    TOPdesk
    It is an easy-to-use platform with a lot of capabilities. We use it for knowledge databases and it makes my work as Application Owner way easier and faster. It also provides a clear view of the issues running in our organization. We can clearly see where our colleagues are having problems. It also provides a clear view of my support tickets. Also, the reporting tools and the asset management are very nice.

    We work with a lot of cross functional teams, so it is nice to have them review things on their own and provide feedback all in the one place for our team to review. It helps cut back on meetings and emails full of feedback that gets lost. This is especially helpful when we are working on our catalogs. We do reviews on Ziflow all the way from rough layouts to proofreading.

    Pros
    TOPdesk
    • TOPdesk's UI is pretty intuitive. Its often not needed to explain colleagues new functionalities as they are self-explaining.
    • TOPdesk is visually cleaner compared to interfaces of other ITSM tools
    • TOPdesk offers a lot of UI's that are easy to customize, like the home dashboard
    • TOPdesk support is really good. Once we notice we do not get an answer that works for us, the issue is escalated directly to a specialist on demand.

    • Simple and user friendly interface with little if no learning curve.
    • Accurate and specific change requests are especially enhanced when using the markup tools.
    • Nice to be able to assign who the decision maker is and also be able to change project participants easily, like when someone goes on holiday or sick leave.
    • SOCD (sent, opened, comment, decision) progress indicators provide an awesome 'at a glance' view of project participants activity.
    • Email notifications and integration with ASANA is brilliant.

    Cons
    TOPdesk
    • assigning rights is too extensive, making it very complex to manage this up to date.
    • Topdesk has gained so many features that it is difficult for a new user to become familiar with it.
    • action sequences remain tricky and certainly not for everyone to understand.

    • Comments with instances that span multiple pages force you to zoom out, which can be rough on multi-page proofs. We end up making a comment on each instance for ease of review.
    • Maybe it is in there, but I would love to be able to upload a new version and review/make comments before any of the other reviewers can see it—to double-check for errors. Maybe there is a verification stage first before releasing it to the other reviewers.

    If I could choose a new ticketing/asset/ITSM tool and a company I would definitely go with TOPdesk. I like the fact that the support team is also in Dutch and the pricing at the time we purchased it was very affordable. It had all the features we needed and since then the product has come a long way and has many built in out-of-box features that require much less config and setup time. However still very customizable so can be adapted to any customer/environment.

    Ziflow is easy to use, efficient and now is also part of our daily lives. Hence, the teams are already adapted to the tool and willing to work with it. The features are according to all what was expected and we had a great experience until the moment with the tool

    Usability
    TOPdesk
    In short, we've been able to remove many pain points, automate multiple things, and empowered the end-user by being able to manage more items via the Self Service Portal. We've been able to do more than we were able to do with our previous ITSM platform. The TOPdesk development team added some things recently that will allow us to make some other things more efficient.

    The tool is easy to use for digital oriented people. For the ones not used to this kind of environment, it could look a bit complicated at the beginning, but following the instructions and tutorials and performing it once makes you get a grip of it in just one use.

    Reliability and Availability

    Like I said somewhere else in this review: the helpdesk of TOPdesk is top of the bill! In the Netherlands, that is. I can not plea for the helpdesks in other countries, but I guess the TOPdesk organization will make sure the quality of the helpdesk is the same in every country.

    Performance
    TOPdesk
    Although being a SAAS solution, TOPdesk performs pretty fast. One can imagine that any SAAS solution is slow or has hiccups, but we have not experienced such with TOPdesk. Pages load quickly, logging in goes smoothly. We have made reports on premise in the past - that always took some time, as you might expect with such complex tasks. It seems that in the SAAS solution TOPdesk somehow has managed to make it even faster!

    TOPdesk
    Most if not nearly all questions are answered within the same or a few days. The helpdesk is very knowledgable about their product and are always willing to help. The only downside is that for more difficult questions it can take a while due to the experts being further removed from the helpdesk. But they are always willing to answer questions, even if they are not directly related to a problem with the service.

    The ZIflow support team has always been very responsive to my questions, issues and other problems. The good thing is I have never had to use their support team all that much because Ziflow has been for the most part trouble free. If it had been error prone, we would have dropped it long ago.

    In-Person Training
    TOPdesk
    We had Topdesk in-house here training staff for almost a month (2-3 hour meetings 3x a week.) It was invaluable and we were able to take that training and share with the rest of our IT staff. Once implemented we were able to fly from there. The challenges we found were in how to get started. Once started the knowledge base offered from Topdesk has been invaluable.

    It was a challenge to port over years of the same thing and we ended up keeping old ideas in Topdesk that we will eventually weed out as time passes and we learn how users view categories and flows of tickets. Planning is key but bear in mind that just because you used to do it this way doesn't mean you still have to

    Spiceworks is an easier-to-use Help Desk solution but it lacks all other features that Topdesk has. Freshdesk was just too much for our environment. It was cost-prohibitive for our intended use. TOPdesk fit our org size and budget better than the others.

    I found Ziflow to be much better than PageProof in several ways. The tools available for making comments and edits are more intuitive and there is a greater variety of tools and the version control features worked much better as well. Also their customer service was far better when it was necessary to interact with the company

    Return on Investment
    TOPdesk
    • A good number of incidents can solved more quickly. Those cases can be solved by the customer itself and in TOPdesk it is very easy to send the self-service-solution with your answer.
    • It is easier to report some things based on categorization and good search filtering
    • If there are two or more tickets, they are difficult (or impossible) to merge correctly. There is a merge function, but there is for example, only one client possible. A solution where you close one merged ticket and send separate emails to every single customer would be really nice!

    • Improved efficiency and time saved in making proofs and adding people to proofs with staging and template features.
    • Robust proofreading features for reviewers like comparing previous versions.
    • In my experience, customer service is quick to help with issues or outages (which aren't often).
