Manage projects effectively with seamless task tracking and integration, but deployment requires familiarity
We are conducting all our project management using Atlassian tools. We use Atlassian Confluence for task management, reporting, visualization of tasks, and reviewing the progress of tickets and work I use Atlassian Confluence for task management and other project management tasks, such as…

Prioritizes tasks and easily organizes messages and responses
I've not really noticed anything that needs to be improved with the solution. Generally, I enjoyed everything. Every feature LiveAgent has was a seamless journey for me. Maybe there are others who might notice one or two flaws on LiveAgent. I use LiveAgent, but based on my position in the company as a live chat professional, there is a level that I am restricted to. There are other products that are more popular and effective than LiveAgent, like Zendesk and HubSpot. They are among the most popular live chat products, and they have more users. I will advise that LiveAgent should look at what these other people are doing and use it to improve themselves. LiveAgent should add more functionalities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is just the fact that it is a one-stop shop for all project documentation. It is compared to storing things in files and directories and stuff like that. It provides the overall usability and accessibility of many projects and documents in one area."
"Provides wiki features such as file collaboration."
"Confluence has saved time in finding information, reduced the on-boarding time, improved provisioning of repeatable scripted operational process, provided a central point for knowledge sharing and supplied better retention of Intellectual Property."
"Wiki is a good solution for non-tech writers."
"The integration's very good. You still have integration with lots of third party products, and it's very good."
"It's extremely intuitive."
"It has a very intuitive user interface, which every user able to manage the basic functionality of a PC will be able to work with and produce quite satisfactory results."
"The most valuable features of Atlassian Confluence are its overall document editing and ease of use."
"I like that this solution provides the history and control over every process connected to a building so we can see everything that's happened since we started using this solution."
"My experience with LiveAgent so far has been a seamless one."
"Provides service level optimization."
"The most valuable feature was how the solution helped us to prioritize tasks."
 

Cons

"The flexibility and simplicity of this solution could be improved."
"Athlassian Confluence certainly does not save me money with the license fee involved."
"The logic for searching for pages is a bit off. It turns out that the searching algorithms are very basic."
"Being robust when dealing with complex pages, eating too much CPU, badly designed plugins."
"The add-on feature is not readily available or well-documented."
"The Atlassian cloud pricing model is pretty steep. Confluence should be accessible by a relatively large audience, but the pricing model prohibits this."
"The one way in which this solution could be improved is by offering better design and UI."
"Space maintenance could be made a little more user-friendly."
"There are other products that are more popular and effective than LiveAgent, like Zendesk and HubSpot."
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
"There are other products that are more popular."
"I'd like to see an improved API to the system, rather than other softwares having to trigger everything."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Maybe we're only using 10% of it, but we have to pay for everything."
"We have to pay licensing fees."
"The price of the on-premises data center version is too expensive."
"The Confluence pricing is good. The only challenge we have experienced is with Jira and the add ons we use that need to be paid for separately."
"There is a license needed to use Atlassian Confluence."
"We have a site license for Atlassian Confluence and there are some limitations on external users."
"Making integration with other tools easier would be beneficial."
"The issues I have with the pricing are in respect to the add-ons."
