Back is a collaboration and automation platform that enables internal service and business operations teams to manage workplace requests in one platform. The digital workplace promised to improve work for humans. But instead of removing distractions, it multiplies them.

Chose atSpoke (discontinued)
Spoke is just... easier. Easier to set up and easier to use, for both admins and users. We already have asset management and didn’t necessarily need our ticketing system to be directly connected to it. We wanted a product that was friendly to use, not crazy expensive, and …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

  • Great customer relationship: Spoke is a hands-on partner in our organization, listening to our feedback and implementing our ideas.

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.
