Some elements require a lot of thought, Service Catalogs, but overall, an OOB experience that did not hinder progress to launch the new desk.

The overall experience was decent. The user interface was smooth and easy to use and made the experience intuitive.
Pros:
I most liked the ease of use and the user interface was very intuitive. The dashboard made it easy to navigate and use.
Cons:
The biggest issue was the cost per device. The other downfall is the invoicing module was primitive and did not include a recurring feature.

"Great IT Support App For Technicians"

20 August 2025
5.0 Show more details
Pros:
I personally like how it is easy to view helpdesk tickets, update them, and then close them. Additionally, having a feature where you can search for users in your organization and the ticket history for them is a true bonus.
Cons:
The UI is not very user friendly. Additionally, there isn't a mobile app for IT support technicians, which would be helpful since many techs work outside of an office space.
