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."
"Confluence is a great tool for documentation and tracking."
"The SLA, speed, the comments from agents' side, and the dashboard for agents are the most valuable features."
"With Jira Service Desk, the simplicity of setting up a quick form and getting the service desk running quickly is very helpful."
"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."
"The query language and the ability to create views of the data are very useful."
"It helps with time management and team management of the new tasks."
"We have an Agile environment and using Jira makes it easy to adhere to Agile best practices."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility of defining your own workflows and automation around the workflows, and the integration with the gate or any repository."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in support."
"If JIRA were more of a substantial stand-alone product that covered more needs for project management, we wouldn't be using a suite of products."
"​SaaS version for large organizations (more than 2000 users) is not available."
"An AI feature that enables automation and alerts for users can be an improvement."
"The search function could be improved. We have to search a certain way. There is no generic search; it is more object-oriented search."
"The customizations in Jira could be improved by being simplified. They are currently very complex."
"JIRA Service could benefit from improvements to its voice support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's $69 per user per month. Only administrators need a license, and there is no limit to the number of endpoints."
"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."
"Buying a software solution is only a half part of the solution (or even less). You need to optimize usage of the software by hiring professionals who will help you to make the most of the software, especially in the beginning."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"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."
"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."
"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
"It is one of the premium products on the market, but it is very costly, especially in the Indian market."
"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
