Jira Service Management review

Jira Service Management ranks ninth for engineering-led incident response, though it is a strong fit for IT teams already on Jira. The free plan covers up to 3 agents and includes alerts, on-call schedules and an incident template with routing rules and escalation policies. Standard costs $21.50 per agent a month and adds Rovo agents, search and chat. The deeper incident features sit on Premium at $55.28 per agent: AIOps alert grouping and incident creation, generated post-incident reviews, heartbeat monitoring, advanced incident and problem management, a 99.9% uptime SLA and 24/7 Premium Support. Customers who raise requests are not charged, which helps when the same tool serves internal or external support. For on-call engineers who mainly want fast paging and chat coordination, the service desk model adds configuration work, and the most useful features cost more than incident.io or Rootly seats. A 14-day trial is available and can be extended to 30 days.
