HelpSpot vs. Serviceware Processes

HelpSpot is well suited for streamlining support ticketing within the organization. By providing a single point of contact to email for support, we were able to increase response time and case resolution by approximately 30% through the increased efficiency of ticket routing via workflows and the ability for IT support staff to grab tickets from the queue instead of having them pile up in a mailbox that contains other emails as well.

You can build every business process with helpLine. The Code is completely free (C#). The only limitations you have are in the GUI, there you probably will miss something. But the Servicemask can be designed free.

• HelpSpot was great for organization. Having different queues allowed each of my team members to organize their conversations with the customer and quickly retrieve the history of the ticket.
• HelpSpot is a fairly simple tool that has a friendly user interface. With it's more modern look, it made it easier for me personally to navigate and train team members on how to use it successfully.
• HelpSpot allowed our team to view the responses section, which allowed our team to cut down on the time we spent responding to a ticket.

• The UI is a little dated but to be fair, shows most of the pertinent information at a glance on a well designed dashboard.
• The UI can also be buggy at times with controls appearing in strange places. These glitches are usually corrected within a reasonable amount of time.

• The task management tool could be better integrated.
• Relatively high memory usage for heavy users.

In case of bugs or coding problems you have to be more specific. Otherwise, they are not forwarded to the development team or it is quickly said that a consultant has to look at this for a fee.

HelpSpot appears to be more of an old-school product but much of the recent technology is running under the surface. It has much of the compexity and customization available with Jira in tandem with the easy communications interface, not unlike Zendesk ,and some of the potential archival intelligence (in the works) of Fogbugz

Unfortunately I have no experience with other products.
