Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Easy to use and user-friendly.""The platform is easy to use.""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.""Easily integrates with other tools.""I like the history, the dimensioning, and how I can configure a space based on my preferences or the project circumstances.""The links between the help desk and Jira issues and between Confluence and Jira issues are most valuable. I can write requirements in Confluence and link them to user stories in Jira and test cases. I can see my test coverage and all that kind of stuff. The integration between these three is very useful. It is pretty customizable, and it integrates well. There are a lot of add-ins and a lot of connectors to third-party products. In my last company, we used Test Royal for managing all the tests, and it integrated perfectly with that. For any issue or bug, we could see what tests have been run and the complete history of the tests.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its SLA, which everybody wants when it comes to a service-based offering.""I like the precise ticket management capabilities. JIRA Service Management is easy to use as well."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation.""Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred.""The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation.""VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process.""The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages."

Cons
"JIRA protects the end-user, but for the configuration, more rules could be added to improve the workflow.""The product does not have the capability to sort queued tickets by product. This would be useful in making workflows more efficient.""I feel that Atlassian isn't really interested in fixing everything because if they did, the partners that are developing the fixes and features would not have a place in the market.""The pricing could be better.""It would be better if it had capabilities to connect to mobile applications (e.g., Whatsapp)""Include a split configuration in a layer part to allow cloud services to have almost full admin rights in SaaS.""The search function could be improved. We have to search a certain way. There is no generic search; it is more object-oriented search.""Field addition and removal features are not very intuitive in JIRA Service Management."

"Should have more YouTube webinars.""There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert.""The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use.""At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap.""The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."

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."

    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.”

    Make expensive service outages a thing of the past. Remediate issues faster, reduce on-call burnout and keep your services up and running.
    Identify the person with the right experience and expertise to work on any incident. Plus, streamline on-call schedules and escalations.
