Helps us monitor customer ticket SLAs and enables us to understand why SLAs are missed and to improve our processes as a result
There are a lot of predefined reports but we asked for a lot of changes. The problem is that every organization has its own processes and needs. As a result, we had to do a lot of customization on the reporting. The reporting is okay, but it doesn't give you reports that make you say "wow," like you might see from a tool like MRTG or PRTG whose reports give you a good feeling. The detailing is not there in the Infraon Desk reports and there are no graphical elements in them. The reporting is slightly weak and needs to be improved. It should become a more graphical presentation of information. It's much more jazzy when you present something in a PowerPoint rather than a Word document. If the system is capturing a lot of data about certain parameters, I should have the option to generate a report based on all those parameters in any permutation and combination. That kind of flexibility is needed. The reports do help us to analyze and understand things at the customer level, but they could be better. Something that is missing is predefined dashboards. I would expect to see dashboards with some parameters that are predefined.

Easy to use, offers good stability and visibility for operational efficiency
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 interface could also be more user-friendly. So, the interface and search could be improved. Additionally, I would like to see more accessibility. It would also be great if there was a Jira mobile app.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"There are a few dashboards and they are helpful because, in our organization, we have different groups of people who need different kinds of dashboards... as head of network operations, I need a top-level view. I want to see how many calls are open and how many calls are pending, on average, and some trend analysis. Whereas a manager in my team might like to see slightly more detail."
"Infraon Desk is very flexible in nature and can be customized for my needs. The fact that I can customize it the way I want is the best part of the tool for me."
"The product is not lacking anything that a QA will want to use."
"The simplicity is good for our clients. The price is good."
"It scales well."
"The customer portal allows users to register tickets themselves."
"The most valuable features are the management tools."
"The most valuable features of this solution are Incident and Request Management."
"Provides excellent management features."
"​Allows customized processes for our service contracts."
 

Cons

"Better connectivity and integration with more collaborative platforms would be helpful."
"The reporting is okay, but it doesn't give you reports that make you say "wow," like you might see from a tool like MRTG or PRTG whose reports give you a good feeling. The detailing is not there in the Infraon Desk reports and there are no graphical elements in them. The reporting is slightly weak and needs to be improved."
"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 search function could be improved. We have to search a certain way. There is no generic search; it is more object-oriented search."
"It is pretty complex to move between the test environment and the production environment. There is potential for improvement."
"The product does not have the capability to sort queued tickets by product. This would be useful in making workflows more efficient."
"Cost has prohibited us from switching entirely to this solution."
"We faced challenges with integration for different frameworks like TestComplete."
"It would be better if it had capabilities to connect to mobile applications (e.g., Whatsapp)"
"With Jira, we were unable to implement time-based automation in its ticketing system. We would like a feature where we can define tickets based on severity, then tickets are automatically escalated to the next level after a set period of time if they go unanswered."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is reasonable and it was well within my budget."
"The pricing model is very competitive."
"Right now, there are only two of us who are both agents on the help desk and developers. We might be on the free version because we're less than three agents or users. I'm looking at Zephyr tests, which have a $10 a month flat rate, so right now, it is $10 a month. There are lots of add-ons. They do a free version, a standard version, and a premium version. In the last company, we started on $50 a month. By the time I left, we were paying $4,500 a month. That was mainly because we had 100 users on Confluence. I bought an add-on for Jira software for which we had 10 users, and that was $5 per user per month. It was costing me $500 a month, whereas it should only be $50 a month. I don't know if licensing fee has changed. I'd like our whole company to use it, but the big problem is the licensing because the Confluence side is what is really useful, but if I add 30 users to Confluence and then buy an extension for Jira software, I've got to pay for 30 licenses, even though I've only got two users in Jira software. It is the one big disadvantage of cloud software. You always have to pay for the number of seats regardless of which product you are on. This will probably severely limit how many people would use it because I'm not going to start paying $10 per user per month for a Jira software add-on when there are only two people using it."
"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."
"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 cost has recently increased. It might be around $20 to $25 per user license."
"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"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."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
