I advise my customers to use it for all issue tracking, in business development as well as in business operations. An interface to operational systems is therefor very helpful and enlarges the value of the KronoDesk knowledge base, provided that this information is "open" to all users of all departments.

Pros
  • Keeps record of previous interactions/customer history.
  • Displays customer profile, orders and inquiries simultaneously.
  • Allows for excellent employee management (as in seeing where the team is at individually and collectively during a work day).

  • As a system architect I have a clear overview of open issues through clear issue description and assignment to developers.

Cons
  • Gladly continues to enhance the reporting capabilities of the platform making it an even stronger tool with each update.

  • The possibility to create a system/subsystem/component/interface tree of the system landscape, to be used to more detailed issue associations and subsequent detailed planning and monitoring of issues.
  • A quick issue entry with the most important information would be helpful.
  • A "live" report that can contains my current "hot" issues would be helpful.

Gladly is always available to support its customers. That being said, we really haven’t needed support. The product is intuitive and stable. The reality is the support we receive is more collaboration on how we can help Gladly continue to revolutionize this space.

Several freeware/shareware tools like Bugzilla are missing integration with other systems. HP, IBM and CA like systems are too cumbersome and complicated for "normal" users, for me too much "hassle" to monitor issues and related information and links to other issues.
