JIRA Service Management Reviews

It is a slightly different tool from the so-called general ITSM system (or service). Operation and maintenance (though not limited to) tend to be individualized. Still, JIRA caters to tasks and support on a "role" basis, so sharing knowledge using OJT is possible, depending on ingenuity.

It may be a problem due to the multifunction, but I think the problem is that the screen is a bit hard to see. (The problem may be solved by changing the layout of frequently used functions, but I haven't used it much yet, so I think it will be a problem that will be solved as I use it).

Jira's ITSM module is user-friendly and intuitive. You don't need much training to master it. One of the features I appreciate most is the ability to mention other people with @ in the comment section and keep them updated on the ticket status.

The IT asset management module is very complex and requires a lot of configuration to enable the basic features. The out of box feature in this module was not useful for my purposes. I had to set up the IT asset classes from the schema level, which was time-consuming and tedious.

I find the UI of Jira Service Desk very clean and modern compared to other service desks software on the market. Included with the service desk is a customisable user-facing portal for users to raise tickets in, which proved very popular with staff when raising tickets alongside traditional email tickets. Due to the way Jira splits service desks into different projects, we were able to create service desks for other departments in the organisation which helped improve productivity and workflow. There are some very useful and well-designed default reports included for ticket statistics (which can be used to keep management happy!). We found the default setup of Jira Service Desk fit our needs very well, but it is very easy to customise ticket workflows and other features to suit more complex needs.

For a service desk technician using Jira Service Desk the back-end UI for managing tickets can be a little overwhelming, however this can be fixed by editing the default workflows for tickets to hide not required information and details. The administration settings are somewhat unintuitively set out for system administrators, but once you get to grips with the layout it becomes easy enough to find what you need from the settings page. We found the instructions on the Atlassian website for setting up an external redirect with a custom URL in IIS a little sparse on detail, but a quick trip to the Atlassian forums cleared up any queries we had with the process.

Jira is extremely customizable, scalable, and easy to implement when compared with other SD platforms. Out of the box, it can be used as a tool to track incoming requests, however, paired with the thousands of compatible plugins, it is unparalleled. Jira SD has allowed our HR team to take our daily operations to the next level, transitioning antiquated, clunky paper processes into a 100% paperless experience.

My only complaint is when custom fields are added, you have to update every field configuration you have, individually. This is extremely time-consuming when adding multiple custom fields in an effort to create "forms" within Jira.

JIRA Service Management is a powerful tool that enables teams to customize workflows, processes, and reports according to their unique requirements. It seamlessly integrates with JIRA, allowing teams to easily switch between project and service management workflows while sharing information. The collaboration capabilities of JIRA Service Management are exceptional, as teams can use comments, usernames, and attachments to communicate with each other, ensuring that everyone is up-to-date on critical updates. Automation is another impressive feature that saves a team's time and improves efficiency. Teams can set up automation to automatically route tickets to the appropriate team members, send customer notifications, and update ticket status.Furthermore, JIRA Service Management provides comprehensive reporting and analytics capabilities to help teams track essential metrics and identify areas for improvement. Reports can track response times, resolution times, and customer satisfaction scores, among other things. JIRA Service Management is an invaluable tool that streamlines service management processes and enhances customer satisfaction.

Limited Mobile App Functionality: While JIRA Service Management offers a mobile app, some users have reported its limited functionality compared to the desktop version. This limitation can make it difficult for teams to manage service requests on the go.

The platform offers a wealth of issue tracking features, reports and metrics that make it easy to monitor productivity and identify areas for improvement. In addition, the self-service portal and integrated knowledge base provide end users with useful resources to resolve issues on their own, reducing the support team's workload. Support for process automation is also impressive, enabling the implementation of automated rules and actions to streamline and optimize workflows.

Despite its many advantages, JIRA Service Management can be complex and difficult for new users to learn. Initial setup and customization takes time and effort.

- High Control
- Wide choices of features
- Confluence Integration
- Very rich suite of addons on premise version...

- ...which requires extra costs
- Some features are too basic and pretty much requires addons
- Learning Curve for admin requires effort

It is a software to improve productivity, very good for ticket management, project management, incident management, it is perfect for monitoring and with good functions to improve the productive capacities of the different departments.

It is a product that the first users cannot use perfectly, but after a light training the user adapts perfectly, also the price is high but totally necessary, since the functions and the results are very good.

JIRA Service Management offers robust reporting and analytics capabilities, providing insights into support team performance, ticket trends, and customer satisfaction levels. These metrics help organizations identify areas for improvement and make data-driven decisions to enhance their support processes.

Due to its extensive functionality and customizable nature, there can be a learning curve associated with mastering JIRA Service Management. Administrators and users may need time to understand the platform's features and optimize its use for their specific requirements.

Jira service management is one of the best service desk softwares in the market. The ease of use is great, even for users new to the software. It helps the users keep a proper and clean track of the incidents/tasks/etc they have. One of the best things about Jira Service Management is that multiple teams can easily collaborate and work on it. This enables big projects involving various teams to work seamlessly.

There are not many major disadvantages with using this Jira Service Management software. But a user must be careful while deciding to delete a ticket, because once deleted it is goodbye for ever. It cannot be retrieved. This option can be modified to allow retrieval of deleted tickets to ease the process for users who might delete important tickets unintentionally.

When you use this application as an addition to JIRA, it is a great tandem. I adviced my company to use Service Desk when we were discussing how to receive bugs and ad-hoc requests. We are using this application fro several years and we do not think about changing it.

The only bad point that I can mention about Service Desk is its price. A lot of clients I worked with complained about it. They manage really carefully the number of users that are Agents (users you actually pay for), and get really upset if they were not carefull enough and their bill was higher then they expected.
