Overview

osTicket is an open source <b>customer support ticket management software</b>. The application enables you to gather all incoming enquirers from email, web forms and phone calls into one platform. You can then filter tickets and route them to the right agent. You use the auto-assigner and auto-responder to set repeated workflows and actions for certain ticket types. The free customer support app also offers a customer self-service portal and dashboard reports.

ServiceDesk Plus helps to automate IT help desk processes such as knowledge base, SLAs, self-service, and reports. With optional asset & project management.

Jeff C.

IT Assistant Manager

“One of the standouts features for us is the email piping, which automatically creates tickets from incoming emails—saving us tons of time.”
JW

James W.

Operations Manager

“It centralizes customer inquiries from various channels (email, web forms, phone) into a single platform.”

Pros

“ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus provided a structured and efficient way to manage support requests, incidents, and maintenance tickets across our large zoo.”
CM

Craig M.

It infrastructure engineer

“The out-of-box integration, ability to use APIs for complex integration and not to mention new AI capabilities has given more flexibility to optimise our organisation service delivery.”
RB

Rajneesh B.

IT Consultant

“It handles tickets, assets, and automation well, and once everything is set up, it makes daily support work smoother and more organized.”

Cons

“Their prices are way out of market (wanting more then Freshdesk which is a far more established ticket system). When you reach out for assistance on their Github, you are met with ridicule.”
LG

Luka G.

CTO

“I haven't find any issues until now, but since we have less interactions with some of our customers we might lose some sales opportunities.”
JS

Jelfry S.

Help desk supervisor

“My only personal gripe is the graphical display—I’m just not a fan of how it looks.”
MV

Misty V.

It System Admin

Cons

“We also have Endpoint Central Cloud, and I don't like that we cannot use all remote functionalities available for support in this tool when we have integration, it should be nice to have all those remote alternatives directly in ServiceDesk Plus when we are working on support ticket.”
EL

Edier L.

Network administrator

“Some features feel a bit clunky, and a few settings take longer to configure than they should.”

Brennan G.

System Administrator

“The Dark mode feature is not the best solution to making it more easily readable and there are not enough options to make it look better”
