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…

Manual ticketing features hinder workflow, but cost-effective ticket management is ensured
We just use it because it's more trouble to rip it out than to replace it with a more expensive tool. I would not recommend this product to others. If budget is a concern, it might be suitable but it doesn’t excite. Hence, I would rate it a four out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's stability is very good."
"Simplicity is a key aspect. It is not hard to use."
"Using JIRA simplifies tracking issues and updates."
"Two features I like about Jira are its ticketing system and its compatibility with Confluence. Also, the Knowledge Base is one of the more valuable features that would really benefit us."
"Everyone knows how to use it, so there's no need to teach new members."
"The product is not lacking anything that a QA will want to use."
"The tool is scalable."
"I like the precise ticket management capabilities. JIRA Service Management is easy to use as well."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus works fine as a help desk software and is relatively inexpensive."
"The product is very scalable and stable when used as a help desk once it is built out."
"The product teams are continuously on the products trying to improve them. If, for example, I ask for a change to be done in the software, the chances are in the next release it's going to be done and incorporated. It's this personal touch that I like."
"Their tech support has been talking to us about expanding features like integrations with Microsoft Teams."
"We have found the reporting in this product to be very useful."
"The most valuable features are the ITIL compliance and billing."
 

Cons

"This solution lacks features for project management."
"There should be better connections with access management. They should improve the connectivity."
"Integration possibilities with other products that are not Atlassian would be helpful. Support should also provide separate installation guides for each product even though they are easy to install."
"I am not familiar if there's an integration with Visual Studio from Jira."
"The licensing model could be improved. There needs to be a different licensing model for large numbers of employees, as it remains one of the main barriers to using JIRA Service Management across our entire company."
"Lacks an interface where the customer can report issues."
"The interface could always be updated and improved."
"The product could improve its asset management."
"I would like to see some kind of project management or portfolio management in a future version."
"The tech support is terrible and that seems to be a part of their business plan."
"They're pretty good but there's always room for improvement. There should be more templates that users can utilize immediately."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus could improve on workflow automation features."
"The product is very difficult to use and configure and requires specialists."
"There is no cloud-based version and it would be helpful if it were available."
"The business model for the company is to sell low and charge for customization, education or expertise."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"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."
"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
"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."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
"The licensing fees depend on different criteria, including options and sizing."
"ManageEngine products will always be the lowest cost in category as that is part of their business model."
