atSpoke (discontinued) vs. GLPI

With our experience, it is very well tailored to organizing our work requests to the IT dept in a very organized, user friendly fashion. The 'smart' technology allows all employees to submit a ticket within their favorite software / process (e.g. Slack vs. email) and IT can field requests in a central location.

GLPI is
well suited to an on prem environment, I work for a company that values open-source
software and European solutions.
I have no
experience with GLPI cloud hosted solution or their support as we have in house
devs that fix and improve our installation, their community in the support forum
is excellent if you have a question or want advice on an issue.

• Machine learning: Spoke learns the answers to common questions and will offer answers when people submit requests.
• Simple licensing: Straightforward, per-user licensing, that doesn’t require add-ons or hidden costs to use it fully.
• Great customer relationship: Spoke is a hands-on partner in our organization, listening to our feedback and implementing our ideas.
• Fast development cycle: The process, from the conception of new features to their general release, can be as short as a few weeks.

We’ve used
GLPI for many years and the interface has gotten better with every major
release, the dashboard is easy to use and customizable.

With the
massive catalogue of plugins, you can change or add so many features and if you
have the right team, you can turn it into a completely unique piece of
software.

So, if the
default setup isn’t to your liking you can tweak it extensively.

Any questions we've had were fielded in a very timely manner and their staff have been very helpful in our launch and ongoing inquiries. Internally, it has been very well received amongst staff and has increased efficiency, company wide

Spoke outperforms ManageEngine Service Desk Plus on all levels. The user interface is a lot more user-friendly. Service Desk Plus did not offer any AI-driven auto-responses. They also did not offer any Slack integration which is the primary way (and preferred) that our employees prefer to put in tickets. This alone is worth its weight in gold.

We selected GLPI because it is free software, and because of the potential it expected to have. We do not consider other alternatives.
