JIRA Service Management

About JIRA Service Management

Formerly known as Jira Service Desk, Jira Service Management is an IT service management solution built on the popular Jira platform.

IT is in the midst of rapid transformation to build capabilities that enable rapid delivery of great services while managing cost and risk. But old ways of working constrain progress. Rigid processes limit team agility and speed. Disparate, disconnected tools interrupt the flow of information that accelerates good decision-making. Development and operations teams continue to fight through siloed tooling that’s critical to enabling a high-performing digital business. With Jira Service Management, you can:

- Manage work across teams on one platform
- Enable employees and customers to quickly get the help they need with a self-service portal
- Respond, resolve and continuously learn from incidents
- Innovate faster with automated change risk assessments, advanced approval workflows,
- Connect to CI/CD tools like Bitbucket Pipelines, Jenkins, and CircleCI
- Group incidents to problems, fast-tracking root cause analysis
- Gain visibility into infrastructure and understand service dependencies
- Set up a knowledge base to enable self-service
- Set up advanced SLA metrics and report on performance in real-time
- Configure automate rules so users can streamline repetitive tasks and agents can get more done

Jira Service Management is a leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant, named as a Strong Performer in the Forrester Wave: ESM and used by more than 25,000 organizations worldwide.

Excellent service and project management tool

For the past five years, I've been using Jira, and during that time I've noticed a big improvement just about every time. It has been easy for us to keep track of the work that other teams have completed by logging it and adding service level agreements. You can use it to delegate tasks within your team, track progress on common goals, and share updates with your colleagues in real time or behind closed doors. Because of this, it is an incredible instrument.

Pros

The default settings for Jira Service Management allow you to maximize its potential right away, with nothing in the way of setup. It is possible to personalize it with a wide variety of settings so that it functions just how one would like it to.

Cons

Because our SSO implementation needs it, in order for a user to sign into the customer portal, they will first need to sign into the parent Jira site.

A great option for on-site ICT service desk management

Overall we are very happy with Jira Service Desk; it has allowed us to provide a higher level of support to users than our previous service desk, and non-profit pricing was very beneficial for us. The software is usable in its default setup but we have found that there is still plenty of customisation that can be done if needed to suit more complex requirements.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Alternatives Considered

ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, Freshdesk, and Zendesk Suite

Reasons for Choosing JIRA Service Management

We switched as part of a service contract change which meant our Kaseya service desk which was provided by our MSP was no longer an option. Instead we decided to look at alternative service desk software that could be used for our needs, and as we were at the time considering implementing both OpsGenie and Confluence (which are also Atlassian products) we decided to remain in the Atlassian ecosystem and choose Jira Service Desk.

Switched From

Kaseya VSA

Reasons for Switching to JIRA Service Management

We chose Jira Service Desk as it was one of the few with a pricing model that worked for us; being a non-profit organisation, their free licencing for non-profits was a huge selling point to us. This was coupled with the fact we were at the time considering implementing both OpsGenie and Confluence (which are also Atlassian products) so we felt staying within the Atlassian ecosystem would prove beneficial.

I hate Jira and think the only reason everyone uses it is that they're just used to suffer.Here's an article about it:[SENSITIVE CONTENT]

Pros

After latest update the visuals are quite pleasant.You can really construct complex filters if you know what you're looking for.Task IDs unfurl into links.Permissions are very granular (although complex and you won't understand how to use them).

Cons

Expensive.No obvious features or you have to pay extra: time tracking, dark mode, CHECKBOXES.

We have been using the JIRA service management for the last 4-5 years to manage our different internal projects and other support requests. It made it really easy to manage those along with the implementation projects and integrate them with other tools with ease.

Pros

Ease of onboarding and managing different types of support projects

Cons

We just love this piece of tech and there is nothing specific that we don't like.

I prefer Jira Service Management because it is very similar to Jira software; If you are familiar with Jira software, you will have no problem using this one. Concise but effective.

Pros

First of all, Jira allows us to manage customer support requests in an organized way. They can be tailored to individual squads and relatively easily monitored. All relevant details can be stored in one location in a Jira request. Jira is an easy-to-use tool and request tracker for teams, with features including customizable dashboards, access permissions, and time/effort monitoring.

Cons

Inadequate translation of Jira Service Management into other languages is one of its biggest drawbacks, as it results in an unnatural hybrid between English and the selected language.
