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.

Offers multi-tenancy architecture, both in terms of functionality and reporting, requires minimal configuration and no-code deployment
We're still biased towards our previous, more mature product. 4me still needs to reach that level of maturity. However, for most users, the product will do what they need. It's only when you have mature service management processes and need deeper integrations at the process level that you might encounter some limitations. But for less mature needs, 4me works well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Confluence is a great tool for documentation and tracking."
"Simplicity is a key aspect. It is not hard to use."
"JIRA Service Management is a very user-friendly solution."
"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 automated workflows have helped streamline our IT processes."
"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. The user experience has been good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its SLA, which everybody wants when it comes to a service-based offering."
"It offers a comprehensive set of features without requiring additional payments for each feature."
"The multi-tenancy architecture, both in terms of functionality and reporting, is the best feature. It is a really well-thought, designed, and developed part of this product."
"The solution is highly stable."
"I like their request management as well as their project management."
 

Cons

"I feel that Atlassian isn't really interested in fixing everything because if they did, the partners that are developing the fixes and features would not have a place in the market."
"Initially, as a completely new user, the interface was not very user-friendly, with many cluttered options."
"Usability needs improvement. To configure it, you need to be well versed in Jira administration. It's not very intuitive."
"When you raise a ticket with Jira, there's no ability to see your other JIRA tickets."
"I rate Atlassian support two out of 10. It takes a lot of time to reach them and get ahold of someone who understands my problem enough to provide a solution. Also, I live in Israel, so my work week is Sunday through Thursday, but I can only contact them from Monday to Wednesday."
"The support we received was not fully provided at that time."
"In the Turkish market, the biggest problem is that they are looking for a server type of solution, but when it comes to Jira Service Management, Atlassian is a remote type of license. There are just two different options, data center and cloud."
"I don't think the program is very scalable."
"One area where I believe there's room for improvement in the 4me system is the absence of an asset discovery tool."
"We would like to be able to customize and brand the solution, or at least the majority of its features and dashboards, particularly those that will be used by a large number of people."
"We're still biased towards our previous, more mature product. 4me still needs to reach that level of maturity."
"Asset Discovery is a feature that should be added."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Service Management four out of 10 for affordability. The price could be better, especially for companies using more than one Atlassian product. It's suitable for SMBs that can afford it. I don't think there's another tool that's both better and cheaper. All help desk tools are relatively expensive."
"The price for JIRA Service Management is reasonable and cheaper than other ITSM solutions, but the licensing model is different, so you cannot compare it with other solutions. Overall, the pricing for the solution is acceptable."
"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."
"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."
"This is pricey solution. Should we move to using all cloud solutions in our business, we may move to different tools that have multiple functionality versus having a solution for each area. This would be too pricey and we would need to replace Jira with a different solution that also offers other features."
"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 may upgrade the license that we have. The license that we currently have is good for 500 agents, and it's not full yet."
"Do not forget to calculate add-on costs. These cost a percentage of the JIRA purchasing costs and are based on the number of JIRA users."
"It is the most affordable because it is priced per month per user."
"The licensing costs on the website are about $60 for pay-as-you-go. And then it decreases based on volume discounts or something."
"The pricing is expensive."
"This pricing falls on the lower end of the spectrum, making it a cost-effective option."
