Pros

“Its workflows are highly configurable, automation is useful for reducing manual ticket handling, and native integration with development teams improves incident, change, and problem-management collaboration.”

Andrew G.

Devops

“Before Jira Service Management, tracking of requests and incident follow-up involved many manual checks, which are now replaced by the queues, SLAs and automated workflows in Jira, allowing me to keep most of the recurring tasks automatically processed and up-to-date.”

Anit S.

Enterprise Architect

“Customer requets sorting and filtering is one of the best feature i have used in helpdesk platforms, before this everything was mixed, now i can prioritize sales requests from our clients.”

Shivam A.

Account relationship manager

Pros

“The platform significantly improved how issues are handled and followed up, making team coordination smoother. Despite a few areas that could be strengthened, it remains a dependable tool that enhances productivity and communication.”

Mouatez C.

Customer Support Specialist

“From my perspective, I consider HelpDesk as a state-of-the-art tool that effectively performs multitasking functions with the objective of resolving and addressing the concerns of patients, agents, and other service providers connected to the system, thereby fulfilling the needs of all stakeholders involved.”

John R.

Service Representative

“The new ticketing system which allowed me to take chats and check my tickets at the same time.”

Jude D.

Customer Success Agent

Cons

“Also, the pricing can get expensive as your team grows, and the mobile app doesn’t always work as smoothly as the desktop version.”

Arti R.

Software engineer

“The UI is slightly outdated and sometimes it’s confusing why some tasks allow internal notes and not comments.”

Sarah P.

Performance Marketing Manager

“Atlassian's product [sensitive content hidden] seem to have little experience in ticketing jobs, and they focus the development roadmap on less impactful developments like "easier Zoom calls" and leaving out basic functions like ticket splitting and merging.”

Jarosław K.

Director of Support Services

Cons

“The ai I implemented to respond first before connecting to live agent seems to get stuck in endless loops of repeating questions and answers”

Jessica B.

Owner

“I dislike the fact that you can't sort through HelpDesk tickets by other identifiers (i.e., Subject (Website Contact Form Submission), Custom Quote Forms, etc.).”

Ron H.

Client Relationship Management

“If tickets are misrouted or the system is too rigid, sometimes errors may occur.”

Ivan V.

Customer Success Representative
