Head-to-Head Comparison: ServiceNow vs Jira Service Management and Other Basic ITSM Tools

ITSM tools such as Jira Service Management, ManageEngine, and EasyVista can help with basic IT helpdesk functions, but as your organization grows and demands from the business require scale, intelligent automation, and more advanced workflows, these solutions can struggle to keep up with your needs.

This is how ServiceNow stands out from the crowd.

  • Purpose-built ITSM from the start, not refactored bug tracking or case management tools.

  • Designed for the enterprise, unlike other tools which focus on small teams that can create silos in IT. Customers can quickly outgrow the capabilities of these tools.

  • A complete ITSM solution that doesn’t come with hidden costs. Other tools like Jira Service Management require purchasing additional products to unlock key features and rely on 3rd party apps to provide capabilities that come standard with ServiceNow ITSM.

  • A single cloud platform, single code base that easily extends purpose-built service management use cases and workflows beyond ITSM, including Security, HR, Customer Service, Procurement, Legal, and more.

  • Extend IT innovation beyond the helpdesk by empowering IT to drive innovation for the business and expand workflows and use cases where IT Ops, IT Asset Management, Security, Risk & Governance, and Service Management work together – a single platform for action.

Five Reasons to Choose ServiceNow

1. You won’t outgrow ServiceNow: We have the proven experience to handle demands from the largest organizations in the world. With 11 global datacenter pairs, we are built for scale and performance 

2. Extend and innovate across the organization: It’s easy to maximize your investment while improving how work flows across multiple lines of business 

3. Dedicated cloud: With ServiceNow, customers have a dedicated instance in our private cloud. No need to rely on public cloud to host previously on-premises software 

4. Single codebase: Our solutions share the same codebase which means that they work seamlessly across a true platform 

5. The gold standard in ITSM and more
