Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In Jira Service Management, the most beneficial features are process improvement, workflows, and escalations."
"The dashboards are nicely laid out."
"It helps with time management and team management of the new tasks."
"I like the history, the dimensioning, and how I can configure a space based on my preferences or the project circumstances."
"The product is not lacking anything that a QA will want to use."
"The customer portal with connection with our knowledge base has been most valuable."
"Useful for tracking issues with development."
"Simplicity is a key aspect. It is not hard to use."
"The most valuable feature for us, besides chat, was file transfer, as we used it for sending files and images in chats."
"The Sendbird developer portal provides each step, including methods, making it easy to implement."
"Sendbird provides many features for real-time messaging, such as receipt ID and typing indicators."
"There are many useful features with Sendbird."
"The backend system was managed by Sendbird, eliminating the need for caching systems or local storage on user devices."
"Sendbird is very flexible, and they have made great strides towards optimization."
"Features similar to WhatsApp, such as online and offline statuses, message reactions, and replies, add significant value."
"Sendbird is reliable and generally crash-free."
 

Cons

"JIRA Service could benefit from improvements to its voice support."
"This solution lacks features for project management."
"Generally requires the purchase of additional plugins."
"Usability needs improvement. To configure it, you need to be well versed in Jira administration. It's not very intuitive."
"I am not familiar if there's an integration with Visual Studio from Jira."
"If I need a new feature, JIRA requires me to pay for all users when only specific people use that add-on. I should not have to pay for everyone, so this is an area for improvement."
"The platform should be more user-friendly. JIRA's user interface needs training to understand and utilize."
"I feel that Atlassian isn't really interested in fixing everything because if they did, the partners that are developing the fixes and features would not have a place in the market."
"A major issue was the requirement for a separate connection to Sendbird, resulting in a delay when initiating the chat."
"More analytics tools could be integrated into Sendbird."
"Impersonating a user or using a template user to send messages for development purposes would be very useful."
"The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information. Initially, I struggled to connect users and manage tokens for active and offline sessions, which caused frustration."
"At times, there are unexpected behaviors where the documentation suggests something different from how the SDK actually behaves, requiring us to create workarounds."
"Their pricing is very high compared to competitors, which is a concern for us."
"The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information."
"I thought that there should be the audio and the video call functionality as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Buying a software solution is only a half part of the solution (or even less). You need to optimize usage of the software by hiring professionals who will help you to make the most of the software, especially in the beginning."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"Right now, there are only two of us who are both agents on the help desk and developers. We might be on the free version because we're less than three agents or users. I'm looking at Zephyr tests, which have a $10 a month flat rate, so right now, it is $10 a month. There are lots of add-ons. They do a free version, a standard version, and a premium version. In the last company, we started on $50 a month. By the time I left, we were paying $4,500 a month. That was mainly because we had 100 users on Confluence. I bought an add-on for Jira software for which we had 10 users, and that was $5 per user per month. It was costing me $500 a month, whereas it should only be $50 a month. I don't know if licensing fee has changed. I'd like our whole company to use it, but the big problem is the licensing because the Confluence side is what is really useful, but if I add 30 users to Confluence and then buy an extension for Jira software, I've got to pay for 30 licenses, even though I've only got two users in Jira software. It is the one big disadvantage of cloud software. You always have to pay for the number of seats regardless of which product you are on. This will probably severely limit how many people would use it because I'm not going to start paying $10 per user per month for a Jira software add-on when there are only two people using it."
"Licensing can become quite expensive."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"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."
"There is a starter plan for $399 per month, and a pro plan for $799 dollars."
