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

"What I really like about this solution, is how it manages the queues, the tickets and the routing."
"Confluence is a great tool for documentation and tracking."
"Its integration is most valuable. It is pretty open for integration."
"JSM's best feature is the integration with other Jira products."
"Using JIRA simplifies tracking issues and updates."
"The solution offers lots of information on the website to assist with technical queries. There are also many community sites to help you troubleshoot any problems."
"In Jira Service Management, the most beneficial features are process improvement, workflows, and escalations."
"One of the best things about JIRA is that it searches for answers while questions are being typed so some tickets do not need to be submitted."
"Provides service level optimization."
"The most valuable feature was how the solution helped us to prioritize tasks."
 

Cons

"The documentation needs improving, it's difficult to find specific procedures."
"​SaaS version for large organizations (more than 2000 users) is not available."
"Include a split configuration in a layer part to allow cloud services to have almost full admin rights in SaaS."
"It is difficult to navigate if you don't have any prior knowledge."
"Jira Service Management should be more user-friendly."
"JIRA Service Management could improve the forms. When you complete the form for the ticket, for example, to have more information given to the team. If they needed this information, you can give it to them. They need to add additional information for a better understanding of the whole picture of the issue or problem."
"The interface could always be updated and improved."
"What needs to be added in Jira Service Management is the user screen. You'll find it very weird if this is your first time using the solution. The user-friendliness of its interface needs improvement."
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
"There are other products that are more popular."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"This is pricey solution. Should we move to using all cloud solutions in our business, we may move to different tools that have multiple functionality versus having a solution for each area. This would be too pricey and we would need to replace Jira with a different solution that also offers other features."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"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 have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"It is one of the premium products on the market, but it is very costly, especially in the Indian market."
"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."
"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."
