Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

We decided on Jira Service desk because we were already using Jira and Confluence - we didn't want to buy a separate product when we were already using the suite. It was more of a business and financial decision than one based on capabilities. I would imagine that other companies who specialize in service desk might be more "user-friendly" out of the box.

Jira is easier to use and holds service agents more accountable due to reporting and tracking tools that are available. It connects better with other products that other departments are using to track programming changes, etc., giving management a single pane of glass to see how things are progressing.

Jira is the only ticketing system we have used at my company, and it is absolutely superb. What usually was a process in the past, with lots of time to spare in between, is now updated to modern-day and makes the entire experience fluid and efficient. I know our IT department appreciates the statistics and reports generated to improve their response time.

Jira has every feature, which is more powerful than any other like tracking your task and helping teams to plan tasks. You can create user stories for tasks and also can create documentation for tasks. It can easily integrate with APIs and other service platforms. You can easily assign work to anyone who is on your team. Basically, it is a full-service package of making your organization agile and centralizes your process and work.

In Jira, you can browse your own knowledge base. You can also create new widgets and filters the way you wanted it customized. I prefer JIRA over any other ticketing tool since JIRA is easy to navigate. You can create your own Dashboard. You easily can pull up the reports needed.

Jira is easier to set up and gets going faster. It is easier to customize to fit your needs and the Dashboard feature and added widgets really help you get the views you want to see. Other products are harder to set up, don't get going as quickly, and lack the dashboard feature as a one-stop spot to view the infomation most important to you. Jira's dashboard is clean and easy to view. In terms of service requests, Jira has built-in templates to get service requests created fairly easily, and they can be modified with little effort.

We selected Jira Service Desk because we were already Jira users, and the price point was easy to absorb. Our experience as Jira administrators made it easy to customize Jira Service Desk to our needs.

Being a past user of JIRA has helped a lot in making a decision. When I first used it, I could learn to navigate in a day's time. I knew my way through most of the functionalities. The dashboard creation was also a piece of cake. The CRM software that we used in the team was Salesforce, being the maintenance and enhancements team for it, there was a strong inclination to use Salesforce Essentials, but we figured out that JIRA would make things easy for business owners.

We use Trello along the Jira Service Desk. Jira Service Desk is universal and is better for IT and specific requests (bugs), while Trello is work better for the tasks dividing on the team level. Jira Service Desk is on a higher price range than other tools, but it worth it, and once you master it, you gain a good understanding of how similar software works.

Compared to other products I have used, like, Fresh Desk Service or Manage Engine it has more features included per user and technician (others may require a license for each type). Portal setup can be integrated to the Confluence Portal for easy access to Jira for service calls and help-desk features at the same company portal location.

I think JIRA Service Desk is very similar to many products out there, but for users who currently use JIRA for their projects, it makes the transition much easier and users will be able to see the progress of their ticket throughout. The price is higher than many of the other competitors.

Jira Service Desk has similar or equivalent features to heavyweight competitors as HP Service Manager, for a better price. The highlight of Jira Service Desk, in my opinion, is that you can customize a series of visual boards that are tremendously useful for an agile and transparent IT management. In addition, Jira Service Desk integrates simply with other Atlassian and third-party products. The power of the Jira API, which allows complex automations, is remarkable.

Unlike the 2 other alternatives, Jira is more complete. It is a bit harder to use, but because it has more customized and better functionalities. While other software can be used for almost everything, Jira works best for tech companies that need to work on agile methodologies and need a robust system that is flexible yet complete.

Jira SD is between Tivoli and Service Now. In this particular case, we are using JIRA SD as the customer asked us to integrate some things with products he already had, such as Confluence, where he kept all the information we could use.

There are other systems that perform well, but we always came back to JIRA. One of the reasons is that it has companion systems like Confluence that can integrate and be used with it. Another reason is JIRA can be molded to be many things, not just project management. For us, we use it for firewall requests, change management approval, and automated tasks for employee management. While many can do a few things well, we have found JIRA to do many more things well and at the end of the day.

ServiceNow has many of the same features of JIRA. Teams within the organization use both ServiceNow and JIRA, but we primarily use JIRA. We chose JIRA because it seemed easier to set up the linking of related tasks and projects together, but other teams have said the same thing about ServiceNow. I believe that with most ticketing systems, the way the administrator sets up the processes is the biggest factor in being successful in using the product.

Jira adds a lot more flexibility and customization than many of its closest competitors. Customization comes in the form of learning how to code in their tool, which can be challenging. However, that level of customization allows you to mold the tool to fit lots of different needs. It also offers a number of integrations with supporting tools allowing for a more comprehensive and integrated work space.
