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.

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

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

We’re using SAML so I haven’t expected that. I’d hazard a guess that there’s a browser extension in the way.

Unlikely, use like none.

Yeah, I thought that might be the case, I just get issues on some sites with my aggressive cookie/ad blocking. Some minor adjustments are required for some sites to work.

hHave you checked ServiceNow?
That's what we use and it's 100% customizable in almost every way and easily integration with any automation.
The bitch of it I assume is the setup to get it just the way you want it. But after that, perfection. Not sure of the costs at all though.

Something to look out for, some service desk providers have their charge for the actual software and then they have a setup charge on top of that. Not all of them do it.

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.
Yeah I spun it up one time. It's not bad. Just spin up a container to test. That's the quickest way to look at it.

That's what we use. You can customize everything and everything has an API. Sometimes it's a little slow and I'm sure it's expensive.
