Alemba Service Manager vs. JitBit Help Desk

When a Service Desk agent receives a request from a user to fulfill and an incident occurs during implementation, VMWare Service Manager (VSM) will be able to link all events and correlate records across the system.

Helps to create a continuous conversation between our team and the user. It was clean and easy to understand, training was less than a day for most newbies. Your Devs, Sales, Marketing Support, Management can all use one hub to talk to your users and gather feedback. Helped us expand our teams and realize what directions we needed to expand in. Support supports, Sales sells, Marketing markets... It's like a beautiful dance! It's hard to say that JitBit is right for you, but I can't imagine the industry that JitBit wouldn't work in. You put it in front of an employee, and they know what to do next.

• JitBit HelpDesk is not free. There is no free version. It would be nice if they had a free, limited version that would allow 100 tickets to get used to it before buying as it is pretty expensive, even for the lowest end implementation.
• I wish it were easy to integrate forms into. I've seen numerous questions around the Net about integrating Google Forms or creating forms.
• There is a strong push from JitBit to use the cloud version but some companies really have to use an on-premise solution.

It's performed just how I want it to, so no real complaints really

It wasn't my selection, it's been used for more than five years in the current organization.

We've looked at several different Help Desk solutions, but the names escape me at the moment. We looked at Spiceworks and didn't find it to be bad but we didn't like the ads. There is a purchase version for about $500/year, but we still decided against it--I can't recall why. JitBit's reviews and history are both very good. And if two years worth of no issues is any indication of how well it works, then that alone speaks for itself. I have used other Help Desk applications over the past 20 years and none are perfect, but a hassle-free experience gets a gold star from me.
