Pros

“The automation features, reporting dashboards, and integrations with other tools are also very helpful for managing workflows and tracking performance.”
SP

Sonu P.

Systems Analyst

“The setup process was smooth, and the platform provides useful features for managing emails, tickets, and team collaboration.”
TG

Tushar G.

Cloud Engineer

“The ability to customise workflows and automate parts of the process is especially helpful, and the reporting tools make it easy to see what’s working well.”
IN

Inamari N.

Customer Account Support

Pros

“This feature has been extremely helpful, especially when managing normal, and emergency changes to any of the IT systems in my organization.”
NO

Nneka O.

Epic Technical Analyst

“A software tool to use for issues with your computer, system outages, request for IT hardware or software, etc.”
JP

Jennifer P.

Sr. Auditor

“User, I query Cherwell for specific condition tickets, reporting.”
CC

Cosmin C.

Senior IT Auditor

Cons

“I'm not a huge fan of the UI clutter when creating a new ticket, but it's not a huge deal and our team's learned to navigate it after a few weeks.”
MT

Maisie T.

Customer Support Specialist

“Sometimes it limits me the way Zendesk suite handles follow up tickets when a ticket is closed. When a customer replies after closure, he creates a new thread instead of responding to previous one.”
MN

Musawenkosi N.

Technical Support Officer

“However, we have not used your service for the past 3-4 months, and a check of our user logs will show that no one from our team has logged into the platform during that period. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue, including contacting customer support, we have encountered an unhelpful response.”
YK

Yevgeniy K.

Data Analyst

Cons

“We noticed sometimes the tool crashes but it gets up fast when contacted with respective people who maintain it.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Amit B.

System Developer

“Customization can take a lot of work and upgrades can often break functionality with no eta or workarounds aside from downgrading or waiting for a future upgrade (which could be a year+ away.)”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Stuart C.

Applications Administrator

“Do yourself a favor and buy something else.”
