Efficiently track and document projects with seamless tool integration
We are a management warehouse that provides services to different customers in different sectors. Primarily, we serve the banking sector and the military sector. We manage all the software delivery projects through tools such as JIRA Service Management or TFS Confluence is a great tool for…

Service level optimization is key as is the integrated email and chat functions
I'd like to see an improvement in the connection to other software or the ability to have a direct connection. For now you can send an email with specific data and the system will react to it but you can't have a direct conversation. The issue is with optimization for the times when you need to go outside of the system. I'd like to see an improved API to the system, rather than other softwares having to trigger everything. You can connect from outside via the API so things like client details can be changed but there's no internal trigger that would automatically update.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Transparency of the system helps both internal and external persons involved."
"The customer portal with connection with our knowledge base has been most valuable."
"Jira gets the basics right in terms of the product backlog and a scrum board teams can use to manage sprint backlogs."
"The query language and the ability to create views of the data are very useful."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is user-friendly."
"One of the best things about JIRA is that it searches for answers while questions are being typed so some tickets do not need to be submitted."
"Reporting and easy export to Excel spreadsheets."
"The most valuable feature was how the solution helped us to prioritize tasks."
"Provides service level optimization."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the user interface and the queues."
"Initially, as a completely new user, the interface was not very user-friendly, with many cluttered options."
"The queries are weak and lack advanced functionality. You can do rudimentary queries, but you can't aggregate. You can't filter for a lot of things that would be useful, so you need to use plugins to write writing advanced queries. I run into problems when working with different organizations because they always have restrictions on what kind of plugins they allow."
"The initial setup is very complex."
"The reporting function of this solution, particularly the filters in the portal, could be improved."
"The deployment can be a bit complex, especially for those who are not technical."
"JIRA Service Management should make reporting easier. I would like something integrated with DevOps tools."
"The initial setup of JIRA Service Management can be complex for new users. There is a lot of configuration."
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
"There are other products that are more popular."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price for JIRA Service Management is reasonable and cheaper than other ITSM solutions, but the licensing model is different, so you cannot compare it with other solutions. Overall, the pricing for the solution is acceptable."
"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"Licensing can become quite expensive."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"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."
"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
