AI-native incident resolution alongside Atlassian's ITSM. JSM handles request tickets, change approvals, and Confluence runbooks. Nova's 100 agents resolve incidents before they need a ticket opened.
Jira Service Management is Atlassian's developer-friendly ITSM, Jira tickets for requests and incidents, Opsgenie for on-call alerts, Atlassian Statuspage for customer communication, and Confluence for runbooks. JSM is excellent at routing work to humans through ITIL-aligned queues. Nova AI Ops layers autonomous resolution on top, so most incidents never need a Jira ticket opened in the first place. The two are complementary, not mutually exclusive.

JSM is priced per agent, with the Premium tier needed for advanced incident management, asset management, and HA. Statuspage is sold separately. Nova provides observability, agents, and autonomous remediation in one predictable per-user line, and runs alongside JSM, so you keep the ticketing your business processes already depend on.
Full platform: monitoring, incidents, AI agents, runbooks, on-call, logs, tracing, auto-remediation. Basic tier available. Setup in under 3 minutes.
Standard $19.04, Premium $47.82, Enterprise quote-only. Atlassian Statuspage starts at $29/mo and stacks on top. Powerful automation rules and ITIL workflows, but no infrastructure monitoring or autonomous remediation included.
Jira Service Management™ Premium covers tickets and on-call alerts, but you still need monitoring, logs, and tracing somewhere else. Nova consolidates the resolution layer.
Scenario assumes 20 engineers, 50 hosts, JSM Premium plus the typical observability stack engineering teams already run beside it.

JSM is the developer-friendly ITSM workhorse for organizations already standardized on the Atlassian stack. Here is where it genuinely shines:
Nova doesn't replace JSM, it removes the need for most incident tickets to be opened in the first place. Nova handles the autonomous resolution layer; JSM keeps handling change management, request types, and the audit trail your business processes already rely on:
Keep your Jira automation rules, Confluence runbooks, and Atlassian Statuspage. Add an autonomous resolution layer on top in under 3 minutes. Basic tier, no Atlassian migration required.
