Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the precise ticket management capabilities. JIRA Service Management is easy to use as well."
"Some of the most valuable features are simplicity, ease of configuration, and ease of customization."
"Transparency of the system helps both internal and external persons involved."
"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."
"Its integration is most valuable. It is pretty open for integration."
"In Jira Service Management, the most beneficial features are process improvement, workflows, and escalations."
"This service management solution has a good user interface. It helps improve your IT request requirements and makes tracking requests easier."
"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

"We faced challenges with integration for different frameworks like TestComplete."
"There should be better connections with access management. They should improve the connectivity."
"In-built chat is missing in JIRA Service Management."
"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."
"The performance in cloud service management could be improved."
"JSD has some analytics, but it's pretty much basic and simple dashboards. There's no mobile application for JSD. It really would benefit from better implementation with other vendors. We're heavily reliant on some external marketplace applications."
"JIRA Service could benefit from improvements to its voice support."
"The pricing could be better."
"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

"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"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 may upgrade the license that we have. The license that we currently have is good for 500 agents, and it's not full yet."
"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"Licensing can become quite expensive."
"The license we use is on a yearly basis. As a Solution Partner, we were using the free one and were using the free plugins. We were also giving our own plugins to the Atlassian Solution Partners for free. We don't pay anything to Atlassian."
"It is expensive."
