"JIRA Service Desk has all powers of JIRA but for all non-developers roles."

I don't have any item that I dislike, maybe some things could improved but not fatal errors or something ugly.

"My experience with JIRA"
What do you like best about Jira Service Management?

JIRA has an easy-to-use interface and lots of features that help organize my clients' IT tickets and prioritize them accordingly. The robust API allows integration with many software tools and gives me the ability to build my own custom add-ons! Also, the PRICE is NICE! A team of three developers can utilize the service for only $10 per month! That's a huge savings!

What do you dislike about Jira Service Management?

At this moment, I haven't found anything that I dislike about JIRA.

What problems is Jira Service Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

The business problems I am solving by using JIRA are making sure my clients has the means to report IT issues and be able to respond to and prioritize those issues in a timely manner. The benefits of using JIRA are the ability to build a knowledge base of known issues; ability to report on metrics that matter to my clients' business so that we can catch bottlenecks before they happen; ability to collaborate in real-time with my clients using one platform.

"I really like what Jira Does for US"
What do you like best about Jira Service Management?

If you are looking for a tool to manage all of your professional services projects, jira is definitely the way to go. You can setup all of your tasks within the platform, upload the necessary documentation, and setup notifications based on your own specific business parameters.

What do you dislike about Jira Service Management?

I think that per user cost really impacts your scalability. I think that we are constantly trying to manage and scale down all of those users as best as possible. In terms of on shore and off shore resources it really is a great fit for what we are trying to do.

What problems is Jira Service Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have really improved the strength of our team, and visibility into who is doing what.

"Incredible tool for micro management of project"
What do you like best about Jira Service Management?

It's been 4+ years with JIRA now, to begin with, the UI is incredibly intuitive and accurate. We are a team of 17 professionals spanned across the globe who contribute to the project every single day, hence this powerful tool is a must for us to keep the everyone in the team on the same page by assisting work progress shown in the best possible way. Kudos to the tool founders. Cheers!

What do you dislike about Jira Service Management?

I personally haven't come across any such dislike around JIRA yet, though the only attribute that it doesn't have is live chat. I wish this too was there in the tool itself to make project development ultra rich experience. Otherwise, there isn't anything substantial to go down as dislike.

What problems is Jira Service Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

A perfect cross-section of possibly everything in project development, right from the beginning of feasibility study to execution time to deployment to testing and production/regression. This tool keeps everybody in the team informed and helps in bridging the gap between people working in a project spanned across the globe.

"Great Helpdesk Platform"
What do you like best about Jira Service Management?

I like how it forces me and my team to attend to the tasks at hand. We can see all of the requests formerly in disparate emails in one location, and how long they've been there.

What do you dislike about Jira Service Management?

I dislike the UI of the system. I often have users that don't find the ability to select the correct category for their helpdesk requests. My users often just select the first item on the list, which hurts the reporting features that we use on the backend to see where our biggest issues exist and how our resources have been allocated (by issue type) and how to better allocate those resources in the future.

What problems is Jira Service Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving the problem of issues, problems and requests falling through the cracks! Now, I not only get an email: I have a dashboard, where all of my issues live I have a timer that tells me how long this issue has been made known to me (which I can gamify and see how quickly I can clear out my issues I get feedback from my users after I mark their issues as resolved I have quantified data to show my mangers how I spend my time and where I may need more resources.

"Simple to set up and use, ITIL compliant thanks to Asset Management add-ons"
What do you like best about Jira Service Management?

Both setting up, using and modifying a lot of the major Service Desk solutions out there tends to be complex, time consuming and expensive. This is not at all the case with JIRA Service Desk. It comes with easy to manage and powerful SLA setup options out of the box, workflows that enable setting up ITIL compliant processes in less than a day in a production environment and allows linking to JIRA Software, where related development teams can seamlessly integrate and take care of problem management. The ease of use for both IT team and customers is outstanding. And by integrating with an Asset Management add-on like Insight, it is a complete solution. Combined with Confluence, the tool also supports a great knowledge base solution.

What do you dislike about Jira Service Management?

JIRA Service Desk is still a young product, launched earlier on as an add-on to JIRA. Certain functions that one would expect to be part of the solution must still be realized with 3rd party add-ons. However, this is rapidly changing and apart from translations, the main gaps are more or less closed as we speak.

Provide simple and customer friendly IT support, but also customer service.

"Is an amazing product to make great support and maintain order in your company. "
What do you like best about Jira Service Management?

You can create portals that will be use by your customers, is easy to configure and it will automatic create a webpage where your customers can create tickets to handle problems or suggestion they may have. Our customers are also familiarized with the portal and they can review their issues and suggestions at any time.

What do you dislike about Jira Service Management?

When you want to configure custom fields for your portal, is kind of complicated where to put your field and how to use it, but just the first time.

What problems is Jira Service Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Many of our customers where having issues in the product and they were sending to mush emails, whit this tool, all the issues are being created in the portal and the tracking is easier. Also, they can log in in your system with an user and password and review their tickets, status, development, solutions etc.

"Easily Track and Resolve Issues with JIRA"
What do you like best about Jira Service Management?

I love the customizable dashboards, which can be layered for maximum efficiency. I can track tickets entered by my team, those I oversee, or simply review the open issues that I'm working on at any given time.

What do you dislike about Jira Service Management?

This is nitpicky, but I wish I could stylize my dashboard more. While the dashboards are straightforward, I would like to make them more visually appealing. The search feature can also be a little too specific; I'd like to be able to type in the ticket number without the type abbreviation (ie 1840 instead of IMP-1840) and still get matching results.

What problems is Jira Service Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Most of my tickets are so that our developers can investigate a clients' integration between our system and their partnered ATS.
