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's the best application to document all types of information."
"The solution helped us to see where we were going wrong and where we were doing good, and that helped us to make proper decisions"
"Confluence is scalable. Our company has 1,000 employees, and we're growing."
"It is easy to use, easy for newcomers to start using, has the “what you see is what you get” functionality of MS Word, and has good integration with JIRA so you can really do great things with the two products."
"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."
"Confluence has helped us through its ease of use and access to relevant information in a targeted way."
"Users can create tables and directly pull all Jira tickets into a Tableau format."
"The most valuable features of Atlassian Confluence are version management and search and linkage to the JIRA tickets. They are integrated very well together. You can have links from many places and can easily jump from one to the other. If you want to find all the information about a topic, you only need to click and you receive the information."
"Provides service level optimization."
"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."
"The most valuable feature was how the solution helped us to prioritize tasks."
"My experience with LiveAgent so far has been a seamless one."
 

Cons

"You can experience slow response times, images not updated properly, sometimes unavailability messages."
"Maybe we're only using 10% of it, but we have to pay for everything."
"Athlassian Confluence certainly does not save me money with the license fee involved."
"It would be interesting if they had graphical templates that allowed typical agile ceremonies to be documented better."
"There needs to be a flexible pricing model, where we can pick and choose services and customize our pricing model."
"In the next release, I would like to have the ability to import pictures."
"The ability to delegate administrative roles, very difficult to give someone delegated administrative ability – almost all or nothing."
"The product is considered expensive."
"I'd like to see an improved API to the system, rather than other softwares having to trigger everything."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a site license for Atlassian Confluence and there are some limitations on external users."
"There are some cases where you can go on Confluence as a public site without a license, but you will not have all of the features. You can also have a Confluence site that does not require a license just to read the articles. When you have Jira Service Management attached to Confluence, then you can go through the portal of Jira Service Management and read the Confluence articles without the license. This is good because when you are in an ITSM environment, you have many customers, and you do not want them to have to pay just to read articles. Regarding the use of the full features of Confluence, there is a license cost, and it depends on how many users you want."
"Licenses are quite expensive"
"We pay $350 a month to use the solution."
"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."
"Pricing wise, it ends up being an expensive solution. In the beginning it's cheap, but by the time you have all the functions you need, it turns out to be expensive."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"The price of the on-premises data center version is too expensive."
