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."
"It scales well."
"We have an Agile environment and using Jira makes it easy to adhere to Agile best practices."
"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."
"The solution offers lots of information on the website to assist with technical queries. There are also many community sites to help you troubleshoot any problems."
"Transparency of the system helps both internal and external persons involved."
"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."
"Compared to other solutions, Jira Service Management is really reasonable regarding price and speed."
"Jira gets the basics right in terms of the product backlog and a scrum board teams can use to manage sprint backlogs."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product does not have its own orchestration engine."
"There are no improvements needed. There is very little that HALO has not already built that is not on its roadmap."
"Jira Service Management should be more user-friendly."
"Jira Service Management is expensive and not worth the money compared to monday.com."
"JIRA Service Management is costly."
"The initial setup of JIRA Service Management can be complex for new users. There is a lot of configuration."
"This solution lacks features for project management."
"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."
"The solution needs to be integrated better with Office X5."
"It would be beneficial if we could turn comments into subtasks or other JIRA tickets directly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product’s pricing is competitive and less complicated."
"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."
"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."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
"For the people like us, the lower the price, the better. But when compared to other competitors, I think it's Jira's price is okay."
"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."
