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.

Comprehensive IT service processes have been supported but customization and support need improvement
All ITSM functionalities of SymphonyAI IT Service Management, including incident, problem, change, service request, and their out-of-the-box functionalities, are pretty good. SymphonyAI IT Service Management does not have too many integrations and does not have too many out-of-the-box integrations compared to other peers in the market. I think that is the only place where they lack. However, they did have a functionality where we could build our own integration, so we were using that. If they had any out-of-the-box capabilities for some of the common infrastructure tools, that would have been easier for us. The out-of-the-box functionalities were good, including AI. However, the moment we had to customize options, that becomes very difficult with SymphonyAI IT Service Management. As long as we were using out-of-the-box, it worked great.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Service Management is great if you're an Atlassian shop already using JIRA for the development team and you want another tool for help desk ticketing. When it's all under the same umbrella, I can easily take a ticket from the help desk and move it to the development team. You can't beat that integration between two products."
"The query language and the ability to create views of the data are very useful."
"Jira Service Management is flexible; it is easy to navigate without requiring extra learning, and the user experience has been good."
"Jira lets us customize the workflow to meet our requirements. The email and alert features are also handy."
"The dashboards are nicely laid out."
"I'm mainly working in the ITSM module of JIRA Service Management, and the integration between the system incident and how you can link all the records to the change makes it quite powerful."
"The product is not lacking anything that a QA will want to use."
"A good organizational tool."
"The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's chat box feature has reduced our service discount, and because it's intelligent, the responses that go out to the users have improved, and the resolutions are much faster."
"It is a good tool to use."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's chat box feature has reduced our service discount, and because it's intelligent, the responses that go out to the users have improved, and the resolutions are much faster."
"The product has the best features for ITSM."
"All ITSM functionalities of SymphonyAI IT Service Management, including incident, problem, change, service request, and their out-of-the-box functionalities, are pretty good."

Cons

"Field addition and removal features are not very intuitive in JIRA Service Management."
"JIRA Service Management could improve the forms; they need to add additional information for a better understanding of the whole picture of the issue or problem."
"The initial setup is very complex."
"The interface could be made easier to use."
"The documentation needs improving, it's difficult to find specific procedures."
"Technical support is so-so. Some of them are good, some bad."
"The search function could be improved. We have to search a certain way. There is no generic search; it is more object-oriented search."
"I don't think the program is very scalable."
"I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now."
"There could be flexibility in terms of customization."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."
"Technical support takes too long for any issues to get resolved, and that created a lot of frustration."
"Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."
"I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
"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 price of the solution is becoming expensive and it should be reduced."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being really high and five being good, I would rate the price of this solution as a four."
"We have a regular license."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's pricing is a bit expensive."
"The product's cost is average."
