Efficiently track and document projects with seamless tool integration
We are a management warehouse that provides services to different customers in different sectors. Primarily, we serve the banking sector and the military sector. We manage all the software delivery projects through tools such as JIRA Service Management or TFS Confluence is a great tool for…
OO
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.

"The most valuable feature was how the solution helped us to prioritize tasks."
"Provides service level optimization."
 

Cons

"The reporting function of this solution, particularly the filters in the portal, could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface and the queues."
"JIRA Service Management could include more AI features."
"We faced challenges with integration for different frameworks like TestComplete."
"The product does not allow customization of reports."
"Usability needs improvement. To configure it, you need to be well versed in Jira administration. It's not very intuitive."
"We have a lot of add-ons, however, instead of the add-ons, for example, cloning could be better."
"Jira Service Management is expensive and not worth the money compared to monday.com."
"There are other products that are more popular."
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
"For the people like us, the lower the price, the better. But when compared to other competitors, I think it's Jira's price is okay."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"The cost has recently increased. It might be around $20 to $25 per user license."
"Do not forget to calculate add-on costs. These cost a percentage of the JIRA purchasing costs and are based on the number of JIRA users."
"On a scale of one to five, where five is a good price and one is high, I would rate this solution as a three. It isn't cheap but it's not ridiculous."
"The price for JIRA Service Management is reasonable and cheaper than other ITSM solutions, but the licensing model is different, so you cannot compare it with other solutions. Overall, the pricing for the solution is acceptable."
"We may upgrade the license that we have. The license that we currently have is good for 500 agents, and it's not full yet."
