Great Help Desk Ticket System

PROS

oS Ticket has been a great IT Help Desk system for our company. Users can easily send in a help request via email, and oS ticket automatically creates a ticket and alerts our help desk. The system allows for tickets to be assigned to different technicians, change hands, and keeps a detailed note/tracking of everything associated with the ticket. There are a lot of great reports as well, including # of tickets closed, average response time, etc.

If Issue tracking and Ticket management is your requirement, osTicket is your choice.

As a free opensource tool, osTicket is great. We used it in our startup and my current company which is really good. It does ticket management really well. There are loads of customization, it's easy to use and can even work in a small hosting environment.

PROS

Fast, quick and easy to setup. OpenSource so can be self-hosted.

CONS

Some file types are not supported as attachments. A bit obsolete in terms of technology but does the job.

Reason for choosing osTicket

Open Source community and well tested by the community.

Rock solid, no problems or outages related to the software for over 9 years!

This software gives our employees a place to report problems to multiple departments and receive timely answers to their technical issues. It allows us to measure metrics for performance, and see trends in issues. Importantly it also allows us to have a historical reference of all problems, outages, etc.

PROS

osTicket is the best open source ticking system out there. Did I mention that it's free? It's fairly easy to customize and is very intuitive! It has an active support forum and community supporting it. There are third party developers that have created (free and paid) plugins and modifications to help others customize their system to their environment and companies needs. Need paid support or hosting? Need custom installation services? Have a feature that isn't available that you need? Enhancesoft, the parent company that owns and pays developers to work on the project, offer all of that.

CONS

There are a couple of features that I think are important that this type of product has, and they [the developers] have been really slow to implement them. Responsive Themes being the biggest of these. While you can modify it to make your own themes this type of feature is needed. note: Devs have promised this with the forth coming 2.0 release.

Perfect software for my ecommerce website support portal

PROS

When my ecommerce business started to take off and we were placing 400 orders a day, we needed something better than just an email inbox to manage customer service. With osTicket, I can manage my several customer service managers and inboxes to ensure we are utilizing our time in the best way possible, and serving our customers needs effectively. osTicket was the perfect addition to our toolbelt, and after trying alternatives, this was still the front runner.

CONS

The setup is a bit involved. There are a lot of out of the box settings that need modified in various places in the interface. It does take time to get used to the interface, but once you get the hang of it, the software is set and forget style. Works well for me anyway.

Support tickets, email notifications, mobile app, all relatively easy to use

Support ticket software, for free. But not the best feature set around.

PROS

Ticket tracking and email notification Tasks can be added to tickets for additional steps before a ticket can be closed. User management is fairly easy, and users can be organized by teams and departments Files can be attached to the ticket. A Paid Mobile app allows for simple ticket management.

CONS

Notifications and team/department access seems haphazard and a bit of an afterthought. It could be much better organized. Mobile app is very limited and very pricey for what little it actually accomplishes.

Open source and free

PROS

It has most of the functionalities you will require from a ticketing system, moreover it is open source so you can always change things the way you want, develop additional functionalities. Easy to install and customize, the menus are understandable. Creating agents, permissions, access rights, most of the things are just as needed. You can customize the templates without going into core files. There are many people in the forum answering to your trouble issues as well as admin himself.

CONS

There are only a few plug ins, I think people should be guided to develop more plugins. There is still some development pending like PHP 7.1 compatibility, archiving of tickets etc. But again, you can always find developers and change the system
