Efficiently track and document projects with seamless tool integration

It's provided self-service and automation, notifications, and reporting, although adding group names is a complicated process.
It’s always the little things. There used to be a spell-check function that allowed us to add technical terms, but it no longer exists, and I’d like to have that back. Also, adding group names is a complicated process that involves adding analyst names, and analysts change all the time, so it's nearly impossible to consistently add group names.

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 features of JIRA Service Management are the service level agreement or management, and the ticketing system. Additionally, there are frequent updates that provide improvements."
"Everyone knows how to use it, so there's no need to teach new members."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Customizations are most valuable. The customization of workflows is the main power of the Atlassian tools in general."
"Reporting and easy export to Excel spreadsheets."
"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 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."
"Automation capabilities allow for automatic ticket creation using monitoring tools."
"The solution is a highly mature product. Because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."
 

Cons

"The solution should be more formalized. It could be more user-friendly."
"The price is a point of contention for me. It does overall work out as a significant amount of money that will be spent over a shorter period of time."
"Jira Service Management is expensive and not worth the money compared to monday.com."
"The initial setup of JIRA Service Management can be complex for new users. There is a lot of configuration."
"They need to work on the speed of Jira."
"The documentation needs improving, it's difficult to find specific procedures."
"The platform should be more user-friendly. JIRA's user interface needs training to understand and utilize."
"As a consultant, I have used the support. Some of the support I have received has been good and other times it could improve."
"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
"Costs are about $50 per user per year. JIRA is sold in user tiers of 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 2000, 10,000, and unlimited users. It is bad when you have 51 users then the price is based on that 100 user tier. Users at 100 will be the most cost effective."
"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."
"The cost has recently increased. It might be around $20 to $25 per user license."
"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"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."
