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

"Automation capabilities allow for automatic ticket creation using monitoring tools."
"Using JIRA simplifies tracking issues and updates."
"The centralized feature allows us to track test cases and integrate with automation and bug fixing."
"Reporting and easy export to Excel spreadsheets."
"JIRA helps integrate Kanban Board features and for this reason what it does it does well."
"With Jira Service Desk, the simplicity of setting up a quick form and getting the service desk running quickly is very helpful."
"What I really like about this solution, is how it manages the queues, the tickets and the routing."
"A good organizational tool."
"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."
"The solution is highly stable."
"It offers a comprehensive set of features without requiring additional payments for each feature."
 

Cons

"I would like to see improvement in the ability to filter completed tasks."
"The licensing model could be improved."
"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."
"The licensing model could be improved. There needs to be a different licensing model for large numbers of employees, as it remains one of the main barriers to using JIRA Service Management across our entire company."
"A lot of users have said that they want a feature that was on the on-prem version of Jira and the vendor can't deliver. They're either unwilling or unable to give feature parity."
"It is difficult to navigate if you don't have any prior knowledge."
"It would be beneficial if we could turn comments into subtasks or other JIRA tickets directly."
"An AI feature that enables automation and alerts for users can be an improvement."
"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

"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
"I am using the free version, but my clients are paying for it. When they start, they evaluate it for 30 days, and after seeing the value, they move to its paid version."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is one of the premium products on the market, but it is very costly, especially in the Indian market."
"The licensing costs on the website are about $60 for pay-as-you-go. And then it decreases based on volume discounts or something."
"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."
