DeskRoll Remote Desktop
During the pandemic, our company worked remotely. Various staff in our company had technical difficulties or needed assistance installing software in order to work. DeskRoll Remote Desktop helped us to make this process seamless. Rather than deal with the aggravation of trying to walk someone through something over the phone, we were able to get things established in a simple, easy way.

For beginning smaller companies that are in need of partially automating their incoming requests this product is easy to set up and will assist in structuring these request[s]. These requests can come in via email/phone or web portal. For companies that are beginning to streamline their support procedures, this tool can be a first step into automating part of these processes. This is also how user[s] should see it. It is merely a tool that can assist in structuring the incoming request flow the rest still has to be fit into business processes.

osTicket
- osTicket is extremely user friendly for end users and support agents. It's very easy for new end users to put in a service request. This aspect of simplicity is important because we don't have to train new users on how to put in service requests.
- Feature wise osTicket has everything you need without being overly complicated or cluttered. This is important for us because it allows for faster support times and happier end users.
- Lightweight and very reliable, osTicket uses PHP and MySQL. Setup is easy and it can be hosted internally or externally web hosed. Also, since it relies on PHP it gives you flexibility to use Apache, Nginx , Lighttpd , IIS, etc.
- Thriving community: the community behind osTicket is feature-wise. Which is very helpful if you have any questions.
- Best of all, osTicket is completely free and open source. While they do offer pair tier cloud-hosting and enterprise support. The free version offers all the features of the paid tiers (minus hosing and support).

osTicket
- Language package should permit also the translation of the templates
- It should not require the user to enter his details when creating a new ticket. This should be filled automatically
- Improve the layout of the ticket messages to facilitate reading and interpretation.

Being open-source it is community supported. There is a hosted version that provides better support. Honestly, I have not really needed support

Alternatives Considered
DeskRoll Remote Desktop
We've used various services - RemotePC, LogMeIn, Go2MyPC, etc. We have used it all and none have been as great as DeskRoll Remote Desktop. In other versions, the screen is not super legible, meaning the text is fuzzy or ill-fitting to the viewer's PC screen. We've experienced click delays, and recurring issues where we get kicked off and our data is lost. However, that doesn't happen with DeskRoll Remote Desktop.

osTicket has proven to be a very useful tool for the team to help support the business. Open-source was the right price point and self-hosting as mentioned was quite important (however I believe that osTicket does have a hosting solution available if needed). Jitbit was a close contender but didn't like how it doesn't separate people submitting tickets from users acting as agents. So all in quite happy with the choice.

DeskRoll Remote Desktop
- It has provided easier business access and our ROI is 70%+.
- Customer Satisfaction Survey: we are able to manage a high rating of 9+ - even in a difficult time.
- Internal team collaboration was made easier through secure Instant messaging that we got integrated through Cisco Webex.

osTicket
- When we had a hosted version of osTicket, we were saving some time by having them work on our setup, but we were spending a lot. Switching to our own osTicket build from their open sourcing not only saved us money upfront but we actually spent LESS time developing because we knew our ideas and didn't have to explain them to another (unrelated) party.
- Creating our own ticketing infrastructure for institutional data requests has been a game changer for us. We have been able to interface with our enterprise email client and create a level of customization that meets our existing informational technology culture.
