Overall Satisfaction with JIRA Service Desk
Jira is being used by multiple departments across my organization (Client Service, Financial Service, Tech Engineering, etc). Previously, my company was using a tool (designed in-house) to intake, prioritize, and track tickets submitted for development (maintenance, bugs, enhancements). The downside of this legacy technology was mainly reporting capabilities. We were unable to do a proper post-mortem in order to determine what areas of the overall process could be improved (if deadlines were not met).
- allows multiple users to collaborate on the same project with ease.
- offers multiple reporting options to track tickets.
- automated emails relating to updates - users are always notified when they need to take action on a particular task.
- Jira does not seem to like IE. It is much quicker on Chrome.
- Can be overwhelming for a new user. Training resources are somewhat limited.
- I wish there was a way to set rules behind automated emails. Example: only send emails when status or assignee has changed.
- Visibility into all tickets/projects is excellent.
- Reporting allows upper management a "snapshot" of all projects and their current status.
- Time tracking capabilities allow management to pinpoint bottlenecks and areas for improvement.
