All the results are present in one place that makes it easy for me to take a look and enhance my performance. Everything is so detailed and simple. > > **Cons**: I don’t have such a problem with this application, my work is going on smoothly without any hassle as such. > > When it comes to ticket management and building a better customer bond helpdesk was very easy and detailed to work with ----- ### "HelpDesk has great potential to help our workflow\!" — 4.0/5 > **Emmanuel** | *19 September 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I appreciate the HelpDesk system, because it is competitive with features and and pricing to other similar services. It's helpful that it integrates with Livechat and Chatbot services well, and allows us to track multiple sources of contacts so that none of our requests fall between the cracks. > > **Cons**: I do wish that helpdesk had better/deeper integration with chatbot. I wish that tags were connected with livechat, and that we could more easily find transcripts from tickets so we can get a fuller picture of a visitor's experience and questions. Creating more fluid tickets that can be updated based on multiple interactions from our website would be a major bonus. We would like to have more AI options and more customizable AI features in how it could respond to common questions. With the move to text.com as one app for all the services, there are still many features missing that we found helpful, especially to be able to customize views with filters. Please bring that back\! > > We liked the LiveChat tickets, and did not have a need for many of the extra features that are in helpdesk, but for what it offers, we have benefitted. We are looking forward to the features that have not carried over to the new version to be added again\! ----- ### "Helpful Tips to Improve HelpDesk" — 3.0/5 > **Daniel** | *6 June 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how all of the tickets are in one place, and they are easy to sort through by using the left and right arrows. It is helpful to have the dropdowns right there on the side to quickly and easily assign them to the right team(s) to be handled appropriately. > > **Cons**: The main aspect that I do not like about the helpdesk is that if you assign a ticket to someone, or if someone assigns you a ticket, there is no notification email sent to the assignee. This would be very helpful when setting tasks to solve or close tickets. One other thing that I do not like about the help desk is that there is no option to download the ticket to send to an email. For example, sometimes we would like to directly email the ticket to another colleague at our company for review or feedback before marking solved or closing it out. Additionally, having the ability to convert a ticket to the chat archives would be helpful so we can then download the transcript from there and send to email. Essentially, the archive function in HelpDesk is useless and the ticket should go into the actually LiveChat archives. > > Overall experience is basically described in the first two boxes above. The HelpDesk is just okay. It is there for us to be able to pick up and assign tickets, but it certainly lacks in some areas of functionality and I rated it 3 stars because I believe there is room for improvement. I think the focus should shift to actual functionality of what we do with these tickets in our workflow. ----- ### "A Reliable and Efficient Tool for Daily Support Needs" — 4.0/5 > **Mouatez** | *3 December 2025* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: HelpDesk offers a clean and intuitive interface that makes it easy to track and manage tickets efficiently. The notification system is reliable, and the automation features save a lot of time in daily workflows. Customer support is also responsive and helpful. > > **Cons**: Some customization options feel limited, especially when adapting the dashboard to specific team needs. Reporting tools could also benefit from more flexibility and deeper analytics. Occasional delays in ticket updates can happen during peak usage times. > > Overall, my experience with HelpDesk has been very positive. The platform significantly improved how issues are handled and followed up, making team coordination smoother. Despite a few areas that could be strengthened, it remains a dependable tool that enhances productivity and communication. ----- ### "Best support ticket solution out there\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 August 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to streamline Ticket management and resolution as well as the ability to open a ticket from a live chat\! > > **Cons**: I didnt like the fact the embeded ticket form does not allow to upload images or files straight out of the box. > > Excellent, all tickets are now tracked, managed and resolved while giving me a clear complete picture of their status. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/150799/helpdesk?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/150799/helpdesk) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
