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."
"One of the best features is that I can share tickets with team members, at which point any team member is able to pick one up and work on it."
"What I really like about this solution is how it manages the queues, the tickets, and the routing."
"Automation capabilities allow for automatic ticket creation using monitoring tools."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of this solution are Incident and Request Management."
"This is a flexible tool for logging and tracking issues efficiently."
"Transparency of the system helps both internal and external persons involved."
"With JIRA Service Management, tracking requests is better, because users contact us through tickets, and we are also able to ask for feedback from the users more easily, for example, if our service was good, or if they have any issues with the solution."
 

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."
"The product does not have its own orchestration engine."
"There are no improvements needed. There is very little that HALO has not already built that is not on its roadmap."
"The initial setup of JIRA Service Management can be complex for new users. There is a lot of configuration."
"The initial setup of JIRA Service Management can be complex for new users. There is a lot of configuration."
"What needs to be added in Jira Service Management is the user screen. You'll find it very weird if this is your first time using the solution. The user-friendliness of its interface needs improvement."
"The product could be improved by integrating better with mobile numbers. For example, creating a WhatsApp platform would extend the solution and make it more useful."
"This solution lacks features for project management. I would like to see more reports."
"The search function could be improved. We have to search a certain way. There is no generic search; it is more object-oriented search."
"While licensing is costly, setting up JIRA Service Management is overall good because the vendor helped me, and I also received support from JIRA support, making it a positive experience."
"The main issue with this solution is there's no limited subscription available for plugins we only use for a few people."
 

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."
"I rate Service Management four out of 10 for affordability. The price could be better, especially for companies using more than one Atlassian product. It's suitable for SMBs that can afford it. I don't think there's another tool that's both better and cheaper. All help desk tools are relatively expensive."
"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"It is one of the premium products on the market, but it is very costly, especially in the Indian market."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"This is pricey solution. Should we move to using all cloud solutions in our business, we may move to different tools that have multiple functionality versus having a solution for each area. This would be too pricey and we would need to replace Jira with a different solution that also offers other features."
