      Currently using FreshDesk for Internal support and hating it.

      We are trialing that right now. @valentina and @mary signed up for it.

        Did someone ever test out Zammad or was there something to disqualify it? I remember it looked interesting.

          Some open source project could do an amazing job with that really easily.

          I've thought of creating an open source library for ticketing features, since at work we want to replace the email client we created and built in to the software with a ticketing system, but it's unlikely I get time to work on that during business hours.

            Sounds like a good idea for an open source project, lol.

                I'll toss GLPI into the ring. It's FOSS and you can tweak it as much or as little as you want.

                  I used that one a long time ago, and it seemed good at the time.

                    It's truly mind blowing how many ticketing systems are out there in the wild.

                      It's true, and how many are SO BAD.

                        I'm no rockstar developer, but I'd be willing to help build one.

                          For us, FreshService came out on top as it's the only one that didn't trip any deal breakers.

                          We are testing it, but so far, finding it very slow and cumbersome. Doesn't even open sometimes. Better than what we are using, yes, but good, no.

                            Zammad

                            Anyone tried this? Looking at the screen shots and it looks useless. LOL I can't tell where you ever see ticket lists or details. They show a lot of things that don't matter, but never show actually using the system.

                              Seems like the only way to be completely satisfied with a ticket system is if you build your own.

                                Eh, I haven't had any issues with Zendesk at all.
                                Other than that one time the internet had a giant DDos attack that took down AWS.
                                When was that....2017?

                                Otherwise, I have 0 complaints with it.

                                  FreshService is what we are using currently.

                                    Scott said that's what they're trialing now, I guess so far they don't like it.

                                      I've only used it from an end user point of view. But I know the help desk team and the other users who are submitted tickets is liking it a lot.

                                        Not much anyway. BUt better than most anything we've seen so far.

                                          Tons of FOSS ones, but of there's a feature you want, it things the list a lot. Just wanting the concept of clients being under an organization and accepting tickets via email drops a ton of FOSS ticketing systems.

                                            That sucks, we haven’t had that experience.
                                            Let their support team know. They’ve always been pretty responsive.
