    Great for IT department, where service desk is good single point of contact, but can be also used for other departmnets to track their requests. We also use it for development tracking.

    This is well suited for someone who is looking for a basic help desk system (like we were). This product will get you out the door, but after owning it for several years now we have begun to look for more. The hardest part is that you cant get to raw data to use with other BI tools. If you want major customizations you will be limited

    This is one area where they need a lot of help, especially for being selling an ITSM. The service desk is located in Brazil, and they have very few individuals that speak English. Multiple updates over the year have broken the language of the system and tickets have come out in a foreign language. Support is unable to fix issues that occur where downtime occurs. Updates are too fast. Revisions happen 3-4 a week.

    • Upfront, it had a very good ROI compared to a homegrown system that was being used.
    • Allows users to submit issues to get MFG back up and running.
