    I would suggest that in this product class, you get what you pay for. Although it is was sold as SAAS with a nearly 'plug and play' implementation, at least one full time highly trained admin is needed for ongoing support. I would advise a team implementation strategy.

    If your budget is really tight, then JitBit is not for you. It's kind of pricey. That said, JitBit HelpDesk is very robust--we've never had one second of downtime in my two years of using it. It depends on what's important to you. If you need rock-solid Help Desk and stellar, trouble-free performance, then JitBit it. If not, there are alternatives that are much less expensive. The cloud version might be less expensive for companies that don't need an on-premise solution.

    • Fantastic ticketing system to keep track of old conversations from clients.
    • Fantastic analytics and metric tracking.
    • Fantastic for sharing relationships with a customer. Generally, this would be a salesperson sharing an onboarding with a support person, but I think you could get creative with it. JitBit is very flexible.
    • Super easy to learn and use. If you can use your email, you can use JitBit.

    IFS
    • Service requests, incident, problem, and change management
    • Knowledge mgmt is not-existent - the product uses a WIKI for it's own knowledge base.
    • Axios help desk does is not knowledgable and does not follow up on reported incidents
    • Training is incomplete - no real resources available except billable by the hour.

    At this point, we are stuck with it. We can't afford a change at this point.

    Axios assyst outperforms JIRA in every aspect, JIRA is a good job system but when it comes to complex processes and configuration management then JIRA is simply not the right system.

    JitBit just had the feature set at the cost point we were willing to spend. Nothing against the other products, but this one just fit our model better.

    • JitBit has neither had a positive nor a negative effect on our ROI. The reason is that we had to have a Help Desk solution that is secure and well-supported.
    • JitBit does cost real money. The least expensive on-premise option is $1,699, which might have a negative impact on your budget, but I'd have to say that it's worth it--at least for us.
    • Trouble-free, practically maintenance-free, Help Desk software has a positive impact on our technician time spent on it.
