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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can track, monitor, and get all the details we need from the end-user's point of view for any service request."
"One of the best features is that I can share tickets with team members, at which point any team member is able to pick one up and work on it."
"Apart from ticket management and workflow, the Kanban board is one of the helpful tools in Jira."
"This is a flexible tool for logging and tracking issues efficiently."
"It helps with time management and team management of the new tasks."
"The visibility features are great."
"JSM's best feature is the integration with other Jira products."
"We use JIRA Service Management for tracking purposes, planning, and execution."
"Provides service level optimization."
"The most valuable feature was how the solution helped us to prioritize tasks."
 

Cons

"They need to work on the speed of Jira."
"If we can have an easier way to deploy this solution without the help of a consultant and a more reliable way of deploying procedures, it would be quite helpful."
"The platform should be more user-friendly. JIRA's user interface needs training to understand and utilize."
"As a consultant, I have used the support. Some of the support I have received has been good and other times it could improve."
"The support we received was not fully provided at that time."
"Lacks an interface where the customer can report issues."
"The solution should be more formalized. It could be more user-friendly."
"It is difficult to navigate if you don't have any prior knowledge."
"There are other products that are more popular."
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I rate Service Management four out of 10 for affordability. The price could be better, especially for companies using more than one Atlassian product. It's suitable for SMBs that can afford it. I don't think there's another tool that's both better and cheaper. All help desk tools are relatively expensive."
"Buying a software solution is only a half part of the solution (or even less). You need to optimize usage of the software by hiring professionals who will help you to make the most of the software, especially in the beginning."
"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."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"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."
"I am using the free version, but my clients are paying for it. When they start, they evaluate it for 30 days, and after seeing the value, they move to its paid version."
