I would suggest that in this product class, you get what you pay for. Although it is was sold as SAAS with a nearly 'plug and play' implementation, at least one full time highly trained admin is needed for ongoing support. I would advise a team implementation strategy.

You can build every business process with helpLine. The Code is completely free (C#). The only limitations you have are in the GUI, there you probably will miss something. But the Servicemask can be designed free.

At this point, we are stuck with it. We can't afford a change at this point.

In case of bugs or coding problems you have to be more specific. Otherwise, they are not forwarded to the development team or it is quickly said that a consultant has to look at this for a fee.

Axios assyst outperforms JIRA in every aspect, JIRA is a good job system but when it comes to complex processes and configuration management then JIRA is simply not the right system.
