### Most mentioned pros

- Overall, Jira Service Management is a robust and scalable ITSM solution that works particularly well for teams already familiar with Jira. While it may require time to fully set up and optimize, it delivers strong long-term value through its flexibility, automation, and integration capabilities.
- Jira Service Management and the Atlassian suite of cloud products provide great value for money for an ecosystem of tools which is rich in features and provide many capabilities such as, ITSM in Jira Service Manage, asset management, project management, agile and scrum features within Jira Software.
- I also appreciate the ability to assign priority levels to each ticket, ensuring teams can effectively triage and focus on the most important requests when managing a high volume of work.

### Most mentioned cons

- However, the initial setup can be tricky, and it’s a bit overwhelming with all the customization options.
- Some parts of the interface are not very intuitive at first, and setup can take time without proper training.
- It's also a pity that we Admins always get to see the content of spaces, because in the HR team we want to have onboarding/offboarding tasks but some of them are confidential and we can't risk having IT or Tech members reading it.

### JIRA good Start and a simple but effective Service Management Tool

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Richard R.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Information Technology and Services

- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: July 2025
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Good to start with, served its purpose and worked as a basic service desk tool. Would have liked more integration and better dashboard reporting. Overall as a starting point, it worked, but the group as a whole needed a more elaborate solution with a focus on more detailed reporting for different tiers of management.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Ease of configuration and customization was relatively easy and and the box experience initially worked well. The team was up and running in a matter of hours, not days.

#### Cons

Not as easy to get integrating,you have to purchase apps or plugins to gain what should be relatively straightforward connections to 3rd party apps.

#### Reasons for choosing JIRA Service Management

We trialled for over a year as the group was using this as a service management tool. Eventually the group migrated to Freshdesk from Freshworks.

overall experience with Jira Service Management has been positive. It is a reliable platform for managing projects, service requests, and team collaboration. The reporting tools and dashboards provide good visibility into workloads and project progress. I especially appreciate how it supports Agile and Scrum practices by helping teams stay organized and meet deadlines more efficiently. While there is a learning curve, the features and flexibility make it a valuable tool for project and service management.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5

#### Pros

One of the best things about Jira Service Management is how organized and customizable it is. The platform makes it easier to manage tickets, track issues, and keep communication clear between teams. I also like the automation features because they save time and reduce repetitive tasks. The integration with other Atlassian products works very smoothly, especially for Agile and Scrum workflows.

#### Cons

The system can feel overwhelming for new users because there are so many features and configuration options. Some parts of the interface are not very intuitive at first, and setup can take time without proper training. Pricing can also become expensive for larger teams that need advanced features

I love how easy it is to manage and prioritize support tickets. The automation saves us tons of time daily.

#### Reasons for switching to JIRA Service Management

JIRA offered deeper integration with our dev team and better workflow customization.

### Flawed but functional

- Overall rating: 3/5

While the automation and workflow management is the biggest winner, Atlassian's product severely lacks in both utility and UX. Industry-standard features are stuck in the forever wishlist queue, and it takes years for them to be developed, e.g. "Canned responses" were introduced somewhere around 2 years ago while the rest of the industry had them as early as 2017. Atlassian's product [sensitive content hidden] seem to have little experience in ticketing jobs, and they focus the development roadmap on less impactful developments like "easier Zoom calls" and leaving out basic functions like ticket splitting and merging. This product is also rarely able to cover your scenarios to the full unless you have an engineer ready to create 3rd party applications or plugins. To give an example, JSM allows us to automate ticket assignment but is unable to take into account employee unavailability- we needed to create a separate panel where we would auto-upload data from our HR software just to let the JSM know about who is unavailable on a given day- a feature other ticketing systems resolved through "if you go on a holiday, push this button to mark yourself as unavailable". I could go on and make this section more tl;dr;

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 2/5

#### Pros

JSM allows the creation of robust automated workflows. The framework is flexible and allows it to be modified or extended through the application of 3rd party scripts or plugins.

#### Cons

Limited ability to customize and change both the customer portal and the agent's view.

#### Reasons for switching to JIRA Service Management

Freshdesk had limited automation and workflow management, which put significant ticket management overhead on our employees. The ticket portal was very basic.

### An Excellent Service Management Tool For Small and Large Organizations

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Adebayo A.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: February 2025
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

Overall, it's a wonderful tool and it has helped make the team more efficient. The ease with which we can accept requests, track progress, and also notify customers has really helped us to remove the difficulty we had with resolving customer issues. It's also great that requests can be linked to Jira tickets allowing for easy reference to existing and collaboration between our customer support team and our technical team.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

We have used Jira Service Management for a while to manage IT requests in my organization and the part I love most about it is the simplicity of use. From the dashboard, it's easy to have an overall view of pending requests and easily manage the requests. With Jira Service, our support team is quickly able to triage, diagnose, and resolve any ticket within the organization.

#### Cons

While it's a great tool, we sometimes have issues with the email component. Our customers send requests via email and widgets and the widget works perfectly. But sometimes, we don't get the issues sent via email on the Service Desk Dashboard. In some rare cases too, when we reply to a customer, the customer doesn't get the email and this leads to a breakdown in communications and support.

#### Reasons for switching to JIRA Service Management

We didn't have as much customization and feature as needed

### Great for tech companies but not for the average small business

I think if they had a quick start guide for collaborative inbox, it would be a great tool for small businesses. Currently, I believe it to be best for software/tech companies.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I'm currently using Freshdesk and looking to switch and Jira has a great offer for small businesses to have 3 free users which is why I tested it for the collaborative inbox feature.

#### Cons

Jira was too hard to setup because it is just so powerful. It would be great if it was simplified for the average user.

#### Reasons for switching to JIRA Service Management

Reddit forums said it was free for 3 users which is perfect for our company but was ultimately too robust for what we needed.

I have used Fogbugz, Incident IQ, and propietary software for ticket management and Jira was one of the better ones we used. It was very helpful and easy to report and fix issues as they arose. It was easy to see where a project was at and keep a good work flow.

Support continually let us know when features were available and there were very little issues we would run into.

#### Cons

The search feature sometimes was not as reliable, would show items not related, or not show items related to the search terms.

We wanted more features than were available

### Good project management tool/ticketing system

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

What I really like about Jira is the ability to create multiple boards for different teams, which keeps workstreams clearly organized and easy to manage. It makes it simple to separate priorities while still maintaining overall visibility. I also appreciate the ability to assign priority levels to each ticket, ensuring teams can effectively triage and focus on the most important requests when managing a high volume of work.

#### Cons

One challenge I’ve experienced with Jira is that, as a ticket submitter, it can be difficult to easily find and keep track of all the requests I’ve submitted to different teams. They don’t always appear in my recent items, which makes visibility and follow-up more time-consuming than it should be.

#### Cons

There is a double-edge sword meaning, all of the history stays with it, meaning, the ticket becomes very long, but then again, all the history is long. I also have had problems adding someone to a ticket where they can input.
