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.

Offers multi-tenancy architecture, both in terms of functionality and reporting, requires minimal configuration and no-code deployment
We're still biased towards our previous, more mature product. 4me still needs to reach that level of maturity. However, for most users, the product will do what they need. It's only when you have mature service management processes and need deeper integrations at the process level that you might encounter some limitations. But for less mature needs, 4me works well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is one of the best tools in the market right now."
"The flow of the reports is good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are Incident and Request Management."
"We have an Agile environment and using Jira makes it easy to adhere to Agile best practices."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its SLA, which everybody wants when it comes to a service-based offering."
"The stability of JIRA Service Management is good."
"JIRA Service Management provides real-time updates to all the stakeholders, and offers the opportunity to create customized communication and track services, enabling more precise real-time changes and a customized version."
"The solution is highly stable."
"When compared to BMC Helix ITSM, the 4me setup is much simpler and less complicated."
"I like their request management as well as their project management."
"The multi-tenancy architecture, both in terms of functionality and reporting, is the best feature. It is a really well-thought, designed, and developed part of this product."
"It offers a comprehensive set of features without requiring additional payments for each feature."
 

Cons

"The platform should be more user-friendly. JIRA's user interface needs training to understand and utilize."
"Service Management currently lacks an asset management module that can make deployment more difficult."
"We have tried exporting some of the test cases into Jira from Excel. The interface for that isn't very user-friendly."
"An AI feature that enables automation and alerts for users can be an improvement."
"JSM's ability to handle large volumes of emails isn't great."
"There could be more optimization, and the pricing could be better too."
"The customizations in Jira could be improved by being simplified. They are currently very complex."
"The main issue with this solution is there's no limited subscription available for plugins we only use for a few people. If we only have a team of twenty using a plugin, we still have to purchase a subscription for the whole 200 users."
"We would like to be able to customize and brand the solution, or at least the majority of its features and dashboards, particularly those that will be used by a large number of people."
"We're still biased towards our previous, more mature product. 4me still needs to reach that level of maturity."
"We would like to be able to customize and brand the solution, or at least the majority of its features and dashboards, particularly those that will be used by a large number of people."
"One area where I believe there's room for improvement in the 4me system is the absence of an asset discovery tool."
"Asset Discovery is a feature that should be added."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"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."
"We may upgrade the license that we have. The license that we currently have is good for 500 agents, and it's not full yet."
"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 of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"It is one of the premium products on the market, but it is very costly, especially in the Indian market."
"The licensing costs on the website are about $60 for pay-as-you-go. And then it decreases based on volume discounts or something."
"The pricing is expensive."
"This pricing falls on the lower end of the spectrum, making it a cost-effective option."
"It is the most affordable because it is priced per month per user."
