Overall Satisfaction with Jira Service Desk
We currently use Jira to help keep track of projects and their progress up until completion/rollout to production. Jira Service Desk is currently used by a couple of our departments mainly Applications Admins (my team) and Project Management and App Dev teams. This tool helps increase visibility into the tasks involved in completing a project so that all teams can see where we are in terms of progress.
- Big Gantt chart on the dashboard lets you see a project's status, tasks, and progress easily. Dashboards are easily customizable with lots of options.
- Very easy to create service request templates and modify existing built-in templates to fit your needs.
- Not a lot of online help available to get going
- Needs Confluence (additional cost) to be able to add a knowledge base
- Jira has increased productivity and reduced the number of status meetings needed to track a project.
- Time-tracking has become much easier.
- BMC Helix ITSM (Remedy)
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.
