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.

Platform excels across departments but requires more focus on integration and IT management features
Kaseya's focus is on something else and is not aligned to the business model we are into, and the enhancements which we are expecting are not happening on their platform or their products. The enhancements are very limited. Multi-tenancy was lacking in Kaseya Vorex. Tenancy was not 100% there in Kaseya Vorex. The IT Asset Management feature was very limited. The Service Desk was also limited because it is not a full-fledged ITSM; it was a professional service automation platform. Integrated communication tools were somewhat lacking in Kaseya. Multi-channel collaboration integrations were not there. The Service Desk was not in complete compliance with the ITIL framework.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Easy to use and user-friendly."
"Jira Service Management is flexible; it is easy to navigate without requiring extra learning, and the user experience has been good."
"JSM's best feature is the integration with other Jira products."
"Automation capabilities allow for automatic ticket creation using monitoring tools."
"Some of the most valuable features are simplicity, ease of configuration, and ease of customization."
"The automations will really help the company by delegating work the way your company operates."
"Using JIRA simplifies tracking issues and updates."
"JIRA Service Management provides comprehensive data management, different views with customizable dashboards, a detailed level of customization from items to workflows to roles and teams, and very flexible integration through the Atlassian marketplace plugins."
"Kaseya Vorex is a comprehensive platform with a service desk, project module, CRM, and a complete finance model with auto billing."
"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to produce daily summary reports."
 

Cons

"JSD has some analytics, but it's pretty much basic and simple dashboards."
"Integration possibilities with other products that are not Atlassian would be helpful. Support should also provide separate installation guides for each product even though they are easy to install."
"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."
"Usability needs improvement. To configure it, you need to be well versed in Jira administration. It's not very intuitive."
"The solution needs to be integrated better with Office X5."
"Field addition and removal features are not very intuitive in JIRA Service Management."
"Probably the biggest downside is that you are locked into that model and you have to accept what you signed up for."
"Usability needs improvement. To configure it, you need to be well versed in Jira administration."
"Kaseya Vorex's customization features could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Service Management four out of 10 for affordability. The price could be better, especially for companies using more than one Atlassian product. It's suitable for SMBs that can afford it. I don't think there's another tool that's both better and cheaper. All help desk tools are relatively expensive."
"It is one of the premium products on the market, but it is very costly, especially in the Indian market."
"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."
"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."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
"The cost has recently increased. It might be around $20 to $25 per user license."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
