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."
"Jira Service Management is flexible. It is easy to navigate without requiring extra learning. The user experience has been good."
"The platform is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the management tools."
"We have found the issue type feature particularly valuable, as it provides an out-of-the-box solution that aligns with our needs."
"The automated workflows have helped streamline our IT processes."
"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 most valuable feature of JIRA Service Management is a plugin we are using for the front end for simple user forms."
"It has improved our work in a number of ways. First, it has made everything much faster. Before Jira Service Management, it could take weeks to resolve a ticket."
 

Cons

"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"The initial setup is very complex."
"It would be better if it had capabilities to connect to mobile applications (e.g., Whatsapp)"
"Include a split configuration in a layer part to allow cloud services to have almost full admin rights in SaaS."
"Cost has prohibited us from switching entirely to this solution."
"Usability needs improvement. To configure it, you need to be well versed in Jira administration. It's not very intuitive."
"The solution needs to be integrated better with Office X5."
"Integration could be improved."
"An AI feature that enables automation and alerts for users can be an 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."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"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."
"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."
"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
"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."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
