osTicket reviews

Great Help Desk Ticket System

Pluspunten:

oS Ticket has been a great IT Help Desk system for our company. Users can easily send in a help request via email, and oS ticket automatically creates a ticket and alerts our help desk. The system allows for tickets to be assigned to different technicians, change hands, and keeps a detailed note/tracking of everything associated with the ticket. There are a lot of great reports as well, including # of tickets closed, average response time, etc.

OsTicket can provide what we need

Opmerkingen: my experience use this osticket is satisfy. this can very useful especialy if you are the first time use ITSM and ticketing management.

Pluspunten:

this ticketing system can have many categorized and element. so it is more easier to you while make your own form.

Minpunten:

i think os ticket must build some business intelegent dashboard or make a decision report for management.

Great helpdesk system | Opensource and Paid version

Opmerkingen: I've worked with several OSTicket versions for more than five years, from 1.5 to 1.17. further, i have implemented both the self-hosted and cloud versions for a number of organizations. this can be very useful especially if you are the first time using ITSM and ticketing management.

Pluspunten:

OS Ticket has been used as an IT Help Desk system and incident management systemEmail integration (O365 /Google workspace)Department-wise ticket number generation Help topic-wise SLAVery easy version upgrade for on-prem

Minpunten:

Version 1.17 has an issue with the auto auth token access issuePHP version is compatible with Version 1.17 (So we cannot run multiple systems with OSticket)Email fetch time issue - it takes more time to fetch the mail than what we configured in the systemVersion 1.17 has an issue with one DB view - department-wise ticket countAuto escalation not available

If Issue tracking and Ticket management is your requirement, osTicket is your choice.

Opmerkingen: As a free opensource tool, osTicket is great. We used it in our startup and my current company which is really good. It does ticket management really well. There are loads of customization, it's easy to use and can even work in a small hosting environment.

Pluspunten:

Fast, quick and easy to setup. OpenSource so can be self-hosted.

Minpunten:

Some file types are not supported as attachments. A bit obsolete in terms of technology but does the job.

The jumping Kangaroo I like

Opmerkingen: We switched some months ago from another product. After the initial settings (creation of staff, set the email subjects, the SLA, the fields to be displayed...) we start using OsTicket and it works really well. You just need to learn to manage and move among the various tabs, that may be a bit confusing sometime.
I also use OsTicket via mobile phone, the web pages are clear and easy to navigate and interact. Well Done!

Pluspunten:

First of all, you can use OSticket freely, install it on a Linux machine, set your environment and you will have a fully working ticketing system. The interface may not look appealing, but it has all the information and features you need, plus of course you can customize it. Customers can open tickets via web interface or simply sending an email (you have to set this feature). You will receive an alert via email (remember to customize the alert) and on dashboard a new ticket will be displayed. Just assign it to yourself (or other collegue) and interact. Files and images can be attached. Very simple and intuitive to use. When you are on holiday you can set the holiday mode on your profile so you will not receive notifications, just remember to uncheck it when you come back.

Minpunten:

You need a Linux machine and a bit of knowlegment to make OStocket work. Anyway you will find documentation on internet. Interface may look old. I suggest to zoom it.

osTicket an easy way to manage customers tickets

Opmerkingen: I use osTicket everyday and helps me a lot to manage customers requests.
The interface is simple and intuitive, I suggest to zoom it for better visibility.
Highly recommended!

Pluspunten:

Os Ticket helps you to manage helpdesk request by your customers. They can open a new ticket via email or create an account and interact via dashboard and you can assign the new ticket to yourself or your collegues. In your replies you and attach images and/or document. You can have reports and do many researches and also customize the logos/initial screen, set holiday mode (so no new ticket notifications will arrive to you). Osticket runs on linux machine, the installation and configuration is quite easy, just follow the instructions. You can find documentation and plugins on internet.

Minpunten:

Some menus are a bit confusing, sometimes when I click on a features I don't see on screen what expected

Rock solid, no problems or outages related to the software for over 9 years!

Opmerkingen: This software gives our employees a place to report problems to multiple departments and receive timely answers to their technical issues. It allows us to measure metrics for performance, and see trends in issues. Importantly it also allows us to have a historical reference of all problems, outages, etc.

Pluspunten:

osTicket is the best open source ticking system out there. Did I mention that it's free? It's fairly easy to customize and is very intuitive! It has an active support forum and community supporting it. There are third party developers that have created (free and paid) plugins and modifications to help others customize their system to their environment and companies needs. Need paid support or hosting? Need custom installation services? Have a feature that isn't available that you need? Enhancesoft, the parent company that owns and pays developers to work on the project, offer all of that.

Minpunten:

There are a couple of features that I think are important that this type of product has, and they [the developers] have been really slow to implement them. Responsive Themes being the biggest of these. While you can modify it to make your own themes this type of feature is needed. note: Devs have promised this with the forth coming 2.0 release.

Perfect software for my ecommerce website support portal

Pluspunten:

When my ecommerce business started to take off and we were placing 400 orders a day, we needed something better than just an email inbox to manage customer service. With osTicket, I can manage my several customer service managers and inboxes to ensure we are utilizing our time in the best way possible, and serving our customers needs effectively. osTicket was the perfect addition to our toolbelt, and after trying alternatives, this was still the front runner.

Minpunten:

The setup is a bit involved. There are a lot of out of the box settings that need modified in various places in the interface. It does take time to get used to the interface, but once you get the hang of it, the software is set and forget style. Works well for me anyway.

Support tickets, email notifications, mobile app, all relatively easy to use

Opmerkingen: Support ticket software, for free. But not the best feature set around.

Pluspunten:

Ticket tracking and email notification Tasks can be added to tickets for additional steps before a ticket can be closed. User management is fairly easy, and users can be organized by teams and departments Files can be attached to the ticket. A Paid Mobile app allows for simple ticket management.

Minpunten:

Notifications and team/department access seems haphazard and a bit of an afterthought. It could be much better organized. Mobile app is very limited and very pricey for what little it actually accomplishes.

BEST help desk software 2022

Opmerkingen: good experience overall and i would recommend

Pluspunten:

Easy to customize or edit forms and configurations for workflow

Minpunten:

there is a limit to features but still not too bad

Free and easy to setup support ticket system to deliver a great user support experience.

Pluspunten:

Being free to use and easy to implement and setup, osTicket is suitable for non-profit and small business. osTicket offers large set of features and options that enables to customize and deliver great user support experience for example you can create custom departments, customize support system pages and modify ticket fields like adding additional ticket fields. osTicket is a very customizable support ticket system that offers many options to help customize all aspects of user support experience like the ability to customize departments, emails sent to user, pages and alerts. osTicket offers an easy to setup knowledge base of frequently asked questions to help minimize support requests.

Minpunten:

osTicket lacks some important options and features like the option to automatically close tickets after a certain period of time, an option to disable Overdue behavior and the lack of custom themes of both user and agent interfaces.

An easy Ticket system

Opmerkingen: We use Osticket more than five years. I highly recommend it.

Pluspunten:

You don't need a knowledge translation to start using it. It's simplier than others.

Minpunten:

The release of new versions is slow. The User Interface is old.

osTicket - Issue Tracking Made Easier

Pluspunten:

It's the best open source ticketing system. Claiming and reassigning tickets is very easy, as well as email notification is sent out, once a ticket is overdue. User is able to export tickets quickly using the filtering option of, Assignee, ticket status, and date. From the exported report one is able to see when a ticket was raised and closed. This helps to track on the SLA's

Minpunten:

OSticket, does not show how long a ticket took to be escalated to the next level, i.e from level 1 to level 2. It lacks the option to automatically close an overdue ticket after a particular time. There should be an option to reassign a ticket to the next person, if its overdue

Probably Best Free Customer Support Platform ever.

Opmerkingen: OSTicket is so far my beloved customer support system when it comes to free platforms and easy of use functionality. I have spent over 1 year of managing and using OsTicket with 18 different agents and 4 separate departments. Thus, I will share my review of the system below in few words.
(Please note this is about the self-hosted package of OsTicket, not Cloud-based.) The main advantage of the system is its nature of being equipped with all the necessary functions to maintain the medium sized companies support platform. It is a convenient system to carry out daily support-related tasks, answer tickets, have an unlimited number of cases/departments/agents, etc. In terms of simplicity, OSTicket is really user-friendly and easy to use platform that perfectly realises its own purposes of being reliable ticketing system. It is easy to install and maintain, the internal admin and agent user face are user-friendly as well. The main disadvantage of the system might be its lack of statistical measurements. It was the main aspect I was lacking while using the OsTicket. It is really hard to get the valuable statistical data from OSTicket regarding the agents, their working levels, times, etc. Basically, there is just one simple page of "Statistics" that shows the quantity of the tickets and some basic stuff and that's all. Nothing else about the statistics. Furthermore, another disadvantage is its lack of social integration. The reason I decided to move my company to another platform was that I couldn't integrate the OsTicket with Facebook & Twitter platforms. There are other little disadvantages, however, not worth mentioning as they don't make a big different. All in all, if not the aforementioned disadvantages of the system, OSTicket would be one of the best solutions for the small and medium-sized companies' support system needs. However, as it's completely free I'm nothing but grateful to the developers who developed this wonderful system and share it for free.

Backbone Ticketing For Tech

Opmerkingen: Overall OSTicket lets our tech and maintenance teams address issues in a timely fashion. It is pretty simple to use and therefore easier than some systems for our less technical staff.

Pluspunten:

The software allows our staff to create trouble tickets for both tech and maintenance. The incorporation into out email system (Gmail) easily lets staff create these tickets through simple emails. More advanced users can log into the portal and track all of their open tickets.

Minpunten:

Our previous software was harder to setup but had a few more features. It would be nice to have a heftier reporting feature or trend management built in. Inclusion of asset tracking would be a plus too.

Free and Easy!

Pluspunten:

This software is easy to deploy, just git clone from https://github.com/osTicket/osTicket Feature packed and ready for SMB deployment on your own servers. Community support is active and easy. Also available as an install package on Synology NAS

Minpunten:

For out of the box ticketing system, this software has no real downsides. Some have said its hard to install but I did not have any issues getting it up and running. The fact that you can install this as a package direct from Synology package store makes it even easier.

osTicket

Opmerkingen: Overall osTicket has significantly helped me streamline our IT support in a mid-sized company.

Pluspunten:

osTicket is an open-source help desk ticketing system. It has all the best features, is easy to set up, deploy, and maintain and is fully customizable. I needed a help desk platform that could be hosted on-site and osTicket has fit the bill perfectly.

Minpunten:

I really don't have any cons for this software. It's open-source and the developers monitor their support forums well so issues can be resolved in a timely manner.

osTicket

Opmerkingen: So far great experience.

Pluspunten:

Great simple application for support ticket. I am using this app for the past 8 years or more. For someone looking for a basic ticketing system, this is the one. Since the app is opensource, no need to pay for it. lately they have paid hosted versions. I am running mine in my own server. For me this works perfectly as a ticketing platform. You can create web tickets or email tickets.

Minpunten:

Reporting can be better. Since its a free app, it's not fair to complain.

It suited our needs at the time

Opmerkingen: Like a I said in the title it fitted our needs at the time, but as we improved our system we found that we had outgrown the software.

Pluspunten:

It's easy of use is second to none. Everything is very intuitive and you can't fault it for that. It does the job it sets out to do, provide a space to view any issues that come into your service desk

Minpunten:

The system just lacks a polished finish. From a visual perspective it looks out of date and it's lacking feature which people nower days probably want like reporting.

It gets the job done without the clutter

Pluspunten:

The installation is really easy being a PHP application. It lacks some features present in other support management applications, but it has the minimum necesary to get the job done without complications. It has a very ease to use API to make osTicket work with external systems like call center and CRM.

Minpunten:

The search functionality needs some work. It's difficult to search for specific customers or even ticket ID, but overall, is OK.

Best Tool for IT Support Ticketing system

Pluspunten:

It's Open source tool which perfect for IT support Ticketing system

Minpunten:

They can Improve the reportings and launch some free plugins

Flexible and very user friendly software

Opmerkingen: It's a good and free platform!

Pluspunten:

Being free to use and easy to implementation gives us a huge savings in our organization. osTicket offers large sets of free plugins and options that enables to customize the osTicket dashboard based on your organization. For example, you can customize the user support like email sents, knowledge based or FAQ in front of the report ticket dashboard.

Minpunten:

Initial installation can be difficult if you have never do this before. There are many services to be setup just to get it work.

Its easy and user friendly

Pluspunten:

The way of answering the tickets is prety much easier on os tickets and ot helps the user to assign the tickets to any one from staff and the notification of alerts look good

Minpunten:

Filters doesn't work good its really hard to filter tickets based on the name or client name it should be done better and add few addtional options to advance filter

We use multiple instances of this software from IT tickets to Purchase orders

Opmerkingen: It is versatile. We use it for multiple things like IT support, Customer complaints, and contractor purchases.

Pluspunten:

Once it is setup, it runs itself with almost no tweaking. It has all of the same features as paid helpdesk suites.

Minpunten:

Initial configuration can be difficult if you have never done it before. There are so many things to setup just to get it working.
