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.

SymphonyAI IT Service Management
It is best for handling daily incidents and change records in the organization. And also provide features like which incident will have higher priority, and which have less and on the basis of that developer do their daily activities to resolve them. It also helps in managing our compliance change logs, which help the compliance team.

The overall satisfaction is great and it offers great features. By expanding to using AI feature of Symphony Summit, we look forward to automate even ticket tracking and ticket resolution. The support provided by the symphony SummitAI team is also robust compared to industry standards and the team also conducts regular reviews to find out any dissatisfaction from the clients.

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.

The main reason for choosing Symphony Summit is the customization. We wanted to have a separate tool for our business unit. Compared to ServiceNow, which requires a license to approve a request, Symphony does not require a license. In addition, it is much easier to customize and scale.
