Jira Service Management vs ServiceNow

About

Jira Service Management (JSM) is a cloud IT service management (ITSM) platform developed by Atlassian Corporation (NASDAQ: TEAM) — parent company reporting $5.46 billion in revenue for the twelve months ending September 2025 (+19.51% year-over-year) with a $71 billion market capitalization, serving 300,000+ customers including 83% of the Fortune 500 — providing IT, service desk, and operations teams with incident management, change management, problem management, service catalog, and asset management capabilities built on Atlassian's Jira platform with 98% customer retention. At Team '24 (2024), Atlassian merged Jira Software and Jira Work Management into a unified "Jira" product, and introduced Rovo — an AI teammate providing intelligent search, chat, and automation across the Atlassian platform. JSM competes in the ITSM market by leveraging Atlassian's developer platform ubiquity: 10+ million developers already using Jira for software projects creates a natural expansion path into ITSM for the same enterprise. Founded 2002 by Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar in Sydney, Australia; NASDAQ IPO 2015.
