Hornbill
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.

It is best for handling daily incidents and change records in the organization. And also provide features like which incident will have higher priority, and which have less and on the basis of that developer do their daily activities to resolve them. It also helps in managing our compliance change logs, which help the compliance team.

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.

The main reason for choosing Symphony Summit is the customization. We wanted to have a separate tool for our business unit. Compared to ServiceNow, which requires a license to approve a request, Symphony does not require a license. In addition, it is much easier to customize and scale.

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
