Efficiently track and document projects with seamless tool integration
We are a management warehouse that provides services to different customers in different sectors. Primarily, we serve the banking sector and the military sector. We manage all the software delivery projects through tools such as JIRA Service Management or TFS Confluence is a great tool for…
Edward Carbutt - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"This is the most complete and versatile enterprise task management product and issue tracker."
"The dashboards in Jira have been the most useful feature."
"This is a flexible tool for logging and tracking issues efficiently."
"Great to be able to create customized forms."
"Easy to use and user-friendly."
"Reporting and easy export to Excel spreadsheets."
"With Jira Service Desk, the simplicity of setting up a quick form and getting the service desk running quickly is very helpful."
"Jira Service Management is flexible. It is easy to navigate without requiring extra learning. The user experience has been good."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is highly stable."
 

Cons

"The documentation needs improving, it's difficult to find specific procedures."
"During the updates, when another version gets released, whatever I am tracking at that time gets lost and I have to type it all over again."
"It is difficult to navigate if you don't have any prior knowledge."
"Jira Service Management is expensive and not worth the money compared to monday.com."
"As a consultant, I have used the support. Some of the support I have received has been good and other times it could improve."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface and the queues."
"Generally requires the purchase of additional plugins."
"Initially, as a completely new user, the interface was not very user-friendly, with many cluttered options."
"We're still biased towards our previous, more mature product. 4me still needs to reach that level of maturity."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"But about the plugins, I found one plug-in — its name is Actionable Metric I think — and it is $3000. That is very expensive for users in Iran."
"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."
"This pricing falls on the lower end of the spectrum, making it a cost-effective option."
"The pricing is expensive."
