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.

Finally got it to load on Chrome on Fedora. But on the CHromebook, still spinning for forever.

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.

Not for MSP, but for our company internal users, we initially used solarwinds web helpdesk which was bad and then moved to servicedesk from manageengine. Started with the standard edition and on the next renewal we moved to enterprise edition getting project, change and asset management.
Works really well for our use, AD integration for user login, set sla per category, business rules to assign tickets to group, tech etc and much more

https://www.jitbit.com/ is what we're rolling out for both our internal and external clients.... Haven't been too involved but it seems pretty flexible and IIRC you get access to the source with the on prem enterprise version.

For an MSP Zammad has one of those visit the portal and get a help chat window things. Here's a couple screenshots, I'm too lazy to give you more.

That looks very nice. Looks like it has loads of integrations.

That's a pretty cool feature. Although we already have that through other tools, it's really neat to have that built in there.

FreshDesk as that's geared towards having external clients while FreshService is geared towards internal clients.
Ah, that makes sense.
FreshService has MSP features. Found this, should be more though
