Easy to use, offers good stability and visibility for operational efficiency
The search function could be improved. We have to search a certain way. There is no generic search, it is more object-oriented search. The interface could also be more user-friendly. So, the interface and search could be improved. Additionally, I would like to see more accessibility. It would also be great if there was a Jira mobile app.
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

"Its integration is most valuable. It is pretty open for integration."
"Customizations are most valuable. The customization of workflows is the main power of the Atlassian tools in general."
"The links between the help desk and Jira issues and between Confluence and Jira issues are most valuable. I can write requirements in Confluence and link them to user stories in Jira and test cases. I can see my test coverage and all that kind of stuff. The integration between these three is very useful. It is pretty customizable, and it integrates well. There are a lot of add-ins and a lot of connectors to third-party products. In my last company, we used Test Royal for managing all the tests, and it integrated perfectly with that. For any issue or bug, we could see what tests have been run and the complete history of the tests."
"Jira lets us customize the workflow to meet our requirements. The email and alert features are also handy."
"With Jira Service Desk, the simplicity of setting up a quick form and getting the service desk running quickly is very helpful."
"We have an Agile environment and using Jira makes it easy to adhere to Agile best practices."
"We use JIRA Service Management for tracking purposes, planning, and execution."
"JIRA Service Management is a very user-friendly solution."
"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."
"Currently lacks an asset management module that can affect deployment."
"It is difficult to navigate if you don't have any prior knowledge."
"Integration could be improved."
"The licensing model could be improved."
"The performance in cloud service management could be improved."
"Its UI is a bit overwhelming for new users. That has been the problem with Jira for a long time. If they could put some fields that we could use to simplify the UI, it would be good."
"If I need a new feature, JIRA requires me to pay for all users when only specific people use that add-on. I should not have to pay for everyone, so this is an area for improvement."
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
"There are other products that are more popular."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Costs are about $50 per user per year. JIRA is sold in user tiers of 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 2000, 10,000, and unlimited users. It is bad when you have 51 users then the price is based on that 100 user tier. Users at 100 will be the most cost effective."
"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."
"But about the plugins, I found one plug-in — its name is Actionable Metric I think — and it is $3000. That is very expensive for users in Iran."
"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."
"JIRA Service Desk has different pricing as it is based on agents. On average, the price is about $300 per agent."
"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."
