Reporting staff are somewhat indifferent. It¡¯s a bit of a hassle and the
native interface makes no sense for help desk ticketing (it¡¯s very clear
that it¡¯s for development). Staff that respond to issues are trained on it
and it works for them, but it¡¯s still not ideal.
I would not recommend JIRA as a help desk solution. There are
better/cheaper options out there. As a bugtracking/development system?
Maybe. And for the love of all that is holy, if you go with JIRA for any
reason, do not run it locally.
