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

"Jira is becoming quite popular and is well supported."
"The customer portal allows users to register tickets themselves."
"From where I sit, the cloud version is superior, mainly due to not having to manage the upkeep of Jira, which was quite frankly a pain, but that's just the nature of Jira."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility of defining your own workflows and automation around the workflows, and the integration with the gate or any repository."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its SLA, which everybody wants when it comes to a service-based offering."
"Apart from ticket management and workflow, the Kanban board is one of the helpful tools in Jira."
"Developing processes is easy and user-friendly."
"JIRA Service Management impacts my organization positively because it is easy to use, and everyone is happy to use it."
"The solution is highly stable."
"I like their request management as well as their project management."
"It offers a comprehensive set of features without requiring additional payments for each feature."
"When compared to BMC Helix ITSM, the 4me setup is much simpler and less complicated."
"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."
 

Cons

"The product is supposed to include an interface where the customer can report issues, things they cannot resolve easily. It's not there at the moment so it's more difficult to resolve issues with the OEMs."
"The reporting function of this solution, particularly the filters in the portal, could be improved."
"We have a lot of add-ons, however, instead of the add-ons, for example, cloning could be better."
"The queries are weak and lack advanced functionality. You can do rudimentary queries, but you can't aggregate. You can't filter for a lot of things that would be useful, so you need to use plugins to write writing advanced queries. I run into problems when working with different organizations because they always have restrictions on what kind of plugins they allow."
"I don't think the program is very scalable. It lacks scaling capabilities from the performance perspective and load balancing and some other infrastructure capabilities."
"While I really like Scriptrunner, there are behaviors we don't have in the cloud."
"JIRA Service Management is costly."
"The way it handles subtasks can be improved. We would really like the ability to have different types of subtasks."
"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."
"One area where I believe there's room for improvement in the 4me system is the absence of an asset discovery tool."
"Asset Discovery is a feature that should be added."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"The price of the solution is becoming expensive and it should be reduced."
"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."
"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."
"It is the most affordable because it is priced per month per user."
"The pricing is expensive."
"This pricing falls on the lower end of the spectrum, making it a cost-effective option."
"The licensing costs on the website are about $60 for pay-as-you-go. And then it decreases based on volume discounts or something."
