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

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

Pros

"The product’s UI is very good."
"The most valuable aspect is that is is codeless."
"The solution's initial setup process was quite straightforward... I rate the technical support a nine and a half out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its SLA, which everybody wants when it comes to a service-based offering."
"JIRA Service Management provides real-time updates to all the stakeholders, and offers the opportunity to create customized communication and track services, enabling more precise real-time changes and a customized version."
"Some of the most valuable features are simplicity, ease of configuration, and ease of customization."
"We can track, monitor, and get all the details we need from the end-user's point of view for any service request."
"JIRA helps integrate Kanban Board features and for this reason what it does it does well."
"The automations will really help the company by delegating work the way your company operates."
"This solution has helped us a great deal in project management tracking and forecasting."
"The visibility features are great."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Cost has prohibited us from switching entirely to this solution."
"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 deployment can be a bit complex, especially for those who are not technical."
"Field addition and removal features are not very intuitive in JIRA Service Management."
"JIRA Service Management could include more AI features."
"The price is a point of contention for me. It does overall work out as a significant amount of money that will be spent over a shorter period of time."
"It should be easier to log in."
"I rate Atlassian support two out of 10. It takes a lot of time to reach them and get ahold of someone who understands my problem enough to provide a solution. Also, I live in Israel, so my work week is Sunday through Thursday, but I can only contact them from Monday to Wednesday."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s pricing is competitive and less complicated."
"The solution's pricing model is good. Also, they still follow the old concurrent licensing method."
"It's $69 per user per month. Only administrators need a license, and there is no limit to the number of endpoints."
"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being really high and five being good, I would rate the price of this solution as a four."
"The cost has recently increased. It might be around $20 to $25 per user license."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
