Easy to customize to business needs, but lacks features related to multi-tenancy and access restriction
Pros and Cons
  • "It's very easy to customize the tool to your business needs."
  • "Currently, I cannot configure more than one point of contact. I have the MSP version, and we have around 80 or 90 customers. I don't see the features where I can configure multiple contact points for a customer so that they're notified when we are having an outreach or when we want to send them a planned maintenance notification. Other things that are lacking are mapping SLAs with vendors and mapping back on the tickets."

What is our primary use case?

It's our ticketing tool.

What is most valuable?

It's very easy to customize the tool to your business needs. 

What needs improvement?

There are many things. If you are a starter or small or medium-sized business, this tool is very good, but there are a few things that everybody would look forward to such as multi-tenancy and restricting some access but enabling it for a few people. Currently, I cannot configure more than one point of contact. I have the MSP version, and we have around 80 or 90 customers. I don't see the features where I can configure multiple contact points for a customer so that they're notified when we are having an outreach or when we want to send them a planned maintenance notification. Other things that are lacking are mapping SLAs with vendors and mapping back on the tickets.

In their CMDB or asset module, they don't have an option to mandate unique serial numbers. They don't have a check for unique serial numbers. So, right now, users can enter duplicated information, and I want to prevent this.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using it in our organization for the last two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It isn't very stable. Off and on, it has bugs, and that's why they have a lot of releases coming up. You need to keep patching it. I wouldn't say that it's very stable. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

If I need to scale up, I need to look at other products. This tool is good for small and medium-sized organizations. If I'm growing the customer bases that I have and if I want to link them to the contracts that we have with other service providers to measure SLAs and other things, this is not the tool for it.

We have rolled it out to about 300 people in our organization. About 100 people use it on a daily basis.

How are customer service and support?

Their support is good. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

It's straightforward. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of ease of setup.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate it a six out of ten.
