Practitioner - Service Management at Peristent Systems
An affordable and scalable solution that provides an excellent UI and many out-of-the-box integration capabilities
The product’s UI is very good. The tool’s performance is very good. The overall performance of the tool and the navigation is fast. It is very responsive. It has a lot of out-of-the-box integration capabilities with some of the common tools that we want to integrate. If something is not available out of the box, creating or configuring a new integration on HaloITSM is easier compared to other tools.

Comprehensive workflows and data views have supported complex teams but still need cost improvements
JIRA Service Management is costly. The pricing structure needs improvement. When I add some plugins, I have to pay the cost for every user whether they are using it or not. For smaller companies, the detailed workflow editing and the kind of details that JIRA Service Management provides would be complex. For startups and smaller companies, JIRA Service Management would be complex. The cloud offering is easier because I don't have to manage the infrastructure. There are two templates of the project: company-managed and team-managed. Team-managed is a newer feature, which is good for startup-kind companies where they don't need control over data from multiple projects displaying in one dashboard. For startups, JIRA Service Management is somewhat complex with its schemes and everything. Capacity management should be improved in terms of additional features in the next release of JIRA Service Management.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The most valuable aspect is that is is codeless."

"The product’s UI is very good."
"The tool's stability is very good."
"JIRA Service Management is a very user-friendly solution."
"The simplicity is good for our clients. The price is good."
"Confluence is a great tool for documentation and tracking."
"Reporting and easy export to Excel spreadsheets."
"The customer portal with connection with our knowledge base has been most valuable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The stability of JIRA Service Management is good."
 

Cons

"The product does not have its own orchestration engine."
"The solution's integration part needs to improve...In the future release of the solution, I expect to see certain changes in the programming of the solution. A customer of the solution should be able to customize it as per their need."
"There are no improvements needed. There is very little that HALO has not already built that is not on its roadmap."
"Currently lacks an asset management module that can affect deployment."
"JIRA Service Management could include more AI features."
"The performance in cloud service management could be improved. For example, sometimes queries get stuck, and when you search for a specific thing, it freezes until you refresh the page."
"There could be more optimization, and the pricing could be better too."
"This solution lacks features for project management."
"In general, JIRA has no relation to customers or financials. Therefore, marketplace add-ons are needed to make it work for customer-facing systems."
"The product could improve its asset management."
"Every time there's a problem with JIRA Service Management, you have to have a look at how to solve it, and there's always a feature request or the feature request on the solution is too large and the development cycles are too slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's $69 per user per month. Only administrators need a license, and there is no limit to the number of endpoints."
"The solution's pricing model is good. Also, they still follow the old concurrent licensing method."
"The product’s pricing is competitive and less complicated."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"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."
"It depends on the number of users but it starts at $20 per month per user. I would rate them a three out of five for pricing."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"JIRA Service Management's pricing is pretty decent compared to competitors. I rate the pricing an eight to nine on a scale of one to ten."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"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."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
