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

"The most valuable aspect is that is is codeless."
"JIRA Service Management is a very user-friendly solution."
"There are two things that I value very much about this product. One is the service levels management – the SLA agreement management part of it – and knowledge management."
"Using JIRA simplifies tracking issues and updates."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Some of the most valuable features are simplicity, ease of configuration, and ease of customization."
"​Allows customized processes for our service contracts."
"The most valuable feature of JIRA Service Management is a plugin we are using for the front end for simple user forms."
"One of the main advantages of JIRA is that it can be customized for our solutions."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product does not have its own orchestration engine."
"I think there are other IT ticketing tools that are better in terms of routing or workflows than Jira Service Desk."
"The initial setup of JIRA Service Management can be complex for new users. There is a lot of configuration."
"JIRA Service Management could include more AI features."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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's $69 per user per month. Only administrators need a license, and there is no limit to the number of endpoints."
"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 an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"Licensing can become quite expensive."
"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."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
