Useful ticketing system, frequent updates, and scalable
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of JIRA Service Management are the service level agreement or management, and the ticketing system. Additionally, there are frequent updates that provide improvements."
  • "As a consultant, I have used the support. Some of the support I have received has been good and other times it could improve."

What is our primary use case?

I implement JIRA Service Management for customers. The solution is used for IT Service Management.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of JIRA Service Management are the service level agreement or management, and the ticketing system. Additionally, there are frequent updates that provide improvements.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

JIRA Service Management is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

As a consultant, I have used the support. Some of the support I have received has been good and other times it could improve.

I rate the support from JIRA Service Management a seven out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The solution is the cloud which does not need any installation. However, we are doing implementations, and it is easy to use. For a data center, it needs installations. Data centers have a special set of load balancers, nodes, databases, et cetera. Cloud implementation is simpler than database implementation.

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

The price of the solution is becoming expensive and it should be reduced.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Most of the clients need to implement ITSM, which makes JIRA Service Management a crucial tool, especially if they are using JIRA software for the development team. There is integration between the two products, it's better to use JIRA Service Management when having to combine the two solutions.

What other advice do I have?

The administration maintenance and daily tasks are easy but need special skills and training.

My advice to others is they need to be an expert to be able to administer it.

I rate JIRA Service Management a ten 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 solution great for the management of backlog and prioritizing tasks
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is straightforward."
  • "The performance in cloud service management could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case for the solution is the management of backlog and prioritizing tasks for the team. We deploy the solution on cloud.

What needs improvement?

The performance in cloud service management could be improved. For example, sometimes queries get stuck, and when you search for a specific thing, it freezes until you refresh the page. There is room for improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using the solution for a year and a half.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. Approximately 500 users utilize it in our organization.

How are customer service and support?

We have not had experience with customer service and support.

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

We previously used Teamwork.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

What other advice do I have?

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution is good, but the performance in cloud service management could be improved.

Flexible solution with good integration but high costs for plugins
Pros and Cons
  • "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 main issue with this solution is there's no limited subscription available for plugins we only use for a few people. If we only have a team of twenty using a plugin, we still have to purchase a subscription for the whole 200 users."

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

The main issue with this solution is there's no limited subscription available for plugins we only use for a few people. If we only have a team of twenty using a plugin, we still have to purchase a subscription for the whole 200 users.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for a year and a half.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We're using the cloud version, which I think is more stable than the on-prem.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

JIRA Service Management is scalable, but there are some issues that cloud instances can't be linked with server-based instances.

How are customer service and support?

JIRA's technical support is good and responsive.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup for the cloud instance was very straightforward.

What other advice do I have?

If you're not bound to the Microsoft platform, I would say you must go for JIRA as it's more flexible than the Microsoft equivalent. I'd give JIRA a rating of seven out of ten.

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."
  • "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.

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."
  • "There is no notification regarding language upgrades."

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?
