Overall Satisfaction with Jira Service Desk
We use Jira Service Desk as a corporate service desk. All issues within our company are submitted through the service desk portal and are then triaged to the specific groups that can help with the issue. We have set up multiple service desks for each specific group that are managed by the small teams in our department and that seems to work great.
- Customizability.
- Reporting.
- Easy to use for users.
- It's a little difficult in terms configuration- you should have someone dedicated to administration.
- For as customizable as it is, there are some things you can't change. These small issues that don't really effect an individual ticket too much, but when you are dealing with dozens and dozens of tickets a day, small granular things add up.
- A suggestion for improvement would be to allow a hotkey entry for quickly submitting a comment. You can do that for an internal comment (not seen by the user), but not for a public comment.
- Great reporting.
- Ability to generate immediate feedback after a ticket is closed.
- Great ROI.
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.
