Fulfills all IT management needs, simple setup, but could be more user-friendly
Unfortunately, we were not able to implement the mobility feature so I won't be able to provide feedback on it (and it was something that has been requested since we have field workers and given the WFH case due to the pandemic). This is due to results of security tests and which we were not yet able to address in our environment. We've been also trying to integrate our current system with discovery solutions but it was not easy. I am not sure if it is due to the fact that we still have an older version of the AlembavFire product. Also, users are also requesting that the current system's UI can still be improved. For those of our users who had experienced ServiceNow, they cited that they can do RFC chats via the tool. In our group, we are using AlembavFire for recording the ticket and do other discussions/alignments via Teams chat.

Easy to use, offers good stability and visibility for operational efficiency
The search function could be improved. We have to search a certain way. There is no generic search, it is more object-oriented search. The interface could also be more user-friendly. So, the interface and search could be improved. Additionally, I would like to see more accessibility. It would also be great if there was a Jira mobile app.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The workflow is very good, as well as customizable."
"When we met with the Alemba vFire from Australia, it was a good discussion and they have a good feature roadmap."
"Incident Management is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The SLA, speed, the comments from agents' side, and the dashboard for agents are the most valuable features."
"Easily integrates with other tools."
"The automations will really help the company by delegating work the way your company operates."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Jira is that it is free of cost, which is a significant advantage."
"Two features I like about Jira are its ticketing system and its compatibility with Confluence. Also, the Knowledge Base is one of the more valuable features that would really benefit us."
"The dashboards are nicely laid out."
"The most valuable features are the management tools."
 

Cons

"The product should improve its ability to integrate with third-party tools."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"We had issues with the user interface, the way it was structured wasn't that user-friendly. The chat features could improve. For example, in change management, all the chat discussions can be done via ServiceNow. We are using two separate solutions, such as Teams, to chat, and the Alemba vFire tool to process."
"JIRA Service Management should make reporting easier. I would like something integrated with DevOps tools."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface and the queues."
"The interface could always be updated and improved."
"The solution needs to be integrated better with Office X5."
"The deployment can be a bit complex, especially for those who are not technical."
"It is pretty complex to move between the test environment and the production environment. There is potential for improvement."
"It would be beneficial if we could turn comments into subtasks or other JIRA tickets directly."
"The search function could be improved. We have to search a certain way. There is no generic search; it is more object-oriented search."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is much cheaper than ServiceNow."
"Alemba vFire is more affordable than the other solutions on the market. The solution changes for the number of customers not per user or module. The price was reasonable overall. We paid for support and it was a fair price."
"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."
"I am using the free version, but my clients are paying for it. When they start, they evaluate it for 30 days, and after seeing the value, they move to its paid version."
"JIRA Service Desk has different pricing as it is based on agents. On average, the price is about $300 per agent."
"We may upgrade the license that we have. The license that we currently have is good for 500 agents, and it's not full yet."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"It is one of the premium products on the market, but it is very costly, especially in the Indian market."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"For the people like us, the lower the price, the better. But when compared to other competitors, I think it's Jira's price is okay."
