Jira Service Management vs. SymphonyAI Summit

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

We use the IT asset management module to great extent, would like to explore the RFID based tracking of assets integrated with Summit ITAM. Would like service requests workflows to be made flexible enough to support any kind of requests and easily route based on criteria's defined. This help in easy approval and reduce the time take for fulfilling the request and adhere to SLA

• 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.

• Some standard functionalities don't work.
• We struggle to get optimum support from their support team.
• Issues are not resolved within the SLAs.
• Even escalating to higher authorities do not help.

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.

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.

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.

Users can add more fields in the app. you can define your own workflow .find more user-friendly than another app. user to raise SR/INCIDENT
