### Ticket system with weaknesses

- Overall rating: 4/5

I had the opportunity to use the OTRS ticket system and would like to share my experience. Overall, the use of the system was positive, but there were also some aspects that, in my opinion, could be improved. The user interface is well-designed and significantly facilitates ticket management. The ability to integrate plugins enhances functionality and allows for customization to meet specific requirements. Unfortunately, I encountered challenges regarding adaptability. It was not as flexible as I would have liked, and options for layout customization could be improved. Better customization options would enhance user-friendliness. Overall, I rate the OTRS ticket system with a score of 5/10. It provides solid core features, but limitations in adaptability and the need for layout improvements impact the overall experience. I hope that future updates will address these aspects and further optimize the system's performance.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

Clear user interface, plugin capability provided.

#### Cons

oor adaptability, layout could be more appealing, inflexible

#### Vendor response

Thank you for sharing your comments. I'd be curious to know which version you have been using? The UI was extensively redone in the latest version, offering many customization options on the dashboard, within tickets, etc. In any event, we appreciate the time taken to share your insights.

### Very customizeable, professional service management software

Makes work easier by having a good overview of ongoing tickets, but also past tickets, with details of what was built / done to offer a solution. That's dependant of what you enter into the system of course, but the options are there and they are clear.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I've been using OTRS for quite a few years now, and it's an excellent piece of software that makes my life as a sysadmin/support desk guy easier. OTRS understands ITIL, end users and IT pros, and the software supports that. You can link tickets, make internal notes, make FAQs, paste images into text fields, send e-mails, etc. You can also do templates, customize columns, set alerts when things take too long, etc. It's really nice. It even works with our ADFS server, which is excpected of a tool like this, but still. In short, OTRS is versatlize and customizeable.

#### Cons

There have been minor (cosmetic) bugs here and there, every now and then, which are slightly annoying. Often you can fix these things yourself, but OTRS's configuration is very complex and requires some insight and experience. So in the end, you're gonna have to contact support or read the extensive manual. But buth those options work.

#### Vendor response

Thank you for reviewing OTRS. We appreciate your thoughts and comments.

The provided scalability really help us. As a new demand appears, we can set the software to fit to this new need. This is really a power way to work with software.

#### Cons

When I send some e-mail to, which is related to some active ticket, the emails go agrupated, so for any new e-mail sent, all the previous text are rewritten. In some tickets, there are a lot of du- or tri or quadri-plicated emails. I know this is just something I can solve by deleting the text before sendind it to OTRS, but, it would be amazing if OTRS could append only the new text to the ticket.

#### Vendor response

Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts about OTRS. We're glad for the feedback. I will pass along your comments about the e-mails. It may also help to know that you can submit new improvement ideas to the development team via https://otrsteam.ideascale.com/ Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts.
