Raiseaticket definitively serves its purpose, It's already hard to run a customer service, and imagine if you have to maintain a CRM along with this, that's where this tool comes into the picture they'll manage the CRM for you while you can focus on the customer support. It's well suited for interacting with customers and helping them to resolve their issues quickly which led to greater feedback. Sometimes customization can be trickier as the userbase grows over time.

Spiceworks Help Desk from the user end is very simple. Once you submit your technology needs, I automatically receive an email stating that my ticket was received and is being processed. It's also helpful to have the VNC feature so that my IT department can automatically VNC into my computer if it's a quick fix. At times Spiceworks Help Desk can be tricky because as someone who's not in a Tech role at my company, it can be hard to describe what I need assistance with writing.

  • I have always wanted a way to redirect a support request into another IS bin, such as a development task.
  • It's possible to extract the data from the Spiceworks database, but it would be helpful if the process to do so were easier.
  • Improved ability to customize the system generated emails to improve the formatting and company branding.

There is no contract to renew, since it's free. Spiceworks has helped me so much that I couldn't imagine trying to replace it with a different product. I'd have a hard time finding a single product that does everything that Spiceworks does, let alone one that does it as well as Spiceworks and for free

We use it both locally on our own server so up time is decided by us and we also use the hosted help desk. We have never had an outage of that.

Spiceworks has been working out of the box, and some of the basic customizations have been successful with just our internal staff handling. We don't have any other issues with the tool. It provides us with the inventory information we want in a quick and concise report in a variety of formats for our team.

If you can spin up a VM to run it on, you'll thank yourself later. If you have remote sites, set up a local server (or dedicated computer) at each site and set them up as remote collectors for the main site. You'll save time and bandwidth

Alternatives Considered
Freshdesk is also free to use like Raiseaticket. But when it comes to supporting quality Raiseaticket wins. I had several issues while using Freshdesk but their support team never replied to tickets on time. Sometimes they don't reply to tickets and later close them from their end. When choosing a software you should have knowledge of both pre-sales service and post-sales service quality of the software so that you can choose the right one. So this way Raiseaticket wins from Freshdesk.

EGroupware UI is clunky and hard to use, Jira is great but the pricing is expensive in comparison with spice works that has a free version and you can test it out properly before buying and make a correct decision based on your business plan and company objectives with the right software.
