Cons

“The interface feels cluttered and messy at times, and the workflows can be confusing and difficult to navigate, especially when managing different features and settings.”
KA

Kosana A.

QA Analyst

“Some advanced automations and setting up certain integrations can be a bit complex at first if you don't have a technical background.”
PG

Pablo G.

Customer Support

“When viewing the ticket, there does not appear to be enough opportunities for some information to be provided, like the friendly name of the company.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Jesse Z.

Software Developer

Cons

“There are also some minor quirks that can be frustrating, such as a ticket being updated by another engineer while you're writing a note, which can result in your text being lost unless you've copied it elsewhere first. While highly capable, some areas could be more intuitive and streamlined.”
JD

Josh D.

IT Support Engineer

“Way too much whitespace all over and information density is not there on the new version like the old one..”
DL

David L.

MSP Architect

“Due to the way tickets are received, formatting within tables can be lost, which can be frustrating.”
