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

"Easily integrates with other tools."
"JIRA Service Management is a very user-friendly solution."
"This solution has helped us a great deal in project management tracking and forecasting."
"The most valuable features of JIRA Service Management are the service level agreement or management, and the ticketing system. Additionally, there are frequent updates that provide improvements."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is user-friendly."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"Service Management is great if you're an Atlassian shop already using JIRA for the development team and you want another tool for help desk ticketing. When it's all under the same umbrella, I can easily take a ticket from the help desk and move it to the development team. You can't beat that integration between two products."
"The most valuable feature was how the solution helped us to prioritize tasks."
"Provides service level optimization."
 

Cons

"I would like to see improvement in the ability to filter completed tasks."
"Cost has prohibited us from switching entirely to this solution."
"The solution should be more formalized. It could be more user-friendly."
"The licensing model could be improved. There needs to be a different licensing model for large numbers of employees, as it remains one of the main barriers to using JIRA Service Management across our entire company."
"The price is a point of contention for me. It does overall work out as a significant amount of money that will be spent over a shorter period of time."
"JSM's ability to handle large volumes of emails isn't great."
"I'd like to update the dashboard so that more features are available."
"At times you will need add-ons or additional software, so built-in features would be helpful."
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
"There are other products that are more popular."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
"Licensing can become quite expensive."
"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
"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."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"It's not really expensive, especially when you compare to ServiceNow or other solutions, and it's not expensive to maintain."
"The license we use is on a yearly basis. As a Solution Partner, we were using the free one and were using the free plugins. We were also giving our own plugins to the Atlassian Solution Partners for free. We don't pay anything to Atlassian."
