Anneri Van Der Merwe - PeerSpot reviewer
Impressive scalability and reliability for seamless service management
One area where I believe there's room for improvement in the 4me system is the absence of an asset discovery tool. While it does offer integration options with external tools for this purpose, it would be highly advantageous if it either developed its own asset discovery tool or incorporated an existing one directly into the platform.
Karim Yousef - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is highly stable."
"It offers a comprehensive set of features without requiring additional payments for each feature."
"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."
"Jira Service Management is flexible. It is easy to navigate without requiring extra learning. The user experience has been good."
"The customer portal allows users to register tickets themselves."
"It's a good experience."
"Provides excellent management features."
"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 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."
"This is a flexible tool for logging and tracking issues efficiently."
"The flow of the reports is good."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is pretty complex to move between the test environment and the production environment. There is potential for improvement."
"Include a split configuration in a layer part to allow cloud services to have almost full admin rights in SaaS."
"JIRA Service Management could improve the forms. When you complete the form for the ticket, for example, to have more information given to the team. If they needed this information, you can give it to them. They need to add additional information for a better understanding of the whole picture of the issue or problem."
"The interface could always be updated and improved."
"The product does not allow customization of reports."
"I think the performance can be better."
"The solution should be more formalized. It could be more user-friendly."
"At times you will need add-ons or additional software, so built-in features would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is the most affordable because it is priced per month per user."
"This pricing falls on the lower end of the spectrum, making it a cost-effective option."
"The pricing is 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."
"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."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"The license we use is on a yearly basis. As a Solution Partner, we were using the free one and were using the free plugins. We were also giving our own plugins to the Atlassian Solution Partners for free. We don't pay anything to Atlassian."
"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."
"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."
"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
