Jira Service Management vs. SupportBee

Great to manage your issues in a clear and centralised way. If your development teams work with Jira, it will all naturally come together. Great way to manage the issues from end to end. - Very flexible if you have people who understands the set up and is able to configure it for your needs - Maybe not the best if you want something with very easy set up

SupportBee is particularly well suited as a support ticket system if you use the systems supported by its 3rd party integrations. If you are looking for a lightweight, easy-to-use, support ticket system without a lot of extras, then SupportBee is the right choice.

• Manageable workflow to ensure all users follow the same process.
• Can ban boards for easy visual of ticket status.
• Very flexible tool that can adapt to lots of different uses outside of the traditional service desk model.
• Added communication tools help you get out of e-mail jail.

• Shared inbox system
• The knowledge base resource
• Customer portal software

• Ability to control the number of email notifications received (Note: this is a new feature in the Latest release but I personally haven not extensively looked at it and how well it solves the existing problem).
• No way to reply to multiple tickets at once, say you got 4 tickets in for the same issue, there is no way you can reply to them in one stroke. Other Ticketing systems do have this ability.
• Using a large number of add-ons to customize and add additional features adds up quickly and can become rather expensive.
• Request forms are very basic and there is no native dynamic field ability available.

Incentivized

• UX isn't the cleanest.
• Finding where to actually start typing responses can be confusing for new users.

I gave JIRA a score of 9 since I am happy with the service it offers. I can easily see the SLA since it gives me visibility. I can pull up the reports I need. I can reach out to our clients using the PR ticket so it is hassle-free for me.

I have not used the technical support from Atlassian. In terms of online help and resources, they are a bit limited thus making it more of a challenge to troubleshoot issues and learn more functionality. There aren't a lot of resources available on the Atlassian site besides developer documents. It would be nice to have a blog or forum where users can get the help they need.

I haven't had to deal with support issues much, other than someone within our own company helping.

When I evaluated Spiceworks, it was not going to be replacing any ticketing systems. However, I did evaluate it and was not extremely impressed by the short demo I did. JIRA was selected because a branch of our company was already using it, so it made sense to consolidate into one service desk solution, and JIRA was the better option since it was less expensive and geared towards being a ticketing system.

SupportBee is the "maximal point" of the combination of feature set, price point, ease of use, third party integrations, and client-facing functionality. Every other system we've tried is too expensive, impossible to use, too many features, too high a learning curve for our employees, or too difficult for our clients to interact with.

• JIRA has been incredibly useful. Our work is more organized and easier to view by the team members as well as upper-level people.
• Our work is correctly assigned and when there are issues, they can be immediately addressed within the tool.
• Users can attach screenshots or files of issues that help clarify the ticket. Developers can attach relevant data as well.

• Features are best and justified with the pricing
• Needs improvement in social integration or channels
