AutoTask [AT] is being used by all employees of the company. I personally create the tabs needed for different departments or specific to a position. The flexibility to create widgets needed is great, though I feel more options should be made available. The new AT and dashboards have been great for productivity and to assist me with the QA portion of my responsibilities.
  • Increases productivity and ticket management by help desk engineers
  • It greatly helps with the QA portion of my job due to new dashboards and ability to create widgets
  • Timesheets are better manageable
Cons
  • Different layouts for widgets
  • Widget refresh after "max" data has been reached - set as "last 30 days" or more
  • More SLA options

Autotask for the win!

We used autotask for billing, project management of our web design department and our IT support staff. The nice part is everything is in one platform rather than multiple which makes life much easier. The support staff was always super kind if I needed help with something. The interface was also super easy to learn which made it easy to train new people.
  • Billing on work completed
  • Organization
  • Business contact management
Cons
  • Number of clicks to do something
  • Invoicing
  • Reporting
This is great for project management - sometimes support has issues because it's not designed for that as much. I would recommend this to anyone that has a project manager with multiple employees. For support help desks this becomes confusing when some things are billable and somethings aren't.

Autotask is Autotastic!

We started using Autotask for help desk ticket and billing purposes. We are a small managed services company in the Pittsburgh, PA area and needed a solution for our business. Autotask was great for automating our interaction with customers and helping us stay organized with all facets of our communication with them. Autotask may not be as aesthetically pleasing as some of the competition but it comes with some robust features.
  • Manages "support ticket to billing" aspects extremely well.
  • Simple interface that isn't too flashy for its own good.
  • Integrates extremely well with email systems.
  • Extremely robust feature set.
Cons
  • Isn't the most updated, design wise.
  • Limited revenue and cost reporting.
  • Limited security options.
Autotask is extremely well suited for a managed services model business. That being said, this software is also well suited for an internal IT department (larger than 15 or more) and other niche business that may benefit. The strongest assets of this software benefit - Project Management, IT Support, IT Billing, Reporting, and Support Organization.

When I used Autotask, it was being used as the primary Service Desk ticketing system for a number of accounts (i.e. external customers) that my organization provided IT services for. It would track incidents and service requests in a cradle-to-grave manner and was used by both direct Service Desk employees as well as customer IT staff.
  • Low 'Clicks-per-Action'
  • Easy to Understand (without Training)
  • Advanced Search Capabilities
  • Easy Account Management
  • Conducive to Multi-Tasking
Cons
  • No Support for Multi-Tenancy (Multiple External Customers)
  • Very Basic User Portal
As a ticketing system for a Service Desk, Autotask does everything it does very well. The only glaring shortcoming is the lack of support for multi-tenancy while still granting those 'tenants' access to their data. For example: Customer 1 and Customer 2 are supported out of the same Autotask instance. If they were granted access to see their own tickets, they would also see each other's tickets. Where Autotask truly excels is the user (meaning Service Desk Agent or other staff) experience.

Autotask is automation perfected.

Autotask has been implemented throughout our entire organization from Procurement to Service desk and through to Admin and HR.

Having a single platform to track all tasks throughout our organization has been invaluable in reducing turn-around times for both client communication and on-boarding improving client relations from day one.

Autotask has also been implemented for internal use for new employee on-boarding allowing us to make sure that everything is set up for the employee to hit the ground running.

  • With a recent update, Autotask introduced ticket checklists which greatly reduced errors with support, it has also reduced the number of unnecessary ticket transfers as a ticket cannot be transferred unless all the checklist items have been completed.
  • Autotask has an excellent reporting system built in with automated sending and customisability
  • Autotask allows for automated client communications with a wealth of customizable templates.
  • Autosk has excellent integration options with a number of third-party applications.
Cons
  • Ease of use can be improved as the admin section can be daunting to a first time user.
  • Setting up custom reports or client comms templated can be a time-consuming process.
  • The Autotask Knowledgebase can use some improvement.
Autotask is perfectly suited for a remote support based environment where client communications and timely support is paramount.

As Autotask has auto-fire notifications we can notify our support technicians when they are close to breaching SLA or have been idle on a ticket for too long ensuring that clients are always updated.
