JIRA Service Management Scalability

MA
Director of ERP Systems at Clesen Wholesale

I never had any performance concerns. Currently, there are two of us who are using this solution, and we are developers. Ultimately, there will probably be ten of us. The other members are going to be the members of the ERP implementation team. They are subject matter experts in each department.

I and another developer are just moving all our stuff from Azure DevOps. He has never used it, so I'm kind of teaching him. We're configuring it how we want. Ultimately, I'd like the whole company to use it, but the big problem is the licensing.

It is in the cloud, so it is a scalable solution. I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten. It is very scalable. 

Currently, it is being used by the entire organization, but for my team, we have around 10 to 20 people who use it regularly. In total, around 50 users have access to it.

In terms of scalability, Jira covered all our demands. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. 

We didn't use all the possible settings for the solution, but it still scaled well to our 1200 users. We didn't have any stability problems with Jira, so it gets a ten out of ten from me.

I would rate the scalability of this solution a five, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. I think in terms of what it offers from a scalable point of view, it's not too cumbersome. There are times when it looks as if it's quite complex.

The solution is scalable. You can add users. 

We have a license for 10,000 users. However, only 8,000 people are using it. If users are not using it for 15 days, we'll remove them.

Scalability-wise, I'd rate JIRA Service Management eight out of ten. I see a lot of improvement on the cloud version that isn't available on the on-premise or server version, and I know that JIRA no longer sells the server license.

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. 

We're using the product quite extensively.

JSM's cloud version is scalable, but you need to be cautious with the on-prem version since you will be onboarding thousands of additional customers to support.

We have about 1,800 employees in our organization, with more than 30 teams working on Jira. The users are all from procurement teams, finance teams, the capital planning team, the service desk, the development team, the networking team, the data center team, and the operations team as well. We are delivering tickets to our operations team. Everyone is using Jira right now. I rate the scalability of the solution a seven to eight out of ten.

The user interface becomes sluggish when there are many items in the database, especially large Product Backlogs. I've had page-load times of more than 30 seconds on modern clients. That's just unacceptable. A lot of things are processed through the user interface when it might be smarter to process them through the backend. It tends to be quite slow because it's a JavaScript user interface with a lot of dynamic processing, and a lot of it is run sequentially, single-threaded. For this reason, Jira especially benefits from modern browsers with a fast JavaScript engine, such as Chrome or Edge, and of CPUs specifically optimized for dynamic website processing, such as the Apple M series.

I'm not sure if you can scale the solution. It's not an aspect I've studied.

It's used every single day, heavily utilized for Jira Service Desk and Jira Software for product development. We use it to its maximum potential.

RC
QA Engineer at Kominiti

The scalability depends on the organizations using JIRA Service Management. If it's fitting for what they are using it for, then it's okay. If it's not, they have every right to change it and use something else. We decided to move away from JIRA Service Management to Azure because we felt it wasn't properly organized. I found working with JIRA Service Management interesting because I could look at the extractor and see which task is in development, or emerging, the status of every task and to who it was assigned.

Andrew Burt - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical engineer at a consultancy with 201-500 employees

We have increased our license count and our consumption of services, not just with Service Management, but our entire Jira service consumption. We upgraded our subscription at least a couple of times over the last year and it's pretty simple, you literally say what you want to do. The other great thing is that you can trial it. You can say, "I want to initiate a trial of this particular level or subscription," and then you can trial it, piece it all out, and decide whether you're going to increase.

In terms of actual support staff, we have probably between 50 to 75 employees using this solution. The whole business includes between 600 to 650 people who could be using it to log requests.

Platform Scrum Master at a comms service provider with 5,001-10,000 employees

The biggest issue is not being able to display linked issues and that makes scalability painful as far as the customer experience goes, and weighs down the system with more tickets. In terms of expanding, it's fairly straightforward. We have over 5,000 users in various roles including managers, developers, HR - it's across the board. In terms of maintenance, we have the main administrator and then a couple of guys that help out.

Scalability-wise, you can definitely scale your systems or integrate with other third parties. There are also plug-ins that you could use and evaluate. So, you do get the flexibility to install plugins. 

Before moving to the cloud, I could use plugins for more than 30 days, and I just had to give a request for additional months, but it is not working anymore in the cloud. It is probably because of the company that creates the plugins. 

We have 50 users. It doesn't require maintenance. We only maintain workflow changes, and the system runs on its own. Even upgrades are done by them. It is pretty easy as compared to the server version.

I'm planning to expand and change the license type, from the free one and to the professional one, in order to get more functionality and features. Our target is to do so in the coming year. Our plan is to increase usage. 

For the time being, we only have a limited number of people in the office using the solution. There are maybe only seven or eight of us on it right now.

I think the product is very scalable as long as the hardware can handle the usage.

We have never had a problem. Two years ago, I had a launch of Service Desk in a bank in Iran and we had 8,000 issues to track for the core banking system.

This launch was very, very good because we used an IT framework in this company and returned used a post egress system for response to bank customers or bank users. We could use Jira software for the response to this incident and resolve that.

We had 8,000 issues two years ago, and the company continues to use this product and I am sure that they have been able to scale and track more.

We use JIRA in parallel with TFS. We connect them with a JIRA provided API. We use this API to connect with other products. Sometimes we must program for it to download some plugins and add to JIRA, for example. We can connect JIRA with other products this way.

With the number of applications on the marketplace continuing to grow, I would say the solution is quite scalable. The only challenges with scalability come with advanced use cases. There are some issues around their IPS and tools. Jira has the capabilities, however, they don't sell well for advanced cases. 

Still, if you are talking about the ability to scale using tools and plugins, I would say that usually, Jira can scale quite effectively for clients.

It is the primary tool for the service desk and other IT workers. It will most likely be used more widely for other teams in the future.

MM
Founder and The Craftmaster at a tech services company with 1-10 employees

JIRA is an excellent tool. We still have room to improve how we use it. It can cater to multiple needs and purposes which enhances its demand. The fact that we can use it for multiple tasks alone makes it scalable. It's very good at what it does.

We have more than ten people currently using it. Most of them are testing consultants and developers. We also have project managers using it.

For deployment and maintenance, it may take only one to three guys. It depends on the complexity of what you are planning to do with it, so it will vary from case to case. There's no absolute answer to how many people will need to be involved.

Our deployment of the project is changing and growing on an on-going basis. It is used extensively and consistently and seems to be more useful as we explore what it can do.
