    Smaller companies (less than 30 employees) and where their isn't recurring services. It's great for one-time service providers.

    • Its ability to switch between tickets, assets, etc., is a little clunky. A static menu bar would be helpful.
    • The ability to see the latest update in the ticket view.

    It is much easier to adopt than other FSMs we have tried. While easy to adopt, it is robust and powerful. We were up and running in a matter of days, not weeks.

    Knowify has job costing but lacks the ability to invoice in the field and requires more work from [the] office staff.

    When looking for solutions for our business, I personally looked at Aautotask. I am not the decision maker so I don't know what my boss looked at in full. Autotask seems good. It looked like it got a bit complicated and may be for very large enterprise customers. Just lots of features that we don't need.

    • As a single freelance consultant Sherpadesk has exceptional ROI because it's free but if my company had more support people I would definetly go with SherpaDesk again.
