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.

A fairly stable solution that’s highly mature, but has a poor user interface
The solution does not align as modern service solutions do. Seamless integration is no available among the processes. Their service management application needs a lot of work. It’s in a really bad state right now. They brought on a new interface that clumped all the processes and features of the solution into one. Still, it’s not really compatible with other solutions. Because of this, its rating has dropped in Gardner. The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements. The product needs to implement a cloud platform solution, which is lacking so far. Their workflow engine is still segregated. It’s not embedded. If you need to do some workflow approvals, you cannot do them directly on the service desk. You have to go into Outlook and do an approval or you have to go in through another screen to handle the approval because the workflow engine they have is a separate product.

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."
"​Allows customized processes for our service contracts."
"The dashboards are nicely laid out."
"The customer portal with connection with our knowledge base has been most valuable."
"This service management solution has a good user interface. It helps improve your IT request requirements and makes tracking requests easier."
"JIRA helps integrate Kanban Board features and for this reason what it does it does well."
"Jira Service Management has a workflow feature you can configure for your specific requirements. It also lets you efficiently manage service requests with team members."
"The stability of JIRA Service Management is good."
"The solution is a highly mature product. Because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."
 

Cons

"We have a lot of add-ons, however, instead of the add-ons, for example, cloning could be better."
"The reporting function of this solution, particularly the filters in the portal, could be improved."
"The licensing model could be improved."
"The pricing could be better."
"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."
"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."
"​SaaS version for large organizations (more than 2000 users) is not available."
"Jira Service Management could improve by offering more control similar to Monday.com, such as easier automations, file addition, and sharing with different people."
"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
