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

"The most valuable feature of Jira is that it is free of cost, which is a significant advantage."
"One of the valuable features is that an automatic response or action can be taken on tickets."
"Jira gets the basics right in terms of the product backlog and a scrum board teams can use to manage sprint backlogs."
"Compared to other solutions, Jira Service Management is really reasonable regarding price and speed."
"JIRA SD also helps for much better feedback on the work being done. All colleagues can see what is happening."
"We have found the issue type feature particularly valuable, as it provides an out-of-the-box solution that aligns with our needs."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility of defining your own workflows and automation around the workflows, and the integration with the gate or any repository."
"Everyone knows how to use it, so there's no need to teach new members."
"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."
"The solution is highly stable."
 

Cons

"I would like to see improvement in the ability to filter completed tasks."
"The reporting function of this solution, particularly the filters in the portal, could be improved."
"One thing I would suggest is that before we create an epic, we mention the required stories in its description. Then AI could directly create those stories instead of doing it manually inside the table, so that integration can occur."
"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."
"The product does not have the capability to sort queued tickets by product. This would be useful in making workflows more efficient."
"​SaaS version for large organizations (more than 2000 users) is not available."
"At times you will need add-ons or additional software, so built-in features would be helpful."
"JSM's ability to handle large volumes of emails isn't great."
"Asset Discovery is a feature that should be added."
"One area where I believe there's room for improvement in the 4me system is the absence of an asset discovery tool."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"For the people like us, the lower the price, the better. But when compared to other competitors, I think it's Jira's price is okay."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution is becoming expensive and it should be reduced."
"It is the most affordable because it is priced per month per user."
"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."
