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 solution's initial setup process was quite straightforward... I rate the technical support a nine and a half out of ten."
"The product’s UI is very good."
"The most valuable aspect is that is is codeless."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"Compared to other solutions, Jira Service Management is really reasonable regarding price and speed."
"This service management solution has a good user interface. It helps improve your IT request requirements and makes tracking requests easier."
"JIRA Service Management provides comprehensive data management, different views with customizable dashboards, a detailed level of customization from items to workflows to roles and teams, and very flexible integration through the Atlassian marketplace plugins."
"This is a flexible tool for logging and tracking issues efficiently."
"Easily integrates with other tools."
"It's a good experience."
 

Cons

"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."
"There are no improvements needed. There is very little that HALO has not already built that is not on its roadmap."
"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 platform should be more user-friendly. JIRA's user interface needs training to understand and utilize."
"Jira Service Management could improve by offering more control similar to Monday.com, such as easier automations, file addition, and sharing with different people."
"Include a split configuration in a layer part to allow cloud services to have almost full admin rights in SaaS."
"I think the performance can be better."
"During the updates, when another version gets released, whatever I am tracking at that time gets lost and I have to type it all over again."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface and the queues."
"The product could improve its asset management."
 

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."
"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."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"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."
"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."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
