Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product
Agiloft has a great support team to help the process along. They are affordable, friendly, and knowledgeable. The tech support team acts like walking encyclopedias. They know databases and programming. After all these years, we hardly need to speak to Agiloft anymore. However, they have great customer support. Every time we need something from them, they make our small troubles go away quickly.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product."
"Developing processes is easy and user-friendly."
"The automation feature in JIRA Service Management is beneficial, and that's yet to be available in ServiceNow. ServiceNow doesn't have the flexibility to automate processes."
"The customer portal allows users to register tickets themselves."
"I think one of the most valuable things is that it's all integrated."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is user-friendly."
"One of the best things about JIRA is that it searches for answers while questions are being typed so some tickets do not need to be submitted."
"The SLA, speed, the comments from agents' side, and the dashboard for agents are the most valuable features."
"JIRA Service Management provides comprehensive data management, different views with customizable dashboards, a detailed level of customization from items to workflows to roles and teams, and very flexible integration through the Atlassian marketplace plugins."
 

Cons

"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"The support we received was not fully provided at that time."
"JSM's ability to handle large volumes of emails isn't great."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface and the queues."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if we could turn comments into subtasks or other JIRA tickets directly."
"An AI feature that enables automation and alerts for users can be an improvement."
"The interface could always be updated and improved."
"What needs to be added in Jira Service Management is the user screen. You'll find it very weird if this is your first time using the solution. The user-friendliness of its interface needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"After about six months, we started making a return on our investment at more than 300%."
"Agiloft has by far the best entry point for both cost and learning curve."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"It depends on the number of users but it starts at $20 per month per user. I would rate them a three out of five for pricing."
"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"I am using the free version, but my clients are paying for it. When they start, they evaluate it for 30 days, and after seeing the value, they move to its paid version."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
"Buying a software solution is only a half part of the solution (or even less). You need to optimize usage of the software by hiring professionals who will help you to make the most of the software, especially in the beginning."
