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.

Stable, easy to install, and cost effective, but it needs better integration and data management
It needs better integration with other tools like Jira. Better reporting and better data management are also needed. I believe the way they're structured is the flat file. So it'd be better if they actually used a database for the data storage, and a more robust portal. I would like more flexible reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The automation feature in JIRA Service Management is beneficial, and that's yet to be available in ServiceNow. ServiceNow doesn't have the flexibility to automate processes."
"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."
"JIRA Service Management is much better than the normal JIRA software that we had, as it is much more controlled and allows for different kinds of customization that we can plan and implement based on the project requirements."
"One of the best features is that I can share tickets with team members, at which point any team member is able to pick one up and work on it."
"I think one of the most valuable things is that it's all integrated."
"Using JIRA simplifies tracking issues and updates."
"Our service desk is completely automated using Jira for everyone in the organization."
"My advice to users is that JIRA Service Management is a good project management tool to handle projects respectively and efficiently."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
"Absolutely, we have seen a return on our investment."
"It is more flexible than our current solution."
 

Cons

"JSM's ability to handle large volumes of emails isn't great."
"It is difficult to navigate if you don't have any prior knowledge."
"The product could improve its asset management."
"Its UI is a bit overwhelming for new users. That has been the problem with Jira for a long time. If they could put some fields that we could use to simplify the UI, it would be good."
"The solution should be more formalized. It could be more user-friendly."
"Include a split configuration in a layer part to allow cloud services to have almost full admin rights in SaaS."
"Its UI is a bit overwhelming for new users."
"The way it handles subtasks can be improved. We would really like the ability to have different types of subtasks."
"It's a very cost-effective solution, but it's not robust."
"Yes. Major system issues and outages during our implementation."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"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."
"I rate Service Management four out of 10 for affordability. The price could be better, especially for companies using more than one Atlassian product. It's suitable for SMBs that can afford it. I don't think there's another tool that's both better and cheaper. All help desk tools are relatively expensive."
"The price of the solution is becoming expensive and it should be reduced."
"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."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"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."
"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 is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
