Likelihood to Recommend Any business that has a customer base could benefit from Gladly. If you call, text, social media message, etc Gladly can do all of these functions and keeps all of these conversations easily located so that you can refer back to previous conversations. The ability to leave notes on the account is very helpful.
Read full review It's a great helpdesk solution - we currently have five years of data within it, roughly 25,000 tickets. The older edition is a great inventory and software license tracking tool. It is easy for users to use the interface and submit tickets and requests on the web, and its email integration is solid. The new version is a below-average system monitoring tool, only giving up/down status and a few other metrics.

True Omnichannel support system where all channels live on the same screen without the need to hop between applications. Built-in knowledgebase (Answers) reducing team member ramp time and providing a template for consistent solutions for our customers.

Detailed reports allow managers to keep track [of] and analyze data. Allows for a database to store notes helpful for future tickets. Read full review Cons Gladly has errors where it times out and I lose a call. Which negatively reflects on me. If a contact is not currently assigned to me and I don’t know their info I can’t find them easily even if I was associated with the ticket. The inbox could notify you better of completed tasks and keep better track of your history in your own account. Read full review I have always wanted a way to redirect a support request into another IS bin, such as a development task. It's possible to extract the data from the Spiceworks database, but it would be helpful if the process to do so were easier. Improved ability to customize the system generated emails to improve the formatting and company branding.

Gladly meets all our expectations and continues to provide a see less transaction
Read full review Spiceworks is a free tool, so there would be no hesitation if we are required to upgrade it. We have installed Spiceworks on a dedicated server with more than enough resources to get the most from this tool, so we will have this running in our department for years to come.
Read full review Usability Spiceworks is user friendly and easy to set up. It can be customized to suit your needs. If there are any problems, you can go to the community forums for support and be in contact with many IT Pros, as well as the Spiceworks support staff and development teams who are always happy to help users out
Read full review Reliability and Availability We use it both locally on our own server so up time is decided by us and we also use the hosted help desk. We have never had an outage of that.
Read full review Support Rating Gladly is always available to support its customers. That being said, we really haven’t needed support. The product is intuitive and stable. The reality is the support we receive is more collaboration on how we can help Gladly continue to revolutionize this space.
Read full review Spiceworks has been working out of the box, and some of the basic customizations have been successful with just our internal staff handling. We don't have any other issues with the tool. It provides us with the inventory information we want in a quick and concise report in a variety of formats for our team.
Read full review Implementation Rating If you can spin up a VM to run it on, you'll thank yourself later. If you have remote sites, set up a local server (or dedicated computer) at each site and set them up as remote collectors for the main site. You'll save time and bandwidth

Read full review EGroupware UI is clunky and hard to use,
Jira is great but the pricing is expensive in comparison with spice works that has a free version and you can test it out properly before buying and make a correct decision based on your business plan and company objectives with the right software.
Read full review Return on Investment It positively helps us communicate with each other before we communicate with the timer if there are any questions or issues. Gladly helps prioritize email vs phone call and chat so that you are focusing on the most important task at hand. Gladly allows you to view what other representatives are doing and if they are busy or available for questions.
