Overall Satisfaction with JIRA Service Desk
My department uses JIRA to manage website issues and web development projects. The entire organization can submit requests to my department via JIRA.
- Allows users to fill out a form regarding their support request/issue that provides all the details a web developer needs to troubleshoot and resolve the request/issue.
- Reporting is very good. JIRA provides standard canned reports and also provides the ability to customize reports. The most useful report for me summarizes all the projects and requests by developer where I can see all the details, especially resource load.
- Provides project management functionality to prioritize and track deadlines easily.
- I have not found a good way to track task dependencies.
- Pricing is somewhat expensive.
- I would like JIRA to tie in more easily with popular project management software.
- Positive impact - organizes support tickets
- Positive impact - Great automated dashboards that measure KPIs
- Negative impact - does not do project management well.
JIRA is far more advanced than some of its competitors with its advanced agile functionality and customizable workflows.
