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.

A project management tool that helps to manage milestones and dependencies
We use the product to design online courses. It also helps us with media production and marketing.  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. The product is expensive. It needs…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I'm mainly working in the ITSM module of JIRA Service Management, and the integration between the system incident and how you can link all the records to the change makes it quite powerful."
"We have an Agile environment and using Jira makes it easy to adhere to Agile best practices."
"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."
"Jira Service Management is flexible. It is easy to navigate without requiring extra learning. The user experience has been good."
"I find the Kanban chart where we put each story in to be the most valuable feature. We use the Kanban chart to revise the project every morning in our five-minute meeting."
"The stability of JIRA Service Management is good."
"It is worth its weight in gold in being able to link everything together and have everything in one place."
"JIRA Service Management is user-friendly and can help you achieve what you want to achieve."
"I recommend this solution; it is very good for simple projects."
"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

"At times you will need add-ons or additional software, so built-in features would be helpful."
"It does not integrate very well with our email system (MS Outlook)."
"JIRA Service Management is costly."
"What could be improved in this solution is its reporting function, particularly the filters."
"Jira Service Management could improve by offering more control similar to Monday.com, such as easier automations, file addition, and sharing with different people."
"There should be better connections with access management. They should improve the connectivity."
"It is pretty complex to move between the test environment and the production environment. There is potential for improvement."
"The product could be improved by integrating better with mobile numbers. For example, creating a WhatsApp platform would extend the solution and make it more useful."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
"Right now, there are only two of us who are both agents on the help desk and developers. We might be on the free version because we're less than three agents or users. I'm looking at Zephyr tests, which have a $10 a month flat rate, so right now, it is $10 a month. There are lots of add-ons. They do a free version, a standard version, and a premium version. In the last company, we started on $50 a month. By the time I left, we were paying $4,500 a month. That was mainly because we had 100 users on Confluence. I bought an add-on for Jira software for which we had 10 users, and that was $5 per user per month. It was costing me $500 a month, whereas it should only be $50 a month. I don't know if licensing fee has changed. I'd like our whole company to use it, but the big problem is the licensing because the Confluence side is what is really useful, but if I add 30 users to Confluence and then buy an extension for Jira software, I've got to pay for 30 licenses, even though I've only got two users in Jira software. It is the one big disadvantage of cloud software. You always have to pay for the number of seats regardless of which product you are on. This will probably severely limit how many people would use it because I'm not going to start paying $10 per user per month for a Jira software add-on when there are only two people using it."
"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"We negotiate on pricing since we are a long-term user."
