Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product
Agiloft has a great support team to help the process along. They are affordable, friendly, and knowledgeable. The tech support team acts like walking encyclopedias. They know databases and programming. After all these years, we hardly need to speak to Agiloft anymore. However, they have great customer support. Every time we need something from them, they make our small troubles go away quickly.

Comprehensive workflows and data views have supported complex teams but still need cost improvements
JIRA Service Management is costly. The pricing structure needs improvement. When I add some plugins, I have to pay the cost for every user whether they are using it or not. For smaller companies, the detailed workflow editing and the kind of details that JIRA Service Management provides would be complex. For startups and smaller companies, JIRA Service Management would be complex. The cloud offering is easier because I don't have to manage the infrastructure. There are two templates of the project: company-managed and team-managed. Team-managed is a newer feature, which is good for startup-kind companies where they don't need control over data from multiple projects displaying in one dashboard. For startups, JIRA Service Management is somewhat complex with its schemes and everything. Capacity management should be improved in terms of additional features in the next release of JIRA Service Management.

Pros

"Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product."
"The links between the help desk and Jira issues and between Confluence and Jira issues are most valuable. I can write requirements in Confluence and link them to user stories in Jira and test cases. I can see my test coverage and all that kind of stuff. The integration between these three is very useful. It is pretty customizable, and it integrates well. There are a lot of add-ins and a lot of connectors to third-party products. In my last company, we used Test Royal for managing all the tests, and it integrated perfectly with that. For any issue or bug, we could see what tests have been run and the complete history of the tests."
"One of the best features is that I can share tickets with team members, at which point any team member is able to pick one up and work on it."
"Confluence is a great tool for documentation and tracking."
"The query language and the ability to create views of the data are very useful."
"I like the precise ticket management capabilities. JIRA Service Management is easy to use as well."
"Using JIRA simplifies tracking issues and updates."
"Automation capabilities allow for automatic ticket creation using monitoring tools."
"The visibility features are great."
 

Cons

"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"As a consultant, I have used the support. Some of the support I have received has been good and other times it could improve."
"It would be better if it had capabilities to connect to mobile applications (e.g., Whatsapp)"
"JIRA Service could benefit from improvements to its voice support."
"It would be beneficial if we could turn comments into subtasks or other JIRA tickets directly."
"Jira Service Management should be more user-friendly."
"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."
"I am not familiar if there's an integration with Visual Studio from Jira."
"I would like to see improvement in the ability to filter completed tasks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Agiloft has by far the best entry point for both cost and learning curve."
"After about six months, we started making a return on our investment at more than 300%."
"JIRA Service Desk has different pricing as it is based on agents. On average, the price is about $300 per agent."
"JIRA Service Management's pricing is pretty decent compared to competitors. I rate the pricing an eight to nine on a scale of one to ten."
"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."
"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
"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."
"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
