Groove vs LiveAgent vs Jitbit

Groove

Groove works great for small teams that have no demand for sophisticated features. It has all the basics and offers a good upgrade over doing customer support in a shared mailbox. Their knowledge base is very good as well and offers nice customization options. If you have a bigger team and need to collaborate on a lot of tickets it is probably best to look somewhere else.

LiveAgent

LiveAgent is multichannel support suite built in Slovenia. It combines chat and ticketing system. One of the very few that is offered as an on-premises version too.
