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…

Manual ticketing features hinder workflow, but cost-effective ticket management is ensured
We just use it because it's more trouble to rip it out than to replace it with a more expensive tool. I would not recommend this product to others. If budget is a concern, it might be suitable but it doesn’t excite. Hence, I would rate it a four out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can track, monitor, and get all the details we need from the end-user's point of view for any service request."
"This is a flexible tool for logging and tracking issues efficiently."
"The most valuable features of JIRA Service Management are the service level agreement or management, and the ticketing system. Additionally, there are frequent updates that provide improvements."
"Everyone knows how to use it, so there's no need to teach new members."
"It is much more controlled and allows for different kinds of customization that we can plan and implement based on the project requirements."
"Automation capabilities allow for automatic ticket creation using monitoring tools."
"This solution has helped us a great deal in project management tracking and forecasting."
"We have found the issue type feature particularly valuable, as it provides an out-of-the-box solution that aligns with our needs."
"Their tech support has been talking to us about expanding features like integrations with Microsoft Teams."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus works fine as a help desk software and is relatively inexpensive."
"The most valuable features are the ITIL compliance and billing."
"The product is very scalable and stable when used as a help desk once it is built out."
"The product teams are continuously on the products trying to improve them. If, for example, I ask for a change to be done in the software, the chances are in the next release it's going to be done and incorporated. It's this personal touch that I like."
"We have found the reporting in this product to be very useful."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in support."
"The search function could be improved. We have to search a certain way. There is no generic search; it is more object-oriented search."
"Jira Service Management could improve by offering more control similar to Monday.com, such as easier automations, file addition, and sharing with different people."
"JIRA Service Management could improve the forms. When you complete the form for the ticket, for example, to have more information given to the team. If they needed this information, you can give it to them. They need to add additional information for a better understanding of the whole picture of the issue or problem."
"During the updates, when another version gets released, whatever I am tracking at that time gets lost and I have to type it all over again."
"The licensing model could be improved. There needs to be a different licensing model for large numbers of employees, as it remains one of the main barriers to using JIRA Service Management across our entire company."
"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."
"Its UI is a bit overwhelming for new users. That has been the problem with Jira for a long time. If they could put some fields that we could use to simplify the UI, it would be good."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus could improve on workflow automation features."
"There is no cloud-based version and it would be helpful if it were available."
"I would like to see some kind of project management or portfolio management in a future version."
"The product is very difficult to use and configure and requires specialists."
"They're pretty good but there's always room for improvement. There should be more templates that users can utilize immediately."
"The business model for the company is to sell low and charge for customization, education or expertise."
"The tech support is terrible and that seems to be a part of their business plan."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to five, where five is a good price and one is high, I would rate this solution as a three. It isn't cheap but it's not ridiculous."
"We may upgrade the license that we have. The license that we currently have is good for 500 agents, and it's not full yet."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"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."
"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."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being really high and five being good, I would rate the price of this solution as a four."
"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
"The licensing fees depend on different criteria, including options and sizing."
"ManageEngine products will always be the lowest cost in category as that is part of their business model."
