      We're switching from Passageways (absolutely horrible) and my boss wants us to go with something called Track-IT, but is open to suggestions. I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for a good help desk, maybe something free even.

      We basically just need it so users can create support requests for the various departments. Integration with AD for SSO would be ideal.

        @Sodium has a mostly working helpdesk that is coming along pretty quickly. Might be worth playing with and getting a feel for where it will be soon before diving into something else. Fully free, even hosted.

        Spiceworks is free and hosted as well.

        osTicket you host yourself, but is free and runs on Linux. We've had good luck with that.

          Awesome, this is what I'm looking for. Thanks Scott

            I'd look at the following, in no particular order:

            • Zoho
            • SodiumSuite
            • osTicket

            NTG was using SW - and honestly there was so little in the way of features and customization - it's rather annoying. I'd pass on it.

              Spiceworks also requires Windows.

                Not for helpdesk only, they have a free, hosted version.

                    It's pretty limited, but easy to use.

                      Does anyone have any suggestions for a simple-to-use company Intranet? The one we have right now again is passageways which totally sucks and really all we use it for is posting bulletins and adding links. I suppose it'd be nice if it could be integrated with the helpdesk tool...

                          That's a loaded question, mostly because an Intranet is a different thing to every company. Sharepoint is the most common tool. Alfresco is common. But often just a wiki or a web page is fine. All depends on what you want for your Intranet.
