It has JMeter integration which provides visualizations during tests and instrumentation of each agent.
It has a strong reporting and dashboard mechanism. Reporting and metric management are so important in our company that we get value from the reporting functionality of the product. It has Jmeter integration that provides visualization during test and instrumentation of each agent so you do not need to pay extra for a licensed performance test tool.

Has customized workflows to fit internal processes and improved overall team organization
I don't have a particular customization or integration that's been especially valuable for my team, but I experienced integrating Jira and QuickBooks, which was very challenging, but it really impacted the efficiency of the whole company. I have been working with Jira for over 12 years, and I've seen it grow every year. It's a powerful product, but lately, I think Atlassian has been adding too many simplified features that look nice but don't offer the same level of flexibility, and made some fields not available through the API, which is kind of frustrating. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to focus more on improving API integration and automation tools, not just the design.
