TOPdesk vs. Jira Service Management

What is TOPdesk?

TOPdesk offers an enterprise service management software that allows team members from different departments of a company to work together on a central platform. Companies can choose between three TOPdesk packages, all of which include incident and asset management as well as the Self Service Portal. Other processes and functions include change and operations management, a knowledge database, a Kanban board, reporting capabilities, contract management and SLM, as well as a web shop. With API interfaces, users can link additional tools to TOPdesk. The ITIL-based processes can be automated, and terminology, categorization and text fields can be customized.

What is Jira Service Management?

According to its own statement, Jira Service Management aims to enable high-speed cooperation between dev, IT ops, and business teams. For this, the system can be individually adapted to the respective requirements. Teams should be able to set up a service desk and continuously adapt it in a scalable manner. In addition, the tool offers a service task management, in which they can also import data from other developer tools. The core benefits named by the Australian developer - Atlassian Pty Ltd - include request management, incident management, change management, asset management, configuration management, knowledge management, and problem management. Jira Service Management can always be used free of charge for up to three agents. For larger teams, there are different pay bundles starting at $20 per month.
