Efficiently track and document projects with seamless tool integration

Good ticketing tool but limitations with integration
We use ManageEngine, but it's still pretty new and under development. We used SummitAI for about four years before switching to ManageEngine. There are specific features that were missing in SummitAI that we're hoping to find in ManageEngine. We were informed that ManageEngine was a new ticketing tool with modern and advanced analytics, which would be a better fit than SummitAI with its older engine. Firstly, ManageEngine allows detailed asset inventory per user. I, as a user, can store authentication details like which laptop and mobile I use, for all employees. Secondly, ManageEngine can handle patching, Windows updates, and pushing applications from the server to desktops. Finally, ManageEngine lets us do remote access directly through the tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The automations will really help the company by delegating work the way your company operates."
"The most valuable feature of JIRA Service Management is a plugin we are using for the front end for simple user forms."
"The dashboards in Jira have been the most useful feature."
"Simplicity is a key aspect. It is not hard to use."
"It is much more controlled and allows for different kinds of customization that we can plan and implement based on the project requirements."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"Its integration is most valuable. It is pretty open for integration."
"Apart from ticket management and workflow, the Kanban board is one of the helpful tools in Jira."
"The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it."
"The product has the best features for ITSM."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's chat box feature has reduced our service discount, and because it's intelligent, the responses that go out to the users have improved, and the resolutions are much faster."
"It was easy to access and fast. Our experience using it solely as a ticketing tool. We used fetch reports from the tool, particularly with regard to SLA tracking for our partners."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is very complex."
"If I need a new feature, JIRA requires me to pay for all users when only specific people use that add-on. I should not have to pay for everyone, so this is an area for improvement."
"The platform should be more user-friendly. JIRA's user interface needs training to understand and utilize."
"I would like to see improvement in the ability to filter completed tasks."
"JSD has some analytics, but it's pretty much basic and simple dashboards. There's no mobile application for JSD. It really would benefit from better implementation with other vendors. We're heavily reliant on some external marketplace applications."
"The solution should be more formalized. It could be more user-friendly."
"The interface could be made easier to use."
"An improvement they could add is a better management dashboard. We only use the dashboard for the administration mode. We have a dashboard that reports the state of bugs or requirements. However, customers can only view requests that they made. We are not able to share a dashboard with our manager level customers to show them all of the requests in a quick dashboard."
"There could be flexibility in terms of customization."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."
"Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI."
"I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now."
 

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."
"It's not really expensive, especially when you compare to ServiceNow or other solutions, and it's not expensive to maintain."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
"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."
"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
"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."
"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."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"The product's cost is average."
"We have a regular license."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's pricing is a bit expensive."
