JIRA Service Management Valuable Features
Confluence is a great tool for documentation and tracking. Additionally, Bitbucket is essential for controlling the source code. JIRA itself is valuable for managing tickets, user stories, and pipeline. The integration between different tools provided by Atlassian products is also significant.
View full review »The most valuable feature of Jira is that it is free of cost, which is a significant advantage. Bug raising is easy, and integration with other tools is straightforward.
The centralized feature allows us to track test cases and integrate with automation and bug fixing.
View full review »The query language and the ability to create views of the data are very useful. I can organize JIRA and set up tickets related to the projects I'm working on. It simplifies and accelerates my ability to manage tickets assigned to me or those I'm working with.
The dashboards are a good feature. The ability to actually edit dashboards is good. I can add modules into the dashboard to build out a sort of API, which is good. These capabilities are positive. Navigating around it is okay. A good example would be Visual Studio, which has an integration with Git.

Using JIRA simplifies tracking issues and updates. It allows me to assign tasks easily to colleagues. This way, I don't need to set up meetings for every issue since there is a discussion space in JIRA. It is beneficial if someone is on vacation sincew others can follow up on the tickets.

Everyone knows how to use it, so there's no need to teach new members. It's as widely recognized as word processors.
View full review »The tool is scalable. It is not mainly about administrative efforts, however, as a working user, it is easier to create multiple stories and epics. For every task we are working on, the project manager can see the status once we update the stories mentioned. It helps overall project management to understand what the progress is and if there are any blockers.
View full review »The most valuable feature compared to JPS is that JIRA is focused on user support and project management. It is easy to communicate with end users through the application, and for specific tasks, it's possible to break them into smaller tasks and link them together. Features like the dashboard and drag-and-drop functionality for updating task statuses make it user-friendly.
The ability to create a Deep Bucket branch or link tasks from JIRA to another JIRA is also beneficial. Automation capabilities allow for automatic ticket creation using monitoring tools.
View full review »The interface is good and easy to use. We can track, monitor, and get all the details we need from the end-user's point of view for any service request.

View full review »In Jira Service Management, the most beneficial features are process improvement, workflows, and escalations.
View full review »There are two things that I value very much about this product. One is the service levels management – the SLA agreement management part of it – and knowledge management.
The other part that I haven't used as much, but I do value, is the reporting and analytics part of it.
I like Scriprunner. Whatever is not possible, we can make it possible through Scriptrunner. We can customize the scripts, et cetera.
The initial setup is pretty easy.
View full review »Different projects benefit from various features. With Jira Service Desk, the simplicity of setting up a quick form and getting the service desk running quickly is very helpful.
On the Jira Software side, I find the idea management feature valuable. It allows us to maintain a backlog of ideas submitted by customers, employees, and product engineering teams. We can track where ideas originate, follow their development into the product, and engage with customers throughout the process, providing a powerful capability.

I find all features of JIRA Service Management valuable. It's a helpful solution, and it's necessary for my company.
The automation feature in JIRA Service Management is also beneficial, and that's yet to be available in ServiceNow. ServiceNow doesn't have the flexibility to automate processes.
View full review »The most valuable feature they offer is not to build in cost for every user. It's free of cost for your clients. It's free of cost for your internal users. Only, you have to pay the license for people who are going to work on it. If I take the example of an HR Help Desk, if it's an organization of 10,000 people, then 9950 people can log tickets free of cost, and only 50 people need a license to resolve their ticket, if it's a team of 50 people in HR.
The solution is stable.
It scales well.
View full review »The most valuable feature of the solution is its SLA, which everybody wants when it comes to a service-based offering. The queues in JIRA Service Management play a vital role in allowing its users to define the issue types, further classify them into queues, and then carry on.
View full review »The tool's ticketing is very good. It uses an agile methodology for delegating tickets, workload, reports, and tracking.

Jira Service Management has three features I found valuable. First, it has a workflow feature that you can configure for your specific requirements. For example, you can configure your workflows for service management, especially if you want to utilize it for a service desk. This is beneficial if your company provides services to customers where customers or users have questions, complaints, or troubleshooting requests. Through Jira Service Management, you can receive service requests and handle the requests within your organization or company as long as you configure and apply service management processes through the solution. This would still depend on your company's process. It's different from one company to another.
Another feature of Jira Service Management I like is that it lets you efficiently manage service requests with team members or employees. Team members can access and handle designated service requests, add answers, check the history, etc.
Jira Service Management also has a dashboard that helps you handle service requests well. Dashboards provide monitoring information, such as the number of service requests, which customers need information on, who's handling the service request, what's the status, and the priority levels of the requests. You can get service request statistics on the dashboard.
I also like that Jira Service Management has several feature sets you can configure. You can add columns and configure screens containing the information you want, such as customer name, environment, etc. The solution is flexible, which I also find valuable.

View full review »One of the valuable features is that an automatic response or action can be taken on tickets. We can have certain responses for tickets that contain keywords or are logged and tagged with certain labels.
The other thing is that the solution is starting to get out of just Service Management, and it's providing a Service Management project for other parts of our business. You've got the IT part and you've also got the business support, so people can use it for services like purchase orders, applications for shipping, and other things that are used across the business. That's the other useful part, that you're able to adapt it for other things.

Gil Atias
Head of ALM at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
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 customer portal with connection with our knowledge base has been most valuable. The queues to classify requests and SLIs to measure the quality of the service response and resolution time have also been great. It offers flexibility to configure workflows.
View full review »Jira lets us customize the workflow to meet our requirements. The email and alert features are also handy.
I think one of the most valuable things is that it's all integrated. Between the Wiki and the product itself, whenever someone is typing in an error, it automatically pops up a solution.

I can't specify which of the functions are my favourite, because I think everything about it is great. The only challenge is that it is difficult to navigate if you don't have any prior knowledge of the software. However, if you have knowledge, you can navigate around it and know what each tool within the software is used for. I preferred JIRA Service Management before we adopted Azure because I had already started getting familiar with it.

Customizations are most valuable. The customization of workflows is the main power of the Atlassian tools in general.

The links between the help desk and Jira issues and between Confluence and Jira issues are most valuable. I can write requirements in Confluence and link them to user stories in Jira and test cases. I can see my test coverage and all that kind of stuff. The integration between these three is very useful.
It is pretty customizable, and it integrates well. There are a lot of add-ins and a lot of connectors to third-party products. In my last company, we used Test Royal for managing all the tests, and it integrated perfectly with that. For any issue or bug, we could see what tests have been run and the complete history of the tests.

I think it's very easy to develop any process inside Jira Service Management, you can build any software with it. It's simple to use and user-friendly. It's based on a technical system, but you can move any process into JIRA Service Manager very easily. Its workflow design is very simple and that's why people prefer this product.

The best part of the application for me is the ability to manage the issues. Within the different layers, you can set priorities, define task management, assign tasks to the software team or to different groups or functions to help manage solutions in JIRA. I use different features in JIRA Service Desk for the software team. It is a broad solution that affects different layers of the organization.
Because the software team and development team can use the solution to manage and track projects more efficiently and work together as a team, they find and resolve problems better.
JIRA Service Management is a very user-friendly solution.

I find the user interface and support for JIRA Service Management good.
This solution also improved our IT request requirements, compared to when we were using email, e.g. it's difficult to track requests via email. With JIRA Service Management, tracking requests is better, because users contact us through tickets, and we are also able to ask for feedback from the users more easily, e.g. if our service was good, or if they have any issues with the solution.

I think that one of the most valuable features is when I am typing in my question for a ticket JIRA does a search for the answer at the same time. If it finds my answer, then I do not have to raise the ticket because I already found the answer in the knowledge base. This is good in saving time for customer service workers.
