    Pros:
    Isupport is a ticket-handling platform that assists in the management of issues, incidents, and services. The finest feature is the tracking, which allows you to receive information on where the ticket is and whose team is now holding it. We may examine the entire ticket by looking for the ticket id, which is a unique ten-digit alphanumeric character. The software features a superb ticket management system and asset database, as well as scanning of equipment, is quite versatile and adaptable, and has excellent technical assistance.
    Cons:
    Isupport provides a mind-blowing chat option. We can use this chat tool to send messages to everyone on the list. However, they can only get the message if they are online. If they are offline, they will be unable to read the message when they reconnect. Sometimes it lags slightly, but other than that, there is nothing to dislike about Isupport, and there are far too many features that can significantly increase the company's regular support and ticket resolution speed.

    Honestly we have dumped the End User Desktop as a portal and have instead implemented a Joomla Portal and "plugged in" the incident submission and view open incidents because the front-end is too weak when compared to what else is out there. That being said we also use it internally. The FAQ has been changed since (possibly before 7.6) and it is still broken. If you are supporting external customers with SLAs then this product is great. If you are supporting internal customers then this product can be difficult to wrap your head around but it can work and work well. The reporting is there and is solid. The good thing about this product is it is so solid that you don't have to worry about it. You can set it up and it works just as well today as it did when it was installed years ago. The support is amazing and they are always willing to work with you even when the circumstance may seem a little out of their scope. I recommend this product 100%.

    Pros:
    CUSTOMER SERVICE! I have been with GWI since release 4.0 (still have my mini admin guide and such). Every issue I have had was able to be fixed. Not only that but they remotely connected into my box and fixed it for me. There are a lot of features in their product and they continually are looking inward to their customers for ideas for new features. The product is VERY VERY STABLE. I don't think I've had to ever reboot the server from anything GWI related. Finally with 9.0 GWI has brought support for Firefox, Safari and Chrome.
    Cons:
    IN MY INSTALLATION... The product is built (really) for EXTERNAL customers who have signed up for X,Y or Z service agreement. In our installation our customers are internal and so there are quite a few of the features that we simply cannot use like Workflow Templates and SLAs. Also you get into a situation where Hierarchy Templates are not usable because they are not launched via the normal ticket entry so for my installation I have to create a menu structure with hundreds of templates for each of my uses. This is not good for a department of 2 that supports over 300 users and over 1200 devices total. The last thing I would like to say is that I am still waiting for them to connect a person to an asset when a ticket is submitted. So in other words when a user visits the End User Desktop from computer X there is no way to tell that they submitted the ticket from computer X and not Y. We have users that move around and I've been looking for this for years.

    Vendor Response

    Most of our clients use our solution for internal ITSM. We would be happy to schedule some time to go over how you have iSupport set up to find ways to better fit that need in your environment.

    Frustrating. They aren't going the same direction that my company is. They aren't friendly to undermanned IT departments. What is needed is a more intuitive application. I despise upgrade time.

    Pros:
    We can create tickets. We can track tickets. We can close tickets.
    Cons:
    Set up, reporting, asset management. They are all clunky. Set up can be very dicey if you deviate at all from their recommendation of having the database hosted on the same server as the application. Since they use MSSQL Server, this is a licensing nightmare as Microsoft will tag you for every user that submits a ticket. We had to purchase 500 user CALs even though we only have 3 individuals working tickets. Considering we have other applications that require MSSQL Server, we would like to limit our licensing cost by using only one SQL Server and having multiple applications access it. Moreover, they have not updated their install manual since about version 8 or so, they are now on ver 17. I have trouble with most upgrades. Generally, some small something goes wrong and I have to call tech support. Funny, it is never the same issue twice and it is always related to some change they have made in the upgrade. Oh, you can't really do a manual install either. It will not let you connect to pre-existing databases. Forget about configuring and running reports, unless it is a canned report. Very unfriendly to setup and to get an acceptable output. They use IIS web server. There is a reason why 90% of the internet uses Apache. It isn't because IIS is so good and stable. Asset Management is very clunky to setup and display. When you have hundreds of devices, sorting them is very difficult unless you have tons of time to customize.

    Our company has many ticketing platforms and for our user base, this was an inexpensive and easy to implement tool. We integrated this tool with our email (Outlook) which were then captured in iSupport to be triage. From there tickets were worked. However as we grew, we encountered problems in handling the volume. Configuring the product for things such as user grouping and admin roles was easy in some regards, but could also be cumbersome navigating the areas to make these configurations. Customer support was very helpful though. It was easy to lose track of tickets for follow ups and think they could make a better interface for this area.

The recent UI overhaul made it somewhat more difficult to use. They need to invest in some better UI design 3. Difficult to create reports and new views 4. Good software if you have the resources to customize, not great if your admins are not tech savvy 5. The user-facing portal is ugly and very difficult to manage

    If i am to rate it from 1 to 10 and 10 is the top rating ,i will give it 11.5. The good thing about it is that this is not just a one person opinion, most of the IT members likes its ease of use. Just a small Link on SharePoint or pushed to the desktops and anyone in the Org. can Log a ticket in less than 2 minutes.Integrates with e-mail so you get your e-mail notification to start working on the ticket or as a user with updates on what has being done!!

    Pros:
    The reason i am on this website today to talk about the amazing support delivery from GWI. I logged a ticket few minutes after... i was called on my desk with the resolution and full answer to most of my questions that were not even related to the ticket subject ...i am the least to say impressed. This is not the first time i get such response! On the other hand, from my own 1 year experience Csupport 7.0.1.0 is a very easy to use ticket/Incident/problem/change/Asset tracking web based SW. Almost all departments can use it to track tasks assignments and work to be done as in facilities, Marketing....or inter-departments ....etc While IT can track issues, problems changes and Assets and can link all together even KB articles. It integrates very easily with Active directory, MS SQL and SSRS.(For a DBA this is a fortune of Data) It is based on IIS and rich in features, does not take time as a user or rep. to find your way in and manage your work. I am very eager to see Version 9
    Cons:
    Needs to be careful with IIS settings and fine tune it to keep the performance acceptable under heavy load(i would presume this would be different from a business to another), once this is settled everything else is fine.

    Pros:
    The BEST support staff I've ever worked with by far. The product is easy to use and has done an excellent job of organizing our help desk requests. It is well liked by both the end users and our support staff. We are able to easily create groups and queues for each department. Using templates we have been able to allow the end user the ability to open tickets directly into specific queues. Active directory integration is a huge plus and allows the end user to open tickets with minimal input. Notification options are plentiful and easy to configure. We love the correspondence feature that allows us to easily include full ticket detail in an e-mail to the end user. The PC scan feature is amazing, incredibly useful utility. Numerous Reporting options The product is designed to scale very well
    Cons:
    I wish printing tickets (when necessary) was a faster process. A few too many clicks to get the printing process to happen. Reports are great and plentiful however because we run the application and the Database on the same server, report generation can sometimes be slow.
