Reviews of JIRA Service Management
Probably the top program for managing projects
Comments: Jira is a sophisticated and flexible project management solution with a wide range of applications. Jira's strengths lie in the depth of its task management features, the breadth of its integrations, and the depth of its reporting and analytics tools, all of which contribute to the program's capacity to help you better understand your projects and teams.
Pros:
To accommodate the fact that various people have different ways of doing things, this user interface may be easily altered to fit individual needs. Jira makes it simple and quick to design and implement unique workflows and rules. One way to break down large projects into manageable chunks is to keep everyone in the loop on how things are shaping up.
Cons:
Jira's flexibility allows for personalization, but more in-depth modifications may call for specialized skillsets.Performance difficulties: Some users may have performance issues, especially when working with larger projects or those that include complicated procedures.
Expert service management system
Comments: I mainly use it for task management on small projects, but I plan to gradually expand the scope of use as I get used to the operation and screen environment. Since it can be used in a wide range, it is recommended that I use it for task management and workflow for small-scale projects with a small number of people to get a feel for its operation. Sharing issues with project members in other companies or remote locations is possible. You can discuss and work on a common visualized platform, such as managing work progress and solving problems.
Pros:
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.
Cons:
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).
Alternatives Considered: ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
Reasons for Choosing JIRA Service Management: Because we can search by tag, we can quickly find problems and solutions, success stories and reference examples. Since the SLA can be configured according to individual design, the achievement status can be confirmed in a report, and the current progress and what needs to be done can be shared immediately. Full-text search is possible with indexing, so this system has a sense of security, even if you think you missed it.

Reasons for Switching to JIRA Service Management: Functionality that manages queries centrally. Improved working conditions enhance visualization and efficiency. Queries, support and information distribution are centralized, so there is no waste in work, and it is simple and clear what to do next so that I can do my job.
Jira is a good tool but need to know the limitation
Comments: The ITSM offers a high-quality service and a competitive price compared to other tools. However, it requires a skilled implementation partner for a successful deployment. This tool also needs ongoing support and maintenance to ensure optimal performance. It is not advisable to rely on a short-term professional service during deployment without continuous support/improvement.
Pros:
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.
Cons:
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.
Good but needs integrations to look better
Pros:
Managing projects in service management is easy & integrating various applications into it is seamless
Cons:
A bit confusing at first, roles seem jumbled at first glance & service management itself is a bit ugly when looking at it externally
Alternatives Considered: Zendesk Suite
Reasons for Switching to JIRA Service Management: JIRA was already integrated so it was the easier choice
Jira used by a system engineer
Comments: Overall, JIRA Service Management is powerful and customizable, but has a complex setup, steep learning curve, and can be costly.
Pros:
Seamless JIRA integration, customizable workflows, advanced automation, user-friendly interface, robust reporting, scalable, SLA management, and extensive third-party integrations.
Cons:
Complex setup, expensive for small teams, slower with large data, steep learning curve, and overwhelming customization for non-tech users.
