Practitioner - Service Management at Peristent Systems
An affordable and scalable solution that provides an excellent UI and many out-of-the-box integration capabilities
The product’s UI is very good. The tool’s performance is very good. The overall performance of the tool and the navigation is fast. It is very responsive. It has a lot of out-of-the-box integration capabilities with some of the common tools that we want to integrate. If something is not available out of the box, creating or configuring a new integration on HaloITSM is easier compared to other tools.

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

"The most valuable aspect is that is is codeless."
"The solution's initial setup process was quite straightforward... I rate the technical support a nine and a half out of ten."
"The product’s UI is very good."
"The platform is easy to use."
"Great to be able to create customized forms."
"Easy to use and user-friendly."
"JIRA Service Management is a very user-friendly solution."
"Confluence is a great tool for documentation and tracking."
"One of the valuable features is that an automatic response or action can be taken on tickets."
"The automations will really help the company by delegating work the way your company operates."
"Jira lets us customize the workflow to meet our requirements. The email and alert features are also handy."
 

Cons

"The product does not have its own orchestration engine."
"The solution's integration part needs to improve...In the future release of the solution, I expect to see certain changes in the programming of the solution. A customer of the solution should be able to customize it as per their need."
"There are no improvements needed. There is very little that HALO has not already built that is not on its roadmap."
"Technical support is so-so. Some of them are good, some bad."
"For us, one of the weaknesses of Service Desk is that we can not check every issue in the queue raised for one product."
"JIRA Service could benefit from improvements to its voice support. We need to have quick customer care implementation for anyone trying to connect."
"Some of the areas that could be improved are with the customizations."
"We have a lot of add-ons, however, instead of the add-ons, for example, cloning could be better."
"The user interface becomes sluggish when there are many items in the database, especially large Product Backlogs. I've had page-load times of more than 30 seconds on modern clients, and that's just unacceptable."
"SaaS version for large organizations (more than 2000 users) is not available."
"Lacks an interface where the customer can report issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s pricing is competitive and less complicated."
"The solution's pricing model is good. Also, they still follow the old concurrent licensing method."
"It's $69 per user per month. Only administrators need a license, and there is no limit to the number of endpoints."
"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
"It is one of the premium products on the market, but it is very costly, especially in the Indian market."
"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
