Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"What I really like about this solution, is how it manages the queues, the tickets and the routing.""This is the most complete and versatile enterprise task management product and issue tracker.""Some of the most valuable features are simplicity, ease of configuration, and ease of customization.""The initial setup is pretty easy.""We get software developed faster.""This solution has helped us a great deal in project management tracking and forecasting.""The automation feature in JIRA Service Management is beneficial, and that's yet to be available in ServiceNow. ServiceNow doesn't have the flexibility to automate processes.""The most valuable features of this solution are Incident and Request Management."

"The solution is a highly mature product. Because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."

More Serviceaide ChangeGear Pros →

Cons
"Lacks an interface where the customer can report issues.""If I need a new feature, JIRA requires me to pay for all users when only specific people use that add-on. I should not have to pay for everyone, so this is an area for improvement.""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.""Include a split configuration in a layer part to allow cloud services to have almost full admin rights in SaaS.""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.""It would be better if it had capabilities to connect to mobile applications (e.g., Whatsapp)""If we can have an easier way to deploy this solution without the help of a consultant and a more reliable way of deploying procedures, it would be quite helpful.""I think the performance can be better."

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."

    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.”
