Cost-effective, integrates with the Office tools, and allows us to articulate all entities across the enterprise on one platform
The refresh cycles for our dashboards could be better. I keep complaining about that. The refresh is supposed to be once a day, but I would love it if it was real-time so that if I make a change to the data in iServer, I should see those changes immediately reflected in the dashboards. They use Power BI, and it seems they've scheduled their refresh to be once a day, which is not that good for us. We've had some issues with the integration between Visio and iServer because sometimes the add-in that allows you to do that integration takes a lot of memory and then your Visio crashes. However, I've not experienced this issue for some time, so it was probably fixed in the recent version. Also, if I copy a large amount of data and I want to copy from one Visio file to another, I have had a case where it suddenly just closes Visio without saving. So, that integration could be more smooth. There should be ease of integration with other systems in our environment such as SysAid. I understand that there is an integration to ServiceNow, but we use SysAid. We need to be able to say that when there's an incident that impacts or requires a change in a particular component, ServiceNow or SysAid should be able to communicate to Orbus that this component is about to change. Similarly, when it comes to discovery or when a new architecture change has happened in the enterprise, we should be able to detect the change in the baseline Enterprise Architecture. There should be such advanced automation. The visibility of our models is limited to those to whom we have assigned licenses. I would've loved it if everyone in the organization could at least see the diagrams. The licensing should be there for those who need to make updates or changes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Jira gets the basics right in terms of the product backlog and a scrum board teams can use to manage sprint backlogs."
"We use JIRA Service Management for tracking purposes, planning, and execution."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"Transparency of the system helps both internal and external persons involved."
"Automation capabilities allow for automatic ticket creation using monitoring tools."
"The solution offers lots of information on the website to assist with technical queries. There are also many community sites to help you troubleshoot any problems."
"JSM's best feature is the integration with other Jira products."
"The dashboards in Jira have been the most useful feature."
"I like the integration with the Office tools such as Visio and Excel. The integration with Excel helped us to be able to upload data very easily. Integration with Visio helps us to be able to make changes once and have a centralized diagram. We don't have versions of the diagram. This integration with the Office tools is very useful."
"The most valuable features are mainly the reporting side of things and the dashboard."
 

Cons

"In the Turkish market, the biggest problem is that they are looking for a server type of solution, but when it comes to Jira Service Management, Atlassian is a remote type of license. There are just two different options, data center and cloud."
"The initial setup is very complex."
"I think the performance can be better."
"When you raise a ticket with Jira, there's no ability to see your other JIRA tickets."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface and the queues."
"Cost has prohibited us from switching entirely to this solution."
"If we can have an easier way to deploy this solution without the help of a consultant and a more reliable way of deploying procedures, it would be quite helpful."
"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."
"We found a few issues with importing data and all the manipulation of data, especially when it came to the BI side of things because it utilized a particular template to be able to get certain reports. The user administrators could not manipulate it to get the right reports."
"The refresh cycles for our dashboards could be better. I keep complaining about that. The refresh is supposed to be once a day, but I would love it if it was real-time so that if I make a change to the data in iServer, I should see those changes immediately reflected in the dashboards. They use Power BI, and it seems they've scheduled their refresh to be once a day, which is not that good for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"JIRA Service Desk has different pricing as it is based on agents. On average, the price is about $300 per agent."
"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis. We currently work with a standard fee."
"It was very cost-effective as compared to the other ones we evaluated. We spent about $20,000 per annum for support and license together. There was also an implementation fee at the beginning. I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
