Gladly vs. Jira Service Management

Any business that has a customer base could benefit from Gladly. If you call, text, social media message, etc Gladly can do all of these functions and keeps all of these conversations easily located so that you can refer back to previous conversations. The ability to leave notes on the account is very helpful.

Great to manage your issues in a clear and centralised way. If your development teams work with Jira, it will all naturally come together. Great way to manage the issues from end to end. - Very flexible if you have people who understands the set up and is able to configure it for your needs - Maybe not the best if you want something with very easy set up

• Easy to use interface. Supporting customers is as easy as texting a friend.
• True Omnichannel support system where all channels live on the same screen without the need to hop between applications.
• Built-in knowledgebase (Answers) reducing team member ramp time and providing a template for consistent solutions for our customers.

• Gladly has errors where it times out and I lose a call. Which negatively reflects on me.
• If a contact is not currently assigned to me and I don’t know their info I can’t find them easily even if I was associated with the ticket.
• The inbox could notify you better of completed tasks and keep better track of your history in your own account.

Incentivized

• Ability to control the number of email notifications received (Note: this is a new feature in the Latest release but I personally haven not extensively looked at it and how well it solves the existing problem).
• No way to reply to multiple tickets at once, say you got 4 tickets in for the same issue, there is no way you can reply to them in one stroke. Other Ticketing systems do have this ability.
• Using a large number of add-ons to customize and add additional features adds up quickly and can become rather expensive.
• Request forms are very basic and there is no native dynamic field ability available.

Gladly really has all the information needed about a customer that you would need.If gladly does have a specified space for specific information you can add notes in multiple locations to remind you self of special circumstances. Gladly meets all our expectations and continues to provide a see less transaction

I gave JIRA a score of 9 since I am happy with the service it offers. I can easily see the SLA since it gives me visibility. I can pull up the reports I need. I can reach out to our clients using the PR ticket so it is hassle-free for me.

Gladly is always available to support its customers. That being said, we really haven’t needed support. The product is intuitive and stable. The reality is the support we receive is more collaboration on how we can help Gladly continue to revolutionize this space.

I have not used the technical support from Atlassian. In terms of online help and resources, they are a bit limited thus making it more of a challenge to troubleshoot issues and learn more functionality. There aren't a lot of resources available on the Atlassian site besides developer documents. It would be nice to have a blog or forum where users can get the help they need.

When I evaluated Spiceworks, it was not going to be replacing any ticketing systems. However, I did evaluate it and was not extremely impressed by the short demo I did. JIRA was selected because a branch of our company was already using it, so it made sense to consolidate into one service desk solution, and JIRA was the better option since it was less expensive and geared towards being a ticketing system.

• It positively helps us communicate with each other before we communicate with the timer if there are any questions or issues.
• Gladly helps prioritize email vs phone call and chat so that you are focusing on the most important task at hand.
• Gladly allows you to view what other representatives are doing and if they are busy or available for questions.

• JIRA has been incredibly useful. Our work is more organized and easier to view by the team members as well as upper-level people.
• Our work is correctly assigned and when there are issues, they can be immediately addressed within the tool.
• Users can attach screenshots or files of issues that help clarify the ticket. Developers can attach relevant data as well.
