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 tool's stability is very good."
"Jira Service Management is flexible. It is easy to navigate without requiring extra learning. The user experience has been good."
"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."
"In Jira Service Management, the most beneficial features are process improvement, workflows, and escalations."
"Apart from ticket management and workflow, the Kanban board is one of the helpful tools in Jira."
"The product is not lacking anything that a QA will want to use."
"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."
"Service Management is great if you're an Atlassian shop already using JIRA for the development team and you want another tool for help desk ticketing. When it's all under the same umbrella, I can easily take a ticket from the help desk and move it to the development team. You can't beat that integration between two products."
"The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it."
"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."
"The product has the best features for ITSM."
 

Cons

"One thing I would suggest is that before we create an epic, we mention the required stories in its description. Then AI could directly create those stories instead of doing it manually inside the table, so that integration can occur."
"JIRA Service Management should make reporting easier. I would like something integrated with DevOps tools."
"The initial setup is very complex."
"The platform should be more user-friendly. JIRA's user interface needs training to understand and utilize."
"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 pricing could be better."
"It should be easier to log in."
"I think the performance can be better."
"There could be flexibility in terms of customization."
"I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."
"Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Costs are about $50 per user per year. JIRA is sold in user tiers of 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 2000, 10,000, and unlimited users. It is bad when you have 51 users then the price is based on that 100 user tier. Users at 100 will be the most cost effective."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"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."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"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."
"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."
"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."
