Atomicwork vs. Jira Service Management

JSM is great but not purpose-built for modern IT teams

Jira Service Management may be suitable for IT teams that can spend time and effort setting up, customizing, and integrating it with their existing tech stack. But, not all high-velocity teams that deal with a huge volume of IT requests, have the resources to waste months on navigating these complexities.

That's exactly why we built Atomicwork. Unlike legacy software that are catching up with latest AI advancements, Atomicwork is designed with generative AI from the ground up—removing unwanted complexities and simplifying the overall tech experience for agents and end users.

Outdated self-service options

Your modern workforce spends the vast majority of their time on collaboration tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams. Despite this significant shift in employee behavior, Jira Service Management does not provide easy access to enterprise knowledge or request logging for employees.

Clunky user interface

The UI of Jira can prove quite challenging for IT teams who are new to Jira’s functionalities. IT agents and admins require a steeper learning curve to customize settings, implement workflows, and navigate the tool.

Cumbersome integrations

While Jira integrates with many tools in the Atlassian ecosystem, setting up and maintaining integrations with non-Atlassian products or custom internal tools can be quite complex and time-consuming.

And we are not the only ones who think so

Jira is not a service desk, but a system built for software development.

They're shoehorning other use cases into the system, but it is obviously not designed as a service desk.

Despite its many advantages, JIRA Service Management can be complex and difficult for new users to learn.

Initial setup and customization takes time and effort.

It is virtually all build it yourself. Add to that that there are significant limits to the development capabilities and it really makes it a niche product for those already using Atlassian products and minimal ITSM needs.

Alright, but does Atomicwork…
