Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a Managed Service Provider in IT service and we use TOPdesk to contribute to our operational processes. First from off ITSM perspective via TOPdesk we manage incidents, changes and problems. Beside we also use TOPdesk to address all our (customer) assets. Next to that TOPdesk offers a various amount of modules who help you manage the tracking of your operational processes e.g. KPI and SLA management, contract en service management, Knowledge base function, Self Service Portal, operational management and a wide range of possible automations in actions. It is a very user friendly system also from a configuration point of view.

Pros

Change Management >> ITIL best practice
Incident Management >> ITIL best practice
Asset Management >> Various amount of widgets and possibilities also from a automation point of view

Cons

Make TOPdesk more user friendly in terms of Data enabling and search indexes
Deploying API functionalities per module. Some modules do not have full attention from development perspective
Selections and reporting feature could be more user friendly

Likelihood to Recommend

Good in ITIL/ITSM best practises. The tool offers all features en possibilities to implement the best practice way of working from ITIL/ITSM perspective. It is very user friendly to implement and get started.

Bad in data enabling, selections and reporting. It could be hard to make a right selection and/or report from out of TOPdesk.

April 28, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use TOPdesk as our main ISTM tool, to streamline incident, request and change management for our clients and separately for our colleagues. TOPdesk allows us to deliver our services in a professional way, interact smoothly with our customers and it gives us valuable information to further optimize these services.

Pros

Incident management
Change management
Asset management
Client communication
Customer support

Cons

The look and feel of the customer portal is a bit dated
Implementation of automation an be complicated and not very intuitive
Integration with other (ITSM/CRM) tools is somewhat difficult

Likelihood to Recommend

TOPdesk does a very good job in supporting ITSM processes, such as incident and change management. This allows our business to focus on our core business and gives us valuable information to further optimize services, while is also increases customer satisfaction.

ICT Service Information Supply Management

Rating: 8 out of 10

April 28, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We mostly manage TOPdesk environments for our customers. They use TOPdesk mostly for (ICT) delivery, but also for the supply of information within their organisations. The scope can be anywhere between a simple environment to log events and / or incidents to full-fledged, service delivery, change management, information supply and crisis management.

Pros

logging calls, routing them to operators & re-routing calls to suppliers.
logging changes, splitting them up in different activities & routing them to operators.
Managing lots of assets across multiple locations.
Automating most processes within TOPdesk's existing modules.

Cons

I love the new 'Connections' function, but I'd like to see more columns in the Automated Actions section so we can more quickly determine which automated actions need maintenance.
Some views seem to work differently from others. I'd like them to be more uniform. For example, Automated Actions cannot be progressed through with arrow keys like other cars.
The Self-Service Portal designer definitely needs a search function.
The breadcrumbs on the Self-Service Portal often don't show the complete path. I understand that's due to a form being able to be linked to multiple services, but it's unfortunate from a navigational persepective.
I'd like to be able to more easily share a card by just copying a URL.

Likelihood to Recommend

TOPdesk is well-suited for (ICT) service delivery management, following concepts & processes from ITIL. There are modules for incident & change management, but also for reservations & asset management. It will also help manage the supply of information for medium to large organisations.

With the API, triggers, webhooks, mail actions and custom imports, most processes can be automated in a fine-grained manner. TOPdesk is available as a SaaS solution, but can be even more securely managed as a virtual appliance in your own datacenter.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our Managed Service Desk uses TOPdesk to help our clients with their problems. We provide IT services like managed services and professional services. Incidentmanagement, assetmanagement, changemanagement. The scope of our own use case is application maintenance and control.

Pros

Communicating new features
Providing documents tips etc

Cons

search options within the different modules

Likelihood to Recommend

It does not have templates to use, you need a lot of consulting if you want to build anything and you are not working long with the system.

TOPdesk a great ITSM tool with some adjustments

April 28, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use TOPdesk as one of our main applications. We manage assets, register incidents, changes and lots more. In these incidents, we register all issues with our products or services that our customers come across. We use a lot of automation to connect our TOPdesk to other systems, where we can exchange information with eachother, to speed up our processes.

Pros

Has a nice, natural layout / UI
Quick overview about processes inside your organisation
It gives a lot of control, within your specified permissions
They are easy to reach for support

Cons

The API, that could be a lot bigger, so that automation can be used for more cases.
The Services module has some flaws, for example not being able to have 2 openingtimes on 1 day
Some things within the application feel a bit buggy, for example opening services (takes a long time)

Likelihood to Recommend

A scenario where it is well suited: Using the API of the Incident module to connect with other systems. In our case, we create a lot of connections with our customers, and implementing a solution for these purposes is pretty easy.

A scenario that is less suited: being a MSP, we have so many customers, that a bit more standardization would be nice, so that most customers will fit the same scenarios. Now we still have a lot of manual work to do, because of these exceptions.

User friendly tool for keeping track of your work

April 28, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use TOPdesk as a tool to keep track of incidents and changes from our customers. We log tickets, give frequent progress updates to the customers via standardized e-mails and we communicate with colleagues over the issues that are faces during the ticket resolution. We also use TOPdesk to create dashboards and reports with which we can show our customers our SLA times, the type of tickets and if we can help them in a certain topic if necessary.

Pros

Logging from tickets
Customer contact
Help with design questions

Cons

Translations when communicating with different countries
Roadmap to help with design and to see where we can improve

Likelihood to Recommend

TOPdesk is user-friendly for our application managers. We can keep track of our incidents and changes quite well, even without having all the modules installed. What I think could be improved is thinking along with the use and optimizing the use if you do not use all the TOPdesk modules

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use TOPdesk for the incident management, change management and cmdb (asset management) for out internal organization and customers who use the services of our infra/cloud business unit. The customers who use development services use a different service management system.

Pros

The UI/UX design
Reliability
Blogposts and knowledge items in My TOPdesk

Cons

Releasing more frequent (small) improvements
Sharing more automation examples

Likelihood to Recommend

The software is reliable and easy to use. A lot is customizable with automated actions but the Self Service Portal is not. You can only change the color of items in the Self Service Portal and change the logo. Also the form style in the Self Service Portal looks like it has been designed years ago and is never updated since.

We use it for supporting other companies with service management problems.
We register their incidents and changes and keep track of assets and services.

Pros

Incident management
Change management
Knowledge management
Asset management

Cons

Asset management selections
Reporting dashboards for service levels
The interface for selection building

Likelihood to Recommend

TOPdesk is a great tool for registering, keeping track of and resolving incidents and changes.
With accessible modules and add ons it provided an easy workspace to manage your workspaces and services.
It could improve with the reporting section over incidents and changes, but excels in knowledge management and user experience.
