    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.

    I think using a ticketing system is very easy to use and allows multiple teams to create help desks in the same portal. In terms of internal usage, I think this is a great option. However, suppose you're trying to keep internal items and external helpdesks in the same instance. In that case, this is not ideal, as there is no effective way to separate the two instances to protect internal data better.

    Pros
    Atlassian
    • Integration with many of the most common tools companies are using (Slack, MS Teams, Salesforce, ... etc)
    • Natural workflow with Jira (as product development / project management tool) which makes the full fix and follow up of the tickets / issues very easy to follow
    • Allow multiple different entry points and work flows for as many different needs your teams / company have

    Cons
    Atlassian
    • Navigating through issues outside of a kan ban board can be confusing and task heavy.
    • It's easy to clutter up the tool. It could use some easy clean up capabilities.
    • User interface is decent, but could use work to make it more intuitive.

    I have given this rating because, in my opinion, I don't see any downsides of Jira until now. We can customise workflows based on the project needs, including task workflows. Jira is very extensible, which is one of its most important features.

    I gave JIRA a 9 rating since for me JIRA works according to its purpose. Since there is a customer portal, our clients can leave a comment or communicate with us using the PR ticket that way it is easier for us to also request any additional information we need for our investigation.

    Alternatives Considered
    Atlassian
    Zendesk is a similar ticketing system that our organization used before JIRA Service Desk. The main drawback of Zendesk was that it can only be used as a cloud service. This means that our company data would be living on the internet at the hands of their security team. Another drawback of this is the price is significantly more expensive rather than hosting it yourself. Zendesk does have some additional features such as commenting on multiple tickets at once that JSD does lack. However, switching to JSD was significantly more cost effective because we have the ability and the infrastructure to host our own ticketing system, something that Zendesk could not provide. Ultimatley switching to JSD saved us money and allows the ability for integration with all of the other Atlassian Suite products that we use on a day to day basis.

    Return on Investment
    Atlassian
    • It is definitely cheaper than Salesforce
    • It allows the IT service desk to be more organized and respond more quickly to tickets, which can save time for both agent and requester.
    • Some things are "not quite there" developmentally, so this means that internal IT will need to spend more time developing and testing the product.
