    Helpjuice is an excellent platform when you’re looking to modernize the way you create documentation. Many companies, especially larger corporations, are stuck in the past, utilizing PDFs and share drives to house and access procedures. With Helpjuice, we now have a centralized web-based platform that provides everything from analytic functions to standard templates, user-specific features, and more. My team specifically chose Helpjuice during the pandemic, when all the tech writers from my company (including myself) were moved into a single team. We needed to find a platform that would allow us to align our publishing standards while also moving us forward in the way we publish procedures. That platform was ultimately Helpjuice. Helpjuice certainly offers a variety of features, but one of the few drawbacks is that it does not incorporate or seem to integrate with any specific ticketing tool. While this isn’t an issue for me or my team, as we are required to use a specific tool internally, I can imagine that someone looking for a complete package with multi-step workflows and an intake process would not find Helpjuice adequate.

    If someone is looking for a ticket management system or something to keep track of records in a cloud environment, IssueTrak is well suited to handle this need. It's a very simple and basic approach and after using it for 10 years, it is still just as easy to find what I'm looking for on previous tickets from years ago. The setup can get a little bit of a challenge and if you have a need to segregate users/employees into their own areas for workflow, it can be a little daunting trying to get it just right. Where I feel that IssueTrak falls short is if you need to keep track of CUSTOM FIELDS (fields that you input as searchable and trackable information) in the Dashboard area, where you spend most of your time looking to see what your workload and flow are like, is very limited, requiring you to dig a little further for what you want to see. Also, no ability to input physical addresses / GPS coordinates to be displayed on some sort of real-time map is also missing and could really boost what IssueTrak has to offer.

    Pros
    Helpjuice
    • We were looking for a publishing feature where there would be some required oversight.
    • We have really enjoyed the AI Tool of Wizardshot as it has helped reduce the time spent writing articles.
    • The analytic dashboard to see who has contributed what and which articles are the most clicked on is wonderful

    • Keeps expansive records over a large period of time.
    • Provides a simple way to look at your workload with dashboards.
    • Can be used on a company level with employees, but also can be set up to have customer interaction.
    • Additional modules are handy as well (Inventory tracking, Surveys, etc.)

    Cons
    Helpjuice
    • Article feedback disappears when resolved, would like to see a integration with Jira which we now use to track feedback changes.
    • Analytics for the AI search would be appreciated. Currently we have no idea how many people are actually using this feature.
    • A way to train the AI search bot. Currently there is no way to up/down vote answers or indicate how accurate or helpful an answer is.

    • No place to physically MAP out your tickets (IE: Google Maps / Address Fields / GPS coordinates).
    • Dashboards and ticket items do not update in real-time, making users need to REFRESH to for the latest updates/dashboards.
    • Mobile app not as good as the desktop experience, especially for Dashboard views.
    • Can be a bit complicated to setup and get going. Segregation of departments / users can also be a little on the complex side.
    • Dashboards could GREATLY use the ability to display and track CUSTOM fields for quicker access to the information you want the most.

    IssueTrak is good at what it does, but we really needed some expanded functionality out of it that just hasn't organically happened. Having a 'real-time' update of Dashboards and tickets is a piece that is lacking, especially as our organization continues to grow. A lot of times you go to update a ticket and find out it has been altered/closed before you even hit the submit button. Being able to make charts/graphs of custom fields for Dashboard is a feature (that I feel) is long overdue. Also, the ability to capture address information / GPS coordinates to be displayed on a live map is also a feature we really wanted to see.

    HelpJuice is really amazing as a starter knowledge base vendor. They have great customer service and the ability to customize your website is endless. However, it is difficult to scale up.

    They were always very good at getting a timely answer to any questions I had and in cases where I actually needed support to step in and help, they always delivered. I was very happy with the support I received from them.

    Prior to using Helpjuice, I was using Microsoft Publisher to create all the training materials and manuals for multiple divisions within my company. It was awful. It would lag whenever I opened larger manuals, it operated like software from the late 90s, it was not intuitive, from a design perspective, and after migrating to a MacBook Pro as my work computer, I discovered that the program was NEVER created for Mac OS, requiring me to run Windows on my MacBook whenever I had to update any procedures that hadn’t yet migrated to Helpjuice. What a nightmare.

    IssueTrak shines for basic ticket management and the format in which they display all the information is very well done. I'd highly recommend it to someone that is looking at trying to track information at a ground level (just starting out). While other solutions are not perfect by any means, we just find that it is lacking some key features that we had hoped would have been implemented over the years (IE: More flexibility with Dashboard reporting and custom fields, a way visually look at addresses and GPS coordinates on a display map, more of a real-time approach with data and completion, etc.) This need caused us to look at some other solutions that may fit the bill a little better in the future.

    Return on Investment
    Helpjuice
    • As I mentioned, my productivity in terms of working around issues, asking for help, etc. is greatly reduced on a DAILY basis.
    • I spend as much time finding bugs and filing tickets as I do writing content, and this was especially true at the beginning.
    • The Doc Center looks nice, so you'd never know the pain behind it.

    • Made tracking individual service changes, adds, deletions, and trouble-ticket very easy to manage.
    • We migrated from a paper-based work order system to completely digital and online, thus cutting down on a lot of unneeded printouts.
    • Was able to actually validate and see the performance of users and what they were contributing to the department on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis in terms of work performance.
