                    I've been using Zendesk for my clients for a few years. I am on the verge of routing all emails to Zendesk, that's how much I like it.

                      Awesome, I've seen a lot of people choosing that.

                        Hey Scott, finally got around to checking out the new site and this is the first thread I've checked out so thought I would reply here first. I checked out a ton of different helpdesk solutions when researching the best one for my MSP... Autotask & Connectwise I have used before and they feel too bloated not to mention pricey. Obviously I've tried Spiceworks but not so great for MSP's as stated already. I used a free one called Freshdesk for quite some time while I was trying out other products. After ruling out Zenith InfoTech/Continuum, Kaseya, and several others I finally settled on GFI Max for my MSP Platform and shortly after I went with them they launched Service Desk which integrates nicely with their management dashboard. So far I have been pretty happy with it.

                                What we seem to be seeing is that when posting on their forums, no one is talking about what they are actually using. But here where the site is not dedicated to their support, everyone is admitting that no one is running the software. I knew that many were not that were not saying it before, but now I am realizing that almost no one is using it!

                                  I'm still using SW, but not all the bells and whistles. Management hasn't backed the use of tickets (though I think they are starting to really warm to the idea) so I'll keep SW, but I think I try the newly free'd one too.

                                    Using a standalone SW, install at one client. Nothing for the rest, just email and phone as they are all smaller clients. Really looking for something To keep it all in one place which SW cannot do for me. Will be looking at the ServiceDesk+ offering.

                                      If doing something for tickets without having anything pre-existing I would really look seriously at ServiceDesk+

                                        I hope that they do their MSP+SaaS. That would be great.

                                          @scottalanmiller They revamped the RDP process, here's a screenshot. Supposed to be some other improvements, but I haven't dove into those yet.

                                            @Bill-Kindle I looked at that but it still requires that you be on the same network which makes it make no sense. The interface is web based and can be accessed anywhere. But then there is just normal RDP. It's a confusing and nearly useless mismatch.

                                            Just further solidifies how disconnected from their customers they are and how little they listen to feedback. They don't think about actually using the product at all.
