    1. What kind of service-levels are you looking to establish? 2. Are there other programs you are going to be using for other aspects of 'the job?' 3. How many employees are going to be needing access to ChangeGear? 4. Do you want a highly configurable product or something that will come out of the box pre-set? 5. Are you looking to keep track of equipment deployed to the customers you support?

    Cons
    Serviceaide
    • Not sure if this is due to our back end, but ChangeGear Service Desk can sometimes bog down. Speed can always be improved and, while version 6 has been impressive so far, slow downs are still common.
    • Browser compatibility can sometimes be hit or miss. Certain fields would not work on Chrome, so our department has required FireFox. I have not tested 6 on other browsers but hopefully the upgrade has taken care of this.
    • The communications with customers are not easy to sift through. With limited attention spans, seeing a subject line filled with 'gibberish' causes our customers to either delete or leave the message forever unread. Again, not sure if due to our implementation, but I would clean that sort of thing up.

    Usability
    Serviceaide
    Because it allows me to work in (probably) the most organized way possible. It allows me to collaborate quickly and rather effortlessly with coworkers within my team and other teams in the Technology department. The deduction in rating is due to the issues with speed and browser compatibility. Version 6 has been a revelation but I as always, there's room for improvement.
