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."
"Jira Service Management is flexible. It is easy to navigate without requiring extra learning. The user experience has been good."
"The query language and the ability to create views of the data are very useful."
"We can track, monitor, and get all the details we need from the end-user's point of view for any service request."
"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."
"This is a flexible tool for logging and tracking issues efficiently."
"Automation capabilities allow for automatic ticket creation using monitoring tools."
"The product is not lacking anything that a QA will want to use."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
 

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."
"I would like to see improvement in the ability to filter completed tasks."
"Initially, as a completely new user, the interface was not very user-friendly, with many cluttered options."
"The solution needs to be integrated better with Office X5."
"When you raise a ticket with Jira, there's no ability to see your other JIRA tickets."
"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."
"I feel that Atlassian isn't really interested in fixing everything because if they did, the partners that are developing the fixes and features would not have a place in the market."
"There should be better connections with access management. They should improve the connectivity."
"The price is a point of contention for me. It does overall work out as a significant amount of money that will be spent over a shorter period of time."
 

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."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
"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 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 suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
"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."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"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."
