    UserScape
    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.

    Snipe-IT is well suited to managed inventory, accessories, contracts, audits, and maintenance. Some features are specific to assets and others cover all types of items put into Snipe-IT. It is tedious to manage user equipment as kits are mostly not usable and checking in items from a user requires each individual item to be checked in.

    Pros
    UserScape
    • 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.

    Cons
    UserScape
    • 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.

    Snipe-IT is easy to use, fairly easy to install, and simple for end users to find their assigned equipment. Tweaking it does take some configuration outside of the UI with scripting, config file changes, and battling php configurations at times. The GUI is pretty well done for most day to day functions.

    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
