Efficiently track and document projects with seamless tool integration
We are a management warehouse that provides services to different customers in different sectors. Primarily, we serve the banking sector and the military sector. We manage all the software delivery projects through tools such as JIRA Service Management or TFS Confluence is a great tool for…

Service level optimization is key as is the integrated email and chat functions
I'd like to see an improvement in the connection to other software or the ability to have a direct connection. For now you can send an email with specific data and the system will react to it but you can't have a direct conversation. The issue is with optimization for the times when you need to go outside of the system. I'd like to see an improved API to the system, rather than other softwares having to trigger everything. You can connect from outside via the API so things like client details can be changed but there's no internal trigger that would automatically update.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Auditing team uses this solution to track audit findings and follow-up."
"The most valuable features are the management tools."
"It is much more controlled and allows for different kinds of customization that we can plan and implement based on the project requirements."
"The most valuable feature of Jira is that it is free of cost, which is a significant advantage."
"A good organizational tool."
"The most valuable feature of JIRA Service Management is a plugin we are using for the front end for simple user forms."
"Two features I like about Jira are its ticketing system and its compatibility with Confluence. Also, the Knowledge Base is one of the more valuable features that would really benefit us."
"It's a good experience."
"Provides service level optimization."
"The most valuable feature was how the solution helped us to prioritize tasks."
 

Cons

"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."
"Every time there's a problem with JIRA Service Management, you have to have a look at how to solve it, and there's always a feature request or the feature request on the solution is too large and the development cycles are too slow."
"The queries are weak and lack advanced functionality. You can do rudimentary queries, but you can't aggregate. You can't filter for a lot of things that would be useful, so you need to use plugins to write writing advanced queries. I run into problems when working with different organizations because they always have restrictions on what kind of plugins they allow."
"It would be useful to be ale to link tickets across different gantt charts in Jira and Confluence."
"There should be some AI integrations now as AI is in the picture."
"Lacks an interface where the customer can report issues."
"There is room for improvement in support."
"The price is a point of contention for me. It does overall work out as a significant amount of money that will be spent over a shorter period of time."
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
"There are other products that are more popular."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
"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."
"Licensing can become quite expensive."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
"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."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
