Easy to use, offers good stability and visibility for operational efficiency
We use Jira Service Management (JSM) to manage tickets.  It enables us to track, monitor, and manage user requests from initiation to resolution. We use it for the end-to-end process. We can add comments, and close requests., so our primary use case for JSM is ticketing.  The interface is good and…

The Primary objectives of our solution are to improve the customer experience, improve process efficiency, and eliminate the wasted costs involved in business operations. For example, we're focusing more on the improvement of DIY (Do it Yourself). The call load reduces the need for visits by…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its integration is most valuable. It is pretty open for integration."
"JIRA SD also helps for much better feedback on the work being done. All colleagues can see what is happening."
"The simplicity is good for our clients. The price is good."
"Some of the most valuable features are simplicity, ease of configuration, and ease of customization."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is user-friendly."
"Transparency of the system helps both internal and external persons involved."
"I like the precise ticket management capabilities. JIRA Service Management is easy to use as well."
"JIRA helps integrate Kanban Board features and for this reason what it does it does well."
"The solution is a great product. It's hosted on a platform that offers various features, such as email, social media, phone calls, and chatbots. You can connect with customers through any of these channels."
"We used Salesforce Service Cloud for CRM (customer relationship management) cases and general sales cases."
"Salesforce accelerates time to market and streamlines workflows through automation. Integrating with other software systems, such as HR or ERP platforms, allows for seamless data exchange and enhances efficiency."
"It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up."
"The main benefit of Salesforce Service Cloud is that everything is in the cloud. We can track the entire customer journey from lead to account or opportunity. The CRM is in the cloud, while the financial transactions are in NetSuite. By integrating these applications, we get a complete view of the business. Some integrations are event-driven, while others are batch integrations that run at scheduled times. We also build reports using our in-house analytics tool to help leadership make decisions."
"There is an out-of-the-box feature for reporting and analytics"
"The complexity of the solution is very less."
"The three major pillars of Salesforce Service Cloud are the SSL, Chatter, and the Dispatcher Console, which routes calls to the technicians."
 

Cons

"In general, JIRA has no relation to customers or financials. Therefore, marketplace add-ons are needed to make it work for customer-facing systems."
"Field addition and removal features are not very intuitive in JIRA Service Management."
"The documentation needs improving, it's difficult to find specific procedures."
"At times you will need add-ons or additional software, so built-in features would be helpful."
"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."
"They need to work on the speed of Jira."
"The reporting function of this solution, particularly the filters in the portal, could be improved."
"Jira Service Management should be more user-friendly."
"The governor limits are a troubling feature of Salesforce"
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved and enhanced."
"Since customization can increase the cost from an implementation standpoint, we focus on showcasing Service Cloud's built-in features and possibilities."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"The integrations with other solutions can be improved."
"The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license."
"Reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price for JIRA Service Management is reasonable and cheaper than other ITSM solutions, but the licensing model is different, so you cannot compare it with other solutions. Overall, the pricing for the solution is acceptable."
"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."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"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."
"This is pricey solution. Should we move to using all cloud solutions in our business, we may move to different tools that have multiple functionality versus having a solution for each area. This would be too pricey and we would need to replace Jira with a different solution that also offers other features."
"Licensing can become quite expensive."
"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."
"The price of the solution is becoming expensive and it should be reduced."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a highly expensive solution"
"Salesforce Service Cloud is expensive. I worked with ExactTarget over five years ago, and it was quite pricey then. Not everyone could afford it. Salesforce has different tiers for different kinds of users. It's expensive considering their features and services, but they offer best-in-class solutions."
"Salesforce is very cost-effective."
"The solution is priced at 50 dollars a month per user."
"The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
"The tool is pretty expensive."
"The price of the solution depends on how many users need access to it"
"The licensing is flexible. Companies pay for what they use. However, a company with very small needs might find it difficult to justify the cost. Overall, it's in the medium price range."
