easily take a ticket from the help desk and move it to the development team. You can't beat that integration between two products.""This is a flexible tool for logging and tracking issues efficiently.""Jira Service Management has a workflow feature you can configure for your specific requirements. It also lets you efficiently manage service requests with team members.""The most valuable features of this solution are Incident and Request Management."

"The product has the best features for ITSM.""It was easy to access and fast. Our experience using it solely as a ticketing tool. We used fetch reports from the tool, particularly with regard to SLA tracking for our partners.""The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it.""SummitAI IT Management Suite's chat box feature has reduced our service discount, and because it's intelligent, the responses that go out to the users have improved, and the resolutions are much faster."

Cons
"If JIRA were more of a substantial stand-alone product that covered more needs for project management, we wouldn't be using a suite of products.""The main issue with this solution is there's no limited subscription available for plugins we only use for a few people. If we only have a team of twenty using a plugin, we still have to purchase a subscription for the whole 200 users.""We have a lot of add-ons, however, instead of the add-ons, for example, cloning could be better.""Usability needs improvement. To configure it, you need to be well versed in Jira administration. It's not very intuitive.""Lacks an interface where the customer can report issues.""The interface could always be updated and improved.""They need to work on the speed of Jira.""I rate Atlassian support two out of 10. It takes a lot of time to reach them and get ahold of someone who understands my problem enough to provide a solution. Also, I live in Israel, so my work week is Sunday through Thursday, but I can only contact them from Monday to Wednesday."

"There could be flexibility in terms of customization.""I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now.""Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI.""SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Costs are about $50 per user per year. JIRA is sold in user tiers of 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 2000, 10,000, and unlimited users. It is bad when you have 51 users then the price is based on that 100 user tier. Users at 100 will be the most cost effective."
  • "JIRA Service Desk has different pricing as it is based on agents. On average, the price is about $300 per agent."
  • "Do not forget to calculate add-on costs. These cost a percentage of the JIRA purchasing costs and are based on the number of JIRA users."
  • "Buying a software solution is only a half part of the solution (or even less). You need to optimize usage of the software by hiring professionals who will help you to make the most of the software, especially in the beginning."
  • "I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
  • "But about the plugins, I found one plug-in — its name is Actionable Metric I think — and it is $3000. That is very expensive for users in Iran."
  • "Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
  • "It's not really expensive, especially when you compare to ServiceNow or other solutions, and it's not expensive to maintain."
  • More JIRA Service Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We have a regular license."
  • "SummitAI IT Management Suite's pricing is a bit expensive."
  • "The product's cost is average."

    Reviews from Real Users

    JIRA Service Management stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Some of these include its stability, its easy customization, and its seamless integration with other solutions. PeerSpot users take note of the advantages of these features in their reviews:

    Abhishek S., a Program Lead at PureSoftware, writes of the solution, “You can scale the solution whether it is deployed to the cloud or the data center. While we might have up to 5,200 people using the solution, we do not require that many licenses, as only those dealing with the tickets are required to be licensed.”

    Andrew B., a Technical Engineer at a consultancy firm, notes, “One of the valuable features is that an automatic response or action can be taken on tickets. We can have certain responses for tickets that contain keywords or are logged and tagged with certain labels.”
