Integration flexibility and informative dashboards enable effective workflow management

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integrations are quite simple and clear."
"The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs."
"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"It is easy to set up."
"JSM's best feature is the integration with other Jira products."
"Service Management is great if you're an Atlassian shop already using JIRA for the development team and you want another tool for help desk ticketing. When it's all under the same umbrella, I can easily take a ticket from the help desk and move it to the development team. You can't beat that integration between two products."
"The solution offers lots of information on the website to assist with technical queries. There are also many community sites to help you troubleshoot any problems."
"We have found the issue type feature particularly valuable, as it provides an out-of-the-box solution that aligns with our needs."
"Useful for tracking issues with development."
"In Jira Service Management, the most beneficial features are process improvement, workflows, and escalations."
"This is a flexible tool for logging and tracking issues efficiently."
"Provides excellent management features."
 

Cons

"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"Sometimes I can't get the reports that I want until I go to the manager. They need to put more into the new reports. The standard reports are great, but there do not communicate as much."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"We have a lot of add-ons, however, instead of the add-ons, for example, cloning could be better."
"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."
"JIRA protects the end-user, but for the configuration, more rules could be added to improve the workflow."
"It should be easier to log in."
"The way it handles subtasks can be improved. We would really like the ability to have different types of subtasks. If we have a user story for a feature, we would like to have a subtask for documentation, a subtask for requirements, a subtask for development, and a subtask for testing. Right now, we just make four subtasks, but there is no way to specify their type, so we have to add a custom field to specify what type of work is this. It just means you've got to look at more data. For logging time or time tracking, we would like to have something using which we can define the work type we're doing. We would like to log whether we're working on a bug, a new development, scope change, or rework. We've got a user story for which we do the dev, and then we have to do more dev. It is the same story, but some of it could have been a scope change, and some of it could be a rework because we either screwed up the first time or missed something obvious. Currently, we have to have a custom field and track that separately. It would be nice to have some kind of work type for logging time."
"There is no notification regarding language upgrades."
"In the Turkish market, the biggest problem is that they are looking for a server type of solution, but when it comes to Jira Service Management, Atlassian is a remote type of license. There are just two different options, data center and cloud."
"We have tried exporting some of the test cases into Jira from Excel. The interface for that isn't very user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"If you want to add more users who can handle support there will be additional fees. What we call our extensions, we need to pay more for. They tell us that we need to acquire more licenses or something like that. I think it's very expensive, because in terms the pula, our local currency, it's about 20,000 per license for each user. It is an annual fee."
"I came to know from my team members that my company used to operate ServiceNow but shifted to Ivanti Neurons for ITSM due to its low licensing prices."
"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."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"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."
"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."
"It's not really expensive, especially when you compare to ServiceNow or other solutions, and it's not expensive to maintain."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"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."
