Featured Reviews

Edward Carbutt - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers multi-tenancy architecture, both in terms of functionality and reporting, requires minimal configuration and no-code deployment
We're still biased towards our previous, more mature product. 4me still needs to reach that level of maturity. However, for most users, the product will do what they need. It's only when you have mature service management processes and need deeper integrations at the process level that you might encounter some limitations. But for less mature needs, 4me works well.
Martina Peneva - PeerSpot reviewer
Implement service management changes while addressing UI improvements
Topdesk's user interface makes it easy to handle requests and escalate them to other groups or reassign them when working on a single ticket. Additionally, the service management tool in HR allows for a change in delivering services, replacing email communication with ticket raising. The knowledge library enables the local HR to store and share relevant information and frequently asked cases, enhancing collaboration. The ticket system also facilitates escalating cases to other involved departments. IT, HR, and some other teams primarily use this system.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is highly stable."
"It offers a comprehensive set of features without requiring additional payments for each feature."
"I like their request management as well as their project management."
"The multi-tenancy architecture, both in terms of functionality and reporting, is the best feature. It is a really well-thought, designed, and developed part of this product."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"This solution has provided me with a well-defined process and interaction, compared to my previous tool, GLPI."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ticketing feature."
"Its ITSM approach is quite useful."
"When it comes to implementing new features, they listen to what their customers want via a suggestion forum that they have."
"Change management is the most critical feature."
"TOPdesk is overall very stable."
"The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is the reports."
 

Cons

"We would like to be able to customize and brand the solution, or at least the majority of its features and dashboards, particularly those that will be used by a large number of people."
"We're still biased towards our previous, more mature product. 4me still needs to reach that level of maturity."
"One area where I believe there's room for improvement in the 4me system is the absence of an asset discovery tool."
"Asset Discovery is a feature that should be added."
"Change management implementation, facility management, and making reservations on assets can be improved."
"It is time-consuming to add new users."
"All companies have processes that need to be adjusted. When you have a change, you need to name it, and many companies have a set of changes you can use. It would be helpful if there were more space in TOPdesk to name the change or use metadata to record the kinds of changes."
"If I open a ticket on the infrastructure team, I can't move it to the financial team for them to manage the ticket."
"An operator is also a user but requires creating two different records."
"This solution is modular so you only buy what you need, but I prefer what some companies are doing where they include everything in the package."
"One of the disadvantages of TOPdesk is the reporting tool. It is very poor and not in real-time. You do not always receive the correct information."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is expensive."
"The licensing costs on the website are about $60 for pay-as-you-go. And then it decreases based on volume discounts or something."
"This pricing falls on the lower end of the spectrum, making it a cost-effective option."
"It is the most affordable because it is priced per month per user."
"Compared to other products in this segment, I think that they are priced well and not too expensive."
"There are three fee options to choose from for a company and these options compared to market prices are very high. For example, if I use one of the first options for 10 assets, then it costs 20,000 Euros. If you went to competitors, then you pay less."
"TOPdesk's pricing is cheaper than Jira's."
"The cost of the solution on a yearly basis is $20,000. Technical support is not extra. It's included in the yearly cost. Updates are also included. The solution is good at keeping its product up to date."
"The solution is inexpensive compared to competitors."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and not expensive."
