Pros

Freshdesk provides an unrivalled ability to stay on top of client support and issue management. This tool is so far the best in class at supporting our needs in supporting our client base.
It helps me solve customers' inquiry and the best benefit that comes from Freshdesk is it's free. Compared to other paid helpdesks, Freshdesk could still really be worth it.
Overall, Freshdesk is an awesome solution for a tedious task. I recommend it to all my friends in the industry.

Pros

The portability and mobility of the platform are outstanding. The tools are integrated seamlessly.
BOSS is a fantastic company that cares about their customers. The are fast to respond and supportive of our requests.
BOSS Solutions has proven an extremely stable and feature rich product. Having used both Kaseya and Labtech as comparisons I have been quite pleased with BOSS.

Cons

We had a lot of employees that would leave and come back, and if you archived the user, it was a bit of an odd way to get them back into the platform, it's doable, just awkward.
Worse, there is no way to discover this until after you've paid and spent time getting everything set up.
I had to ask for a lot of assistance and spent some time fixing mistakes I have made that could have been easily avoided with a bit more training.

Cons

The support engineer had no way to recover this either. Also there is no documentation on the 2.0 agent in their own knowledgebase.
Some functions are a bit complicated when it comes to defining approvals or routing rules and limited in what you can route on such as limited routing on extended statuses.
After a couple of upgrades, I am no longer able to assign "Primary User" to a computer.
