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."
"This is a flexible tool for logging and tracking issues efficiently."
"The most valuable feature of JIRA Service Management is a plugin we are using for the front end for simple user forms."
"This is the most complete and versatile enterprise task management product and issue tracker."
"Jira Service Management is flexible. It is easy to navigate without requiring extra learning. The user experience has been good."
"It's a good experience."
"The customer portal allows users to register tickets themselves."
"Some of the most valuable features are simplicity, ease of configuration, and ease of customization."
"The visibility features are great."
 

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."
"The main issue with this solution is there's no limited subscription available for plugins we only use for a few people. If we only have a team of twenty using a plugin, we still have to purchase a subscription for the whole 200 users."
"The initial setup of JIRA Service Management can be complex for new users. There is a lot of configuration."
"JIRA Service could benefit from improvements to its voice support."
"The solution should be more formalized. It could be more user-friendly."
"We have a lot of add-ons, however, instead of the add-ons, for example, cloning could be better."
"Generally requires the purchase of additional plugins."
"If I need a new feature, JIRA requires me to pay for all users when only specific people use that add-on. I should not have to pay for everyone, so this is an area for improvement."
"We faced challenges with integration for different frameworks like TestComplete."
 

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."
"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."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being really high and five being good, I would rate the price of this solution as a four."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"I am using the free version, but my clients are paying for it. When they start, they evaluate it for 30 days, and after seeing the value, they move to its paid version."
"Licensing can become quite expensive."
"It depends on the number of users but it starts at $20 per month per user. I would rate them a three out of five for pricing."
"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."
"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."
