    The concept of the solution is a good one and in theory, Hornbill Supportworks ITSM is good for incoming inquiries/tickets management. The inquiries can be automatically captured by a user submitting a request, and an email notification is sent to both the Helpdesk team and the customer. The inquiries are then tracked, alerting the team when the SLA is about to be/has been breached. Once the inquiry has been resolved, it notifies all relevant parties, as well as time-stamps the action.

    Cons
    Hornbill
    • The interface is quite hard work, not very visually friendly
    • It all just feels a bit old fashioned and needs a reboot
    • This may be an internal process, but not everyone has access, so quite frequently I have to pick requests up and then take them out of the Supportworks system.

    Return on Investment
    Hornbill
    • The system 'does what it says on the tin' - it captures and helps manage incoming inquiries - so the positive impact is there.
    • However, this is not done in the most intuitive or user-friendly manner. This causes frustration at times.
    • Overall, a single centralized system for managing customer inquiries and requests is paramount for any mid-size business, particularly if this business is service-based
