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.

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

"Provides excellent management features."
"Automation capabilities allow for automatic ticket creation using monitoring tools."
"One of the valuable features is that an automatic response or action can be taken on tickets."
"Useful for tracking issues with development."
"Great to be able to create customized forms."
"Auditing team uses this solution to track audit findings and follow-up."
"A good organizational tool."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"If JIRA were more of a substantial stand-alone product that covered more needs for project management, we wouldn't be using a suite of products."
"I would like to see improvement in the ability to filter completed tasks."
"We faced challenges with integration for different frameworks like TestComplete."
"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."
"Include a split configuration in a layer part to allow cloud services to have almost full admin rights in SaaS."
"It is difficult to navigate if you don't have any prior knowledge."
"It should be easier to log in."
"The product does not have the capability to sort queued tickets by product. This would be useful in making workflows more efficient."
"There could be flexibility in terms of customization."
"Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."
"I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"The license we use is on a yearly basis. As a Solution Partner, we were using the free one and were using the free plugins. We were also giving our own plugins to the Atlassian Solution Partners for free. We don't pay anything to Atlassian."
"For the people like us, the lower the price, the better. But when compared to other competitors, I think it's Jira's price is okay."
"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."
"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."
"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
"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."
"The product's cost is average."
"We have a regular license."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's pricing is a bit expensive."
