Pulseway vs JIRA Service Management: Which is a better fit?

Bryan W.: My name is Bryan. I'm an IT specialist over at Shopper Approved. We've got about just under 50 employees. I give Pulseway an overall rating of five stars. Before Pulseway, I was using Action1. The problems with Action1, it was an early product. It was lacking some features that a more mature product offers. Pulseway gave me those tools, better remote support and better reporting, various other features like that. The biggest reason we went with Pulseway is price. I looked at several other competitors, and Pulseway offered the best price for what we got. And it gave us third-party patching. It gave us a great remote tool that offered remote file transfer. They have a network discovery feature in there, so I can use it to automatically look for new devices, things like that. Yeah, getting started with Pulseway, they gave me a trial, if I remember correctly, and using that trial, I was able to sort of test things out beforehand. And then, once we decided on the product, they were able to take that trial environment and just turn it into the full one, so I didn't have to do any additional setup. But they did give us additional onboarding, so if you didn't do the trial or didn't set up anything, they'll help you and walk you through setting it up. The agent's super easy to install. You can deploy it across the whole fleet if you needed to. It even has Active Directory Discovery, so if it's connected to a domain, it can just install it that way. If you're looking at getting Pulseway, I would just make sure you do look at other competitors. If there's something that you can't afford, there are definitely better products that offer more features or better robust features for a higher price. So, if price isn't an issue, it may not be a bad idea to look elsewhere. But if you are trying to find something on the budget side, Pulseway is a great place to start. They offer lots of add-ons, lots of integrations. Do know that the product is owned by Kaseya. Some people may not care for that. But that's [inaudible 00:02:35].

Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Heena. I work at Bliss. I'm a client services lead for UK International Market. Bliss is a programmatic DSP. I use Jira as a project management platform, and I rate it four stars. Jira is basically used as a project management tool. We consider each and every programmatic booking that we get at less as a project, and at least 32 people contribute into that project. So from the pre-activation stages to activation, and then the execution, and then finally the reporting and the analytics, and we basically carry it all through Jira. And hence, it's a very important tool in our [inaudible 00:00:48]. I think Jira is very easy to use, easy to navigate, easy to train people on. No additional training is required every time someone is onboarded onto Jira. And also it also keeps logs of all the changes that happened during the project completion. And hence, it's easier to trace back the steps and identify if anything went wrong, et cetera. I think the least things are, sometimes it could take a downtime to get loaded, especially if we are working on a complex project or we have had several months of data onto the single project, then it can be a little bit lagged to download all the information.
