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:

"This solution has helped us a great deal in project management tracking and forecasting."
"The customer portal allows users to register tickets themselves."
"The customer portal with connection with our knowledge base has been most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is user-friendly."
 

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."
"As a consultant, I have used the support. Some of the support I have received has been good and other times it could improve."
"JIRA Service could benefit from improvements to its voice support."
"It should be easier to log in."
"I would like to see the user interface changed, it is not very user-friendly, and it transitions workflows."
"Generally requires the purchase of additional plugins."
"JIRA Service could benefit from improvements to its voice support. We need to have quick customer care implementation for anyone trying to connect."
"As a consultant, I have used the support. Some of the support I have received has been good and other times it could improve."
"The interface could be made easier to use. While it is not the worst, there is still room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution's pricing model is good. Also, they still follow the old concurrent licensing method."
"Costs are about $50 per user per year. JIRA is sold in user tiers of 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 2000, 10,000, and unlimited users. It is bad when you have 51 users then the price is based on that 100 user tier. Users at 100 will be the most cost effective."
"The price of the solution is becoming expensive and it should be reduced."
"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."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
"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."
"JIRA Service Desk has different pricing as it is based on agents. On average, the price is about $300 per agent."
