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.
Wojtek Witowski - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows us to create flexible schedules for on-call rotations
For alerts, we could choose to get a text message, app notification, or a phone call. The phone calls were very unusable, because it just read a bunch of numbers, like an ID of the alert. If there was a way to customize the phone call message, that would be great. Later, we would try to read the message, but it wasn't great at reading that. They had some sort of internal chat functionality where if we got an alert, we could write to somebody else and ask them for help, but that was super cumbersome. There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert. Imagine you call the help desk and you say that your computer is broken and then they say, "Actually, the internet is broken, so let us forward your alerts to the network people." And the network people say, "Actually, the electricity is the problem, so let us forward it to the electricity people." Basically, you could send the alert between the support teams inside the company.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It scales well."
"Easily integrates with other tools."
"This is the most complete and versatile enterprise task management product and issue tracker."
"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."
"Jira Service Management has a workflow feature you can configure for your specific requirements. It also lets you efficiently manage service requests with team members."
"Transparency of the system helps both internal and external persons involved."
"I like the precise ticket management capabilities. JIRA Service Management is easy to use as well."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation."
"Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred."
"The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages."
"VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation."
 

Cons

"Field addition and removal features are not very intuitive in JIRA Service Management."
"The documentation needs improving, it's difficult to find specific procedures."
"The product does not have the capability to sort queued tickets by product. This would be useful in making workflows more efficient."
"If JIRA were more of a substantial stand-alone product that covered more needs for project management, we wouldn't be using a suite of products."
"It would be beneficial if we could turn comments into subtasks or other JIRA tickets directly."
"JIRA protects the end-user, but for the configuration, more rules could be added to improve the workflow."
"JIRA Service Management could include more AI features."
"With Jira, we were unable to implement time-based automation in its ticketing system. We would like a feature where we can define tickets based on severity, then tickets are automatically escalated to the next level after a set period of time if they go unanswered."
"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."
"The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."
"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost has recently increased. It might be around $20 to $25 per user license."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"It is one of the premium products on the market, but it is very costly, especially in the Indian market."
"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
"I am using the free version, but my clients are paying for it. When they start, they evaluate it for 30 days, and after seeing the value, they move to its paid version."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive."
