    Hi all

    What do you recommend, we are looking to implement Helpdesk software and ticketing system?

    Currently setting spiceworks, but what does everyone else use?

    I've used HP Openview and Remedy, both reasonable.

    I have to say I preferred Hp Openview, but that may just be down to the fact that it was implemented properly in an ITIL environment, so it had a built in CMDB which came in incredibly useful etc.

    Just an aside, but I was on a course last year and there were some guys from Admiral. They said they spend about half a day every week trying to fix their helpdesk software. :D

    Currently using Connectwise for Ticketing, Invoicing and general CRM - using Labtech as our remote monitoring and management software.

    Labtech does do ticketing if you already have an alternate CRM program.

    Take into account we're a SMB IT services provider so not in house.

    We use Richmond, it's a ITIL and FITS system. And while not free, comparing to other servicedesk system, it's quite reasonable. Been using it now for a few years.

    We use ServiceCenter client, but this is getting replaced with service Now.

    service now has been mentioned a few times here, so I must consider it.

    what drew you to service now, is it a good complete product?

    we currently do not have a helpdesk system, we are pretty much taking calls, being stopped in between doing jobs and via email.

    I have gone from one person (myself) to an IT assistant and I am now getting another person. I am also outsourcing first line support calls to a company.

    I want as much transparency between the team and want to be able to have an overview of everything going on in one single manageable place.

    so many to choose from but some interesting products out there
