We use Autotask across our entire organization, as well as require our clients to use Autotask to submit their work requests. This work management tool provides us a way to link our active contracts and employee time to the work requests to ensure we get paid for the work we do.
  • Simple web based interface for a variety of users, which makes it easier for our clients to use.
  • Variety of canned reporting.
  • Service Desk users have many options for organizing and documenting their workload.
Cons
  • Live reports are difficult to create and use.
  • Creating new projects and adding resources is time consuming, even with templates.
  • Would like to see one URL for time sheets and the client access portal.
Autotask is a great fit for IT and business services industries. Implementation was fairly painless thanks to a good project management assistant at Autotask.

Datto is the BEST!

We are always looking for ways for our techs to hit their SLA and a program that will allow us to track and ticket makes things so much easier to record. Customer service is a big deal to us and it's extremely important that we do what we promise with our IT Help Desk.
  • Integration
  • They have an app.
  • Centralizes our operations.
Cons
  • The interface could be better.
  • Would be nice to have a button where you could hover the mouse over to expand the ticket instead of opening it entirely.
  • Time consuming to add resources.
Datto is great when you have several departments that do not necessarily always communicate well because you can go into separate files and put them together. Being able to accurately bill our clients is extremely helpful too. It helps us to achieve better insight into the project and profitability. If you are pounding out tickets, it can be a little clunky and if you have entry-level help desk pros, it could end up being chaotic because it's not really user-friendly.

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.

Tasks Automatized!

The company I worked with was an MSP, we used Autotask to assist with managing client requests. Whether it's from a support side, consulting, projects or general information utilizing Autotask is one of the better programs that I've used in the past.

I'm not going to outline other products unless asked, however one key feature which was most beneficial from a management perspective was the real time graphical interface to see who worked on what ticket and the last time it was addressed including how long it was open for. This was extremely helpful for reports come end of the month.
  • The graphical calculations on time spent on requests, how long they were open for, who worked on a ticket last.
  • Grouping by priority so you can determine easier what needs to be addressed sooner rather then later. This also helps if Account Management has conversations a technician is not aware of so they can prioritize efficiently.
  • The email updates that are sent out to the technicians so they are aware of upcoming or stale tickets.
Cons
  • The documentation or "Notes" needs work. I have been exporting other options for an internal database of passwords, IP's, etc however this information can be a hassle to obtain with the current layout.
  • Searching is a huge utility in this industry, I'd like to be able to open a company "notes" or page and search for a specific server, account number, IP, etc however this is lacking which in turn takes time to drill down the listed categories.
Autotask is a great program for overall time management for anyone in an organization. It helps to determine where most of your time is spent, also for accounting and account management when reviewing client contracts. It's also extremely beneficial to keep requests/tickets on your radar, it's very easy on a day to day basics to have things fall through the cracks. Once a request is generated it must be followed through and closed with specific details. This ensures who worked on it last, what was completed and client confirmation.

AutoTask is used by almost our entire office. The technicians use it to create support tickets, store information of client networks, and to track the time worked. The executive part of the office uses AutoTask to bill our clients for the time the technician put in for working on the issue at hand.
  • The search feature is very convenient. I like how you can search by client, ticket, asset, contact name, etc.
  • I like the interface of AutoTask. It's clean and easy to navigate through for users to find what they need.
  • These are strengths of AutoTask because when a company looks for a product similar to this they want something that is easy for them to use, and not going to have to call support at any time.
Cons
  • When entering time, sometimes you won't be able to enter the time and have to refresh the page, when you do so you lose the time you had running.
  • When creating a ticket it always asks you "do you want to close this window?" Obviously I do if i just created the ticket. Please remove that.
  • Asset's should have more options and even an option to type in the Asset Type by yourself.
