Easy to use, offers good stability and visibility for operational efficiency
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 interface could also be more user-friendly. So, the interface and search could be improved. Additionally, I would like to see more accessibility. It would also be great if there was a Jira mobile app.
Moldir Shynggys - PeerSpot reviewer
Great filtering feature and a good analytics dashboard
Samanage is our ticketing system and users email us with their issues which we're then able to prioritize. We are customers of Samanage The best feature of Samanage is filtering. It also allows us to create a solution for recurring issues. It's like having a stack overflow in the company. I like…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of JIRA Service Management is good."
"Some of the most valuable features are simplicity, ease of configuration, and ease of customization."
"Reporting and easy export to Excel spreadsheets."
"This solution has helped us a great deal in project management tracking and forecasting."
"I find the Kanban chart where we put each story in to be the most valuable feature. We use the Kanban chart to revise the project every morning in our five-minute meeting."
"With Jira Service Desk, the simplicity of setting up a quick form and getting the service desk running quickly is very helpful."
"Transparency of the system helps both internal and external persons involved."
"Its integration is most valuable. It is pretty open for integration."
"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

"There should be some AI integrations now as AI is in the picture."
"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."
"JIRA Service Management could include more AI features."
"Currently lacks an asset management module that can affect deployment."
"It should be easier to log in."
"I would like to see improvement in the ability to filter completed tasks."
"The search function could be improved. We have to search a certain way. There is no generic search; it is more object-oriented search."
"Its UI is a bit overwhelming for new users. That has been the problem with Jira for a long time. If they could put some fields that we could use to simplify the UI, it would be good."
"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

"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"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."
"Costs are about $50 per user per year. JIRA is sold in user tiers of 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 2000, 10,000, and unlimited users. It is bad when you have 51 users then the price is based on that 100 user tier. Users at 100 will be the most cost effective."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"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."
"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
"JIRA Service Desk has different pricing as it is based on agents. On average, the price is about $300 per agent."
"It is expensive."
