    I think using a ticketing system is very easy to use and allows multiple teams to create help desks in the same portal. In terms of internal usage, I think this is a great option. However, suppose you're trying to keep internal items and external helpdesks in the same instance. In that case, this is not ideal, as there is no effective way to separate the two instances to protect internal data better.

    If you need a good way for players to send in support tickets that propagates in real-time, Helpshift would be a service I'd recommend.

    Pros
    Atlassian
    • Integration with many of the most common tools companies are using (Slack, MS Teams, Salesforce, ... etc)
    • Natural workflow with Jira (as product development / project management tool) which makes the full fix and follow up of the tickets / issues very easy to follow
    • Allow multiple different entry points and work flows for as many different needs your teams / company have

    Cons
    Atlassian
    • Navigating through issues outside of a kan ban board can be confusing and task heavy.
    • It's easy to clutter up the tool. It could use some easy clean up capabilities.
    • User interface is decent, but could use work to make it more intuitive.

    • While I am not an engineer; it is known that Helpshift can be a bit of a pain to get it implemented into our applications.
    • There are some issues with the badge when it comes to the notifications of messages that let the user know they have a reply from customer service.
    • The website dashboard that is used to respond to customers has trouble sometimes and is very slow.

    Usability
    Atlassian
    If you're used to other tools in the Atlassian ecosystem, you'll feel right at home with JSM. It's also a platform that technical folk can easily pick up. However, I wouldn't recommend using JSM as a company's first jumping off point into Atlassian. There are a lot of other 'newer' tools that provide sleeker ITSM systems at a similar cost.

    Helpshift is really easy to use and set up. We enjoy the automation to automatically route certain issues to different smart folders. There's just a lot of flexibility in the functionality to make things work for our team in the best way. I didn't give it a 10/10 just because we need SMS/Apple Business Chat and Helpshift doesn't yet offer that. They also don't currently support social media channels but they are working on releasing that soon.

    I gave JIRA a 9 rating since for me JIRA works according to its purpose. Since there is a customer portal, our clients can leave a comment or communicate with us using the PR ticket that way it is easier for us to also request any additional information we need for our investigation.

    Online Training was good and informative for new users adopting Jira Service Management. The Training helped to understand the product features, customization capabilities, and integration options with various tools in an enterprise organization, so the overall productivity and efficiency are improved at Blue Yonder. It also helps to timely address the incident tickets, user stories, and track and close them in a timely manner.

    Zendesk is a similar ticketing system that our organization used before JIRA Service Desk. The main drawback of Zendesk was that it can only be used as a cloud service. This means that our company data would be living on the internet at the hands of their security team. Another drawback of this is the price is significantly more expensive rather than hosting it yourself. Zendesk does have some additional features such as commenting on multiple tickets at once that JSD does lack. However, switching to JSD was significantly more cost effective because we have the ability and the infrastructure to host our own ticketing system, something that Zendesk could not provide. Ultimatley switching to JSD saved us money and allows the ability for integration with all of the other Atlassian Suite products that we use on a day to day basis.

    Zendesk is used for customer communication via email and Helpshift is used for chat, they are for the same purpose but with different response times.

    Return on Investment
    Atlassian
    • It is definitely cheaper than Salesforce
    • It allows the IT service desk to be more organized and respond more quickly to tickets, which can save time for both agent and requester.
    • Some things are "not quite there" developmentally, so this means that internal IT will need to spend more time developing and testing the product.

    • The ability to properly organize and delegate work to customer service representatives has been a very positive ROI after using Helpshift.
    • The customer service reps are much happier with this system over the previous system of a general company email address and other CS software tools.
