Overall I have been very satisfied with BOSS and would recommend it to other small to mid sized companies.
BOSS has great customer service. Every time I have had an issue they resolve it quickly. Our account engineer also stays on top of informing us of updates and helps us implement them in very helpful and prompt ways.
Their latest product has a few issues to still work through. AD integrated login wasn't included in the first several releases and that prevented us from updating. Although AD integrated login is now a part of the product, the lack of that feature made it feel like they pushed this version before it was really ready.

Overall experience has been very good. We've been able to customize and implement custom ticketing queues in several different areas of our organization, including Fleet Services, Building Maintenance, and Communications with more to come. A very positive experience.
The installation experience was easy, set up was intuitive, and they continue to make improvements with every iteration.
Reporting is a bit more limited than I'd like, but their support has been fantastic in assisting with generating custom one-off reports to fit our needs.

Overall, BOSSDesk is good tool to manage tickets and multiple customers. SLA customisation is really handy.
Ease of use and configuration. It is easy to manage tickets, users and agents in the solution.
Support provided by the vendor is not up to the mark and requires improvement. Moreover certain features are missing/needs improvement. Reporting needs to be improved a lot as the reports are broken

Was extremely easy to implement and set up. Training and the migration process was simple and took no time to adapt. Boss support responds very fast and handles your problem(s) professionally and quickly. From an administrative standpoint, ticket tracking and handling cannot get any easier.
Would like the ability for the end user to have the option to close out the ticket themselves once the problem is solved/fixed.

This application is very intuitive and very customizable.
The Role options, but those are currently being worked on to increase the flexibility in that feature.

We are upgrading our system to v4.0 web based an is awesome, I like it because is more easy friendly and better to manage. I had less trouble implementing some settings and creating the service catalogs. I think that this is great ticketing system. I never have issues with support, they always help me, especially [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], he is very knowledgeable and vey kind. Kudos for [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]!
That now they have the web based version, which we are in the process of upgrading. Also, the service catalogs, routing rules, reports, and the way to mage all the settings, is way easier than before.
I didn't like the reporting system. I had to contact support, if I wouldn't be able to create my SQL queries.

We have been partnering with BOSS Solutions since 2007 when they introduced DiagWin. It's been one of the most successful decisions we've made. Our positive experiences have encouraged us to extend this application into other county departments, and we've never regretted that decision. BOSS Solutions has offered their knowledge and experience to discuss options and to guide us on how to use their applications most effectively.
Superior customer service along with a solid, well-supported application
They need to improve their communication of new features and functions.

We began evaluating service desk solutions early in 2015. We reviewed options that were both on-premise and cloud-based, systems designed for large organizations and small ones, web-based vs. Windows, different levels of automation and reporting, and much more. In the end, BOSS Solutions was the clear winner for us. As we progressed with our testing, their development team worked very closely with our staff to further customize the product for us and our unique needs. Everyone was all great to work with and very accommodating to our requests. We have an excellent product at a very competitive price. We have been using Support Central for almost 1 year and are very pleased. I can highly recommend them as a top-notch service desk solution provider.
Very flexible. Easy to use interface. Scalable. BOSS worked with us to customize it for our needs.
We had to create a few reports on our own, but that will be true with any system.

I like the interaction you get with the software, the fact that you can customized the icons, and also the support you receive
very basic input, needs more additions. for example project management, incident manage, and change management.

Working with BOSS is great. The product is solid and support is fantastic. I appreciate how responsive they are to customer suggestions and that they engage with us personally to make sure we understand new features and functionality as it is added.
The software does exactly what we need. Great ticketing system, combined with very good inventory control tools. Very robust reporting. My favorite aspect of working with BOSS is the fact that they remain flexible in adding features and functionality based in customer feedback and do so relatively quickly.
Have no concerns - it meets our needs perfectly.

Implements our service response and keeps history.
Quickly write a ticket and assign it. Distributes with ease on 3 platforms. Support is very responsive and they've always helped me. Looking forward to the new web version. I hope to set it up with an ITIL theme. Very reasonably priced. Lots of webinars.
Someone in my organization designed the hierarchy before I got here and I would have done it differently. Will correct it when mapping to the new version. Had to learn SQL to get the kind of reports that I wanted.

Inventory Management
The software is customer and user friendly and love the fact that custom fields can be added. I would recommend BOSS software to any business or local government that need to gain control of managing tickets and managing their inventory.
Routing rules for groups and teams take time to learn. The need to fully understand BOSS and how to utilize the software for reports etc. need to be more hands on.

BOSS allows us to keep accurate inventory of our technology infrastructure. The ticketing/help desk functionality and reporting allows us to ensure that our end users issues are addressed appropriately and in a timely manner. You would be hard pressed to find a solution that offers everything that BOSS does at a price point that fits the budget.
Helpdesk ticketing, inventory, reporting
SQL process does get pretty intensive and can tend to eat up a lot of resources.

I dig the ticketing search and the ability to run reports off the the inventory, that is very helpful. The Dell API integration for warranty and system info is also very nice.
I wish that it's speed was a little better, that might be partially due to the VM that it's on and I plan on bumping it up when I have resources available.

BOSS Solutions Support Central has proven to be a flexible and reliable asset for many of our service departments throughout Forsyth County. It's the primary means for all county employees to request assistance with computer and communications related issues. Our GIS department uses Support Central for every service request it receives and it's employees use the timesheet feature to track their time...

While talking about overall performance, Bossdesk is really a good ticketing tool. with some improvisations it could be the best solution.
the alerts system is really good. The dashboard is adaptive. the overall performance of BossDesk is also good.
The refresh problem is there. I find it little frustrating.

Generations ahead of TrackIT (our solution before Boss Solutions). This has allowed our company to add some real accountability and proper incident hand-off among our team members.
Managed work flows. Automated ticket routing. Easier visibility to work flows, accountability, and assets.
Only how ready your organization is to accept any change but that is not a failing of the software.

I've worked with the software for about 5 years and I've never had any major issues with it. Also, their staff has always been very friendly and helpful, which is very important when considering vendors, in my opinion.
This product works pretty well and is very easy to configure and maintain.
The user interface used to look a little outdated in their previous versions, but their latest version looks a lot better.
