    I think using a ticketing system is very easy to use and allows multiple teams to create help desks in the same portal. In terms of internal usage, I think this is a great option. However, suppose you're trying to keep internal items and external helpdesks in the same instance. In that case, this is not ideal, as there is no effective way to separate the two instances to protect internal data better.

    The system is really good at helping manage first-line requests and incidents. There are workflows that can be set up on templates to give direction to the team and help ensure that all the correct procedures are followed. There are some limitations with the system when it comes to Problem and Change management, as it is very ingrained with the normal ticket system. This can lead to a "clunky" change management process.

    Pros
    Atlassian
    • Integration with many of the most common tools companies are using (Slack, MS Teams, Salesforce, ... etc)
    • Natural workflow with Jira (as product development / project management tool) which makes the full fix and follow up of the tickets / issues very easy to follow
    • Allow multiple different entry points and work flows for as many different needs your teams / company have

    • Help Desk Ticketing works well and integrates easily with e-mail. IT staff is immediately notified when a new ticket is created.
    • Device management and inventory is easily tracked within SysAid. A full report is easily generated for a device detailing hardware and software specifics.
    • SysAid Copilot AI is phenomenal. It has been designed with the end user in mind. The user can speak to the prompt in natural language and expect a custom response according to their incident or service needs.

    Cons
    Atlassian
    • Navigating through issues outside of a kan ban board can be confusing and task heavy.
    • It's easy to clutter up the tool. It could use some easy clean up capabilities.
    • User interface is decent, but could use work to make it more intuitive.

    • The Help tool could use some refining. Particularly indicating the order in which steps must be done. A clear example is the creation of customized fields or lists.
    • Formatting of the ticket. There is no possibility to create dynamic tables, use more than one column. I would want to have more flexibility without having to pay for Professional Services

    Here’s your text in natural, professional English:Currently, we are continuously improving our internal AI chatbot within SysAid by feeding our datapool on a daily basis. This is making a real impact on our IT team, as the knowledge base keeps growing and allows us to resolve common incidents and service requests much faster.In addition to that, SysAid helps us manage software licenses and gives us clear visibility of our actual annual costs, which is very useful for tracking upcoming renewals.On the other hand, we would like to see improvements in the reporting area. The interface there feels more basic compared to the rest of the platform and doesn’t offer the same level of depth as other sections.That said, we are really looking forward to seeing how the new Connect module evolves.

    If you're used to other tools in the Atlassian ecosystem, you'll feel right at home with JSM. It's also a platform that technical folk can easily pick up. However, I wouldn't recommend using JSM as a company's first jumping off point into Atlassian. There are a lot of other 'newer' tools that provide sleeker ITSM systems at a similar cost.

    Whilst it delivers on most of the features it comes with, I feel Change Management needs a complete re-do as it is really complicated, and think it should be made to be straightforward. For the free services of their Market Place, they should develop a platform where one can just browse for the script (downloaded) and apply the patch, without having to go into various places in code to activate the service. or at least, build the integrations into the system and have [a] section under settings, or even straight from the Market Place, where one can just enable the service, and if required, be prompted to input additional information, including credentials.

    Another of the benefits of sysaid is that it is highly available when working in on-premise environments.The only times the system is down is when a restart of the services is required to add a new feature. Apart from that, we have not had any problems.In the case of the cloud, the only condition I have seen where sysaid is not available is because the internet link is down or damaged.

    In the case of system performance, I have seen that no matter the number of assets and users, Sysaid responds in the same way and at the same speed. The reports that are scheduled do not have any details because they arrive directly to your email. In the same way, when it is integrated with other systems, for example through the API or by email, we have not seen any failure due to the integration. It works very well with or without integrations.

    I gave JIRA a 9 rating since for me JIRA works according to its purpose. Since there is a customer portal, our clients can leave a comment or communicate with us using the PR ticket that way it is easier for us to also request any additional information we need for our investigation.

    SysAid support is fast and effective. They support their own product, so they know it well. I can expect a response to my request in less than 24 hours and often in less than an hour. Their sales, customer support, and technical support staff are experts in the area of the support request ticket, so we seldom are transferred to another support agent. Their system is well designed and one of the best of all the applications we use.

    The training I received was very good, they gave me tasks to carry out and then they checked what I had done.It was gratifying that the instructor noticed that I had made very fast progress because I had done the implementation myself and it was very fast. At least I remember that after 5 days I had already finished almost 90% of all the implementation tasks.

    Zendesk is a similar ticketing system that our organization used before JIRA Service Desk. The main drawback of Zendesk was that it can only be used as a cloud service. This means that our company data would be living on the internet at the hands of their security team. Another drawback of this is the price is significantly more expensive rather than hosting it yourself. Zendesk does have some additional features such as commenting on multiple tickets at once that JSD does lack. However, switching to JSD was significantly more cost effective because we have the ability and the infrastructure to host our own ticketing system, something that Zendesk could not provide. Ultimatley switching to JSD saved us money and allows the ability for integration with all of the other Atlassian Suite products that we use on a day to day basis.

    Return on Investment
    Atlassian
    • It is definitely cheaper than Salesforce
    • It allows the IT service desk to be more organized and respond more quickly to tickets, which can save time for both agent and requester.
    • Some things are "not quite there" developmentally, so this means that internal IT will need to spend more time developing and testing the product.
