Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboards in Jira have been the most useful feature."
"The SLA, speed, the comments from agents' side, and the dashboard for agents are the most valuable features."
"Useful for tracking issues with development."
"I think one of the most valuable things is that it's all integrated."
"Apart from ticket management and workflow, the Kanban board is one of the helpful tools in Jira."
"There are two things that I value very much about this product. One is the service levels management – the SLA agreement management part of it – and knowledge management."
"The tool is scalable."
"Simplicity is a key aspect. It is not hard to use."
"The best part is the ability to keep records, especially incident records. It's easy to use the tool to store data and monitor it."
"The solution has a great filtering feature."
 

Cons

"The price is a point of contention for me. It does overall work out as a significant amount of money that will be spent over a shorter period of time."
"Jira Service Management could improve by offering more control similar to Monday.com, such as easier automations, file addition, and sharing with different people."
"JIRA Service Management should make reporting easier. I would like something integrated with DevOps tools."
"The customizations in Jira could be improved by being simplified. They are currently very complex."
"Every time there's a problem with JIRA Service Management, you have to have a look at how to solve it, and there's always a feature request or the feature request on the solution is too large and the development cycles are too slow."
"The documentation needs improving, it's difficult to find specific procedures."
"An AI feature that enables automation and alerts for users can be an improvement."
"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 system shuts down about once a month which is frustrating."
"The setting up process is not quite easy. It's quite difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
"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."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
"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."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"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."
"It is expensive."
