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 most valuable aspect is that is is codeless."
"The product’s UI is very good."
"The solution's initial setup process was quite straightforward... I rate the technical support a nine and a half out of ten."
"It makes the IT department more transparent and helps the employees."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Using JIRA simplifies tracking issues and updates."
"The automated workflows have helped streamline our IT processes."
"We get software developed faster."
"Apart from ticket management and workflow, the Kanban board is one of the helpful tools in Jira."
"The customer portal with connection with our knowledge base has been most valuable."
"It's a good experience."
 

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."
"One thing I would suggest is that before we create an epic, we mention the required stories in its description. Then AI could directly create those stories instead of doing it manually inside the table, so that integration can occur."
"JIRA Service Management could include more AI features."
"A lot of users have said that they want a feature that was on the on-prem version of Jira and the vendor can't deliver. They're either unwilling or unable to give feature parity."
"If I need a new feature, JIRA requires me to pay for all users when only specific people use that add-on. I should not have to pay for everyone, so this is an area for improvement."
"From the customer side, it's not friendly used compared to other competitors, like ServiceNow or BMC. It's also not fully ITSM management if you compare it with ServiceNow or BMC. They have a full model of ITSM. In BMC they have TrueSight, they have Discovery, which helps IT to discover IT equipment with a serial number, with the specs, capacity of the server."
"The reporting function of this solution, particularly the filters in the portal, could be improved."
"The deployment can be a bit complex, especially for those who are not technical."
"I would like to see the user interface changed, it is not very user-friendly, and it transitions workflows."
 

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."
"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
"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."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"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."
"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 the solution is becoming expensive and it should be reduced."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
