The concept of the solution is a good one and in theory, Hornbill Supportworks ITSM is good for incoming inquiries/tickets management. The inquiries can be automatically captured by a user submitting a request, and an email notification is sent to both the Helpdesk team and the customer. The inquiries are then tracked, alerting the team when the SLA is about to be/has been breached. Once the inquiry has been resolved, it notifies all relevant parties, as well as time-stamps the action.
A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time. The incentive was not used to bias or drive a particular response, nor was the incentive contingent on a positive endorsement. More Info
If your budget is really tight, then JitBit is not for you. It's kind of pricey. That said, JitBit HelpDesk is very robust--we've never had one second of downtime in my two years of using it. It depends on what's important to you. If you need rock-solid Help Desk and stellar, trouble-free performance, then JitBit it. If not, there are alternatives that are much less expensive. The cloud version might be less expensive for companies that don't need an on-premise solution.

Fantastic ticketing system to keep track of old conversations from clients.
Fantastic analytics and metric tracking.
Fantastic for sharing relationships with a customer. Generally, this would be a salesperson sharing an onboarding with a support person, but I think you could get creative with it. JitBit is very flexible.
Super easy to learn and use. If you can use your email, you can use JitBit.

The interface is quite hard work, not very visually friendly
It all just feels a bit old fashioned and needs a reboot
This may be an internal process, but not everyone has access, so quite frequently I have to pick requests up and then take them out of the Supportworks system.

JitBit just had the feature set at the cost point we were willing to spend. Nothing against the other products, but this one just fit our model better.

The system 'does what it says on the tin' - it captures and helps manage incoming inquiries - so the positive impact is there.
However, this is not done in the most intuitive or user-friendly manner. This causes frustration at times.
Overall, a single centralized system for managing customer inquiries and requests is paramount for any mid-size business, particularly if this business is service-based

JitBit has neither had a positive nor a negative effect on our ROI. The reason is that we had to have a Help Desk solution that is secure and well-supported.
JitBit does cost real money. The least expensive on-premise option is $1,699, which might have a negative impact on your budget, but I'd have to say that it's worth it--at least for us.
Trouble-free, practically maintenance-free, Help Desk software has a positive impact on our technician time spent on it.
