Efficiently track and document projects with seamless tool integration
We are a management warehouse that provides services to different customers in different sectors. Primarily, we serve the banking sector and the military sector. We manage all the software delivery projects through tools such as JIRA Service Management or TFS Confluence is a great tool for…
Edward Carbutt - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"We have found the issue type feature particularly valuable, as it provides an out-of-the-box solution that aligns with our needs."
"Compared to other solutions, Jira Service Management is really reasonable regarding price and speed."
"The customer portal with connection with our knowledge base has been most valuable."
"The query language and the ability to create views of the data are very useful."
"This service management solution has a good user interface. It helps improve your IT request requirements and makes tracking requests easier."
"The tool's stability is very good."
"Jira Service Management has a workflow feature you can configure for your specific requirements. It also lets you efficiently manage service requests with team members."
"The centralized feature allows us to track test cases and integrate with automation and bug fixing."
"The solution is highly stable."
"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."
"I like their request management as well as their project management."
"It offers a comprehensive set of features without requiring additional payments for each feature."
 

Cons

"If we can have an easier way to deploy this solution without the help of a consultant and a more reliable way of deploying procedures, it would be quite helpful."
"The interface could always be updated and improved."
"The pricing could be better."
"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."
"I would like to see the user interface changed, it is not very user-friendly, and it transitions workflows."
"The platform should be more user-friendly. JIRA's user interface needs training to understand and utilize."
"Field addition and removal features are not very intuitive in JIRA Service Management."
"I am not familiar if there's an integration with Visual Studio from Jira."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
"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."
"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 cost has recently increased. It might be around $20 to $25 per user license."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"Licensing can become quite expensive."
"The licensing costs on the website are about $60 for pay-as-you-go. And then it decreases based on volume discounts or something."
"This pricing falls on the lower end of the spectrum, making it a cost-effective option."
"The pricing is expensive."
"It is the most affordable because it is priced per month per user."
