Reliable, excellent support, and scalable
Pros and Cons
  • "The stability of JIRA Service Management is good."
  • "JIRA Service Management could improve the forms. When you complete the form for the ticket, for example, to have more information given to the team. If they needed this information, you can give it to them. They need to add additional information for a better understanding of the whole picture of the issue or problem."

What is our primary use case?

We are using JIRA Service Management for many operations. Our organization is a call center and we use it for fixing phones, adding phones, fixing the CRM, faults or bugs on a website, bug-related reports, network issues, and VPN.

What needs improvement?

JIRA Service Management could improve the forms. When you complete the form for the ticket, for example, to have more information given to the team. If they needed this information, you can give it to them. They need to add additional information for a better understanding of the whole picture of the issue or problem.

In a future release, JIRA Service Management should add desktop notifications because at the moment, it's coming through emails. However, if they had desktop notifications, it would help a lot.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using JIRA Service Management for approximately three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of JIRA Service Management is good.

Powerful integration, responsive technical support, and reliable
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "Every time there's a problem with JIRA Service Management, you have to have a look at how to solve it, and there's always a feature request or the feature request on the solution is too large and the development cycles are too slow."

What is our primary use case?

ITIL Service Management - Multi National Service environment 

What is most valuable?

Interoperability of all the modules;

A unified view of work

Dev and Ops that flow

What needs improvement?

JIRA Service Management feature request List.

The products functionally is expanding rapidly, hence there is a huge backlog of Jira product feature requests that are focused on the detail functionality.

There is not enough effort focused on solving the detail functionality of Jira.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used JIRA Service Management for approximately three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have found JIRA Service Management to be stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

JIRA Service Management is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support from JIRA Service Management has been responsive.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I've previously worked with a couple of similar solutions, such as ServiceDesk, HP OpenView, and Zendesk.

How was the initial setup?

We have a complex environment, but the JIRA Service Management was quite simple to implement.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise others that this solution is similar to any other service management solution. There's nothing out of the box, there is always a level of development that has to happen for it to work well.

I rate JIRA Service Management an eight out of ten.

Helps improve and track requests better; service management solution with a good user interface and support
Pros and Cons
  • "This service management solution has a good user interface. It helps improve your IT request requirements and makes tracking requests easier."
  • "With JIRA Service Management, tracking requests is better, because users contact us through tickets, and we are also able to ask for feedback from the users more easily, for example, if our service was good, or if they have any issues with the solution."
  • "The reporting function of this solution, particularly the filters in the portal, could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We implement this solution for service management, e.g. for internal requests. If a user has a new hardware or a new internal requirement, that user will create a ticket that will be assigned to a department and correspond to our people, and then they try to swap support.

What is most valuable?

I find the user interface and support for JIRA Service Management good.

This solution also improved our IT request requirements, compared to when we were using email, e.g. it's difficult to track requests via email. With JIRA Service Management, tracking requests is better, because users contact us through tickets, and we are also able to ask for feedback from the users more easily, e.g. if our service was good, or if they have any issues with the solution.

What needs improvement?

What could be improved in this solution is its reporting function, particularly the filters. There are reports we can implement on the JIRA Service Management portal for the client we create the service for, but the report is not very good for the client. The client wants more filters on the portal, but in this case, we need to go to the portfolio to get the custom report for the client.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used JIRA Service Management for one year.

How are customer service and support?

The support for this solution is good.

What other advice do I have?

We're using the latest version of JIRA Service Management.

My rating for JIRA Service Management is eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Very scalable with good tech support; customer portal allows users to register tickets
Pros and Cons
  • "The customer portal allows users to register tickets themselves."
  • "The solution is scalable; we have currently deployed it to about 35 agents and it will be deployed to around 1200 customers, all of them dealing with creating and resolving tickets."
  • "There is no notification regarding language upgrades."
  • "What is lacking is the communication around these changes because we come across them almost by chance, and not because of any notification we've received."

What is our primary use case?

We are using Service Management for the ticketing for our IT Help Desk. We are a government organization and I'm a senior manager.

What is most valuable?

We went with this product because the customer portal allows users to register tickets themselves.

What needs improvement?

Since we've moved to the cloud we've seen some improvement in foreign languages. What is lacking is the communication around these changes because we come across them almost by chance, and not because of any notification we've received. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using this solution for six months. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. We have currently deployed it to about 35 agents and it will be deployed to around 1200 customers. All of them deal with creating and resolving tickets.

How are customer service and support?

I have no complaints with customer support. We contacted them a couple of times and even though the problem was at our end, they helped to resolve it satisfactorily. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was quite straightforward. We used two in-house people and one very helpful external consultant. We had about 15 half-day workshops with the consultant over a six-month period. We took our time and didn't work continuously on the implementation. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Licensing costs are standard and can be seen on the Atlassian website. It's not an expensive solution. 

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend that when deploying use an external consultant who has already used the product before. It makes things easier because they'll know what to do and, more importantly, what not to do. 

It's an ideal solution and I rate it 10 out of 10.

Simple to install, but the interface could be simplified
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of this solution are Incident and Request Management."
  • "I would like to see the user interface changed, it is not very user-friendly, and it transitions workflows."

What is our primary use case?

We are end-users of this product.

We use JIRA Service Management as a ticket logging tool for our service desk.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of this solution are Incident and Request Management.

What needs improvement?

It's probably not fair of me to say because we weren't allowed to customize or configure anything. If I bought JIRA as a product, I could have it customized and configured, whereas I'm currently using a version of it provided by a much larger organization that is in line with the rest of the organization. As a result, it is not constructed in the manner that I would prefer. 

I would like to see the user interface changed, it is not very user-friendly, and it transitions workflows.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

JIRA Service Management is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's very scalable. It is constantly being scaled as our company grows and they take over other companies. JIRA Service Management is very scalable.

I can only speak for the Irish arm of the organization, which has about 80 members, but it's part of a much larger organization, and I'm not sure how many people use it in other countries.

It is the primary tool for the service desk and other IT workers. It will most likely be used more widely for other teams in the future.

How are customer service and support?

Because we are part of a global organization, any issues are routed to our internal staff. I am not sure how frequently they would contact Atlassian technical support.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. We added it as a tenant to an existing JIRA solution.

The deployment process took a month.

What about the implementation team?

The installation was all completed in-house, and we had JIRA experts on hand.

The experts were very good and efficient. They did what they had promised to do.

What was our ROI?

The main organization, the international organization, would be in charge of that. I can't say for certain, but I believe they have seen a return on investment.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked into ServiceNow a while ago, but we no longer have that requirement.

We use a product, but it is not ServiceNow. It's a centralized item. We were bought out by a European company. We are on their service.

What other advice do I have?

Allow customization and configuration to suit your needs.

I would rate JIRA Service Management a seven out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

A great organizational tool that is solid
Pros and Cons
  • "A good organizational tool."
  • "I think the general consensus is that Service Management is a good organizational and solid product."
  • "Lacks an interface where the customer can report issues."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We've been using Jira for its services and for analysis. We're now re-evaluating, comparing it with other products and assessing whether it's among the top IT services. I'm very, very familiar with it, but will throw it open to my colleagues who will take a look at it from a different perspective and see whether we need to make a change. We are product resellers and provide consumer services. I'm a freelance managed service specialist.

What is most valuable?

I think the general consensus is that Service Management is a good organizational and solid product.  

What needs improvement?

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. We need to know how the customer is dealing with the product and what issues they might be having. If I'm unable to do that, I'll lose the business. It's what we need in terms of service management because if we had that feature we'd be able to show our customers how fast and efficient we are. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for five years. 

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is good once you pass through the web portal. At that point, the support takes over. If you're not in the system it can be difficult to get through to support. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

If you're familiar with the solution, implementation is quite straightforward. It can be complicated if you've never done it before. We have 120 users in the company. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Licensing is expensive if you're not getting what you need. Customers will pay if they're satisfied with the product but if they don't get what they want, they won't purchase it, no matter how cheap. 

What other advice do I have?

In our roadmap for this year, we are evaluating which technologies can help us do our work quickly and increase revenue. 

I rate the solution eight out of 10.

Problem-free with a straightforward setup and a good interface
Pros and Cons
  • "The dashboards are nicely laid out."
  • "The Jira interface is very good."
  • "The initial setup is very complex."

What is most valuable?

The Jira interface is very good.

The product offers very good configurations.

The dashboards are nicely laid out.

The solution has been problem-free for two years.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

The scalability is great.

What needs improvement?

The initial setup is very complex. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable. the performance is good. It's problem-free. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is fine. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very complex. It's not straightforward and simple. 

What about the implementation team?

We handle installations and implementations for our clients.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

There's just a standard licensing fee that we pay on a monthly basis. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We're currently in the process of comparing Jira and ServiceNow to see which would be the better product for us.

Also, we have a client that is seeking out a product and they want us to advise them on the best option. We're looking at Jira and ServiceNow for them.

What other advice do I have?

My company is a partner of Atlassian.

While I prefer Jira over solutions such as ServiceNow, we do need to look at various options when advising clients. As an Atlassian partner, it's important to be able to look at other options and see the difference and show a client why Jira is a superior choice. 

Overall, I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

User friendly but more costly and less feature-rich than some solutions
Pros and Cons
  • "JIRA Service Management is much better than the normal JIRA software that we had, as it is much more controlled and allows for different kinds of customization that we can plan and implement based on the project requirements."
  • "It has change management and incident management, but CMDB is not there. It's also not as user-friendly as ServiceNow."
  • "The cost of the license is too high; it's a real challenge for companies that aren't already using JIRA products."

What is our primary use case?

We are using JIRA as a ticketing tool.

What is most valuable?

JIRA Service Management is much better than the normal JIRA software that we had. It is much more controlled and allows for different kinds of customization that we can plan and implement based on the project requirements.

What needs improvement?

I used ServiceNow for a long time in my earlier work. Compared to ServiceNow, there are a lot of areas where JIRA can improve. ServiceNow itself has various modules, like Change Management, Knowledge Management, and CMDB. All of these things are integrated, so if they are properly implemented, then it becomes a tool with a single repository. With JIRA, I don't see the same features. It has change management and incident management, but CMDB is not there. It's also not as user-friendly as ServiceNow.

For how long have I used the solution?

We implemented JIRA Service Management about eight months ago, but I've been using JIRA software for two years.

How was the initial setup?

JIRA Service Management is very easy to set up relative to other JIRA software.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The cost of the license is too high. It's a real challenge for companies that aren't already using JIRA products. ServiceNow or other tools have more modules, and they charge less relative to the number of features they offer.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate JIRA Service Management seven out of 10. If you are already working with JIRA, then you should definitely go with JIRA Service Management. It is very user-friendly and with all its ticketing tools, it offers some new methods of working.

Promotes collaboration between team members providing internal and external support
Pros and Cons
  • "One of the best features is that I can share tickets with team members, at which point any team member is able to pick one up and work on it."
  • "They need to work on the speed of Jira."

What is our primary use case?

We are using Jira Service Desk for supporting both internal and external clients. 

What is most valuable?

One of the best features is that I can share tickets with team members, at which point any team member is able to pick one up and work on it. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I began using Jira Service Desk when I joined the company about two and a half years ago, although the rest of the company has been using it for longer than that.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have had a problem with stability in the past, although it has been resolved.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have contacted technical support about different features and I find that they don't address issues as fast as they should.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Has good simplicity but access management needs improvement
Pros and Cons
  • "The simplicity is good for our clients. The price is good."
  • "There should be better connections with access management. They should improve the connectivity."

What is most valuable?

The simplicity is good for our clients. The price is good. 

You can increase users without any difficulty. 

What needs improvement?

There should be better connections with access management. They should improve the connectivity. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using JIRA Service Desk since 2016.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is very stable. Our clients don't have problems with stability. 

How are customer service and technical support?

We do the technical support for our clients. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have worked with HP products, BMC Remedy, and Service Manager. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Our customers think that the pricing is high. Compared to the competitors, I think the pricing is fair. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate JIRA Service Desk a seven out of ten.
