Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Transparency of the system helps both internal and external persons involved."
"Compared to other solutions, Jira Service Management is really reasonable regarding price and speed."
"The most valuable feature of Jira is that it is free of cost, which is a significant advantage."
"The tool's stability is very good."
"It scales well."
"The dashboards are nicely laid out."
"The tool is scalable."
"This is a flexible tool for logging and tracking issues efficiently."
"Teamwork has made process management easier and much better. It is very robust and improves by making a lot of changes. It is easy to use and has lots of reports."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Teamwork is easy."
"The setup was very easy. Deployment was very fast for us. We started using it within two weeks."
 

Cons

"The deployment can be a bit complex, especially for those who are not technical."
"It is difficult to navigate if you don't have any prior knowledge."
"Usability needs improvement. To configure it, you need to be well versed in Jira administration. It's not very intuitive."
"JSM's ability to handle large volumes of emails isn't great."
"In the Turkish market, the biggest problem is that they are looking for a server type of solution, but when it comes to Jira Service Management, Atlassian is a remote type of license. There are just two different options, data center and cloud."
"I am not familiar if there's an integration with Visual Studio from Jira."
"Every time there's a problem with JIRA Service Management, you have to have a look at how to solve it, and there's always a feature request or the feature request on the solution is too large and the development cycles are too slow."
"We have a lot of add-ons, however, instead of the add-ons, for example, cloning could be better."
"The product is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar."
"The product could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."
"The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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's not really expensive, especially when you compare to ServiceNow or other solutions, and it's not expensive to maintain."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"This is pricey solution. Should we move to using all cloud solutions in our business, we may move to different tools that have multiple functionality versus having a solution for each area. This would be too pricey and we would need to replace Jira with a different solution that also offers other features."
"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
"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."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"We negotiate on pricing since we are a long-term user."
