Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
We utilize the SolarWinds Web Help Desk both internally within our organization and we support "outside" entities that utilize our Public Safety Application and/or hardware. We tried out a demo and the product and decided to make it permanent in our environment. We use this track for re-occurring issues, as a knowledge base, and to measure the performance of our service. This has been a very valuable tool for our organization.
We use SolarWinds Web Help Desk (WHD) as our ticketing system for IT Helpdesk at the college. It addresses any and all technical issues and account creation requests through the college systems. End users who have issues can send in an email and leave a voice message and those are created into tickets. Use can also log into SolarWinds Web Help Desk and manually create their own ticket.

Solid held desk offering with some shortcomings
We are utilizing SolarWinds Web Help Desk (WHD) across our entire organization as a centralized help desk platform for IT support, EMR support, data analytics support, and even for requests to our facilities and supply departments. SolarWinds Web Help Desk (WHD) helps address our ability to communicate with a large user base on virtually any technical support or assistance issues that our staff needs. It also allows for a centralized tracking database on the performance and customer service metrics for my IT staff.
As a SolarWinds Reseller and user, we often need to avail ourselves of their tech assistance. They have always been fast and responsive in helping us solve our tech issues. However, since the backup software is so easy to use and incredibly reliable it is a rare opportunity for us to interact with Support. However, when we do need them, they are very responsive and provide great follow-up. We recommend SolarWinds very highly.

No-frills help desk ticketing system
Our university uses Solarwinds Web help Desk as our primary ticketing system for students, faculty, and staff. It helps delegate tasks automatically to the appropriate techs within the information systems department. We also have it connected to our mobile device management system which allows asset information to be added to each ticket automatically if a user has a system enrolled.

SolarWinds Web Help Desk is an adequate solution, but there are better options out there.
SolarWinds Web Help Desk (WHD) is utilized by the IT department to manage work orders and trouble tickets. The tickets are generated via email from the end users, or manually by the technician. This allows us to monitor the time and resources it takes to support our organization and also provides us with a central managing point for data regarding work orders or trouble tickets.

Good Product That Requires Tailoring
SolarWinds Web Help Desk used to be used as the organization's ticketing system. It was being used by all IT staff. It was implemented in order to provide an environment for us to launch our CCF initiative.

District Approved
SolarWinds Web Help Desk was used by all district staff to open and track the status on technology related request. Our technical support staff used the system to update their tickets, track trends, create an FAQ database to assist teachers with some initial troubleshooting, notify the district of a outage or maintenance. We also used it track district inventory on all district owned equipment, this included of over 5000 student iPads and chargers.

Web Help Desk is a boon to IT management and Asset Compliance
I used SolarWinds Web Help Desk at my old district. When I moved to my new position and saw the ticket system in place and our lack of inventory management I knew that implementation of SolarWinds Web Help Desk at my new job was going to be a huge boon. Not only has it simplified ticket responses but has allowed for robust inventory tracking. Integration with Active Directory has been a huge plus as well as planned SCCM integration for our inventory. Current implementation is only for our IT department but planned expansion to HR and operations is on-going as the benefits of a single platform and communication have already been readily seen.

Web Help Desk Will Help Your I.T. Staff Be The Most Popular People In Your Organization
We deployed SolarWinds Web Help Desk in a school district for use by teachers and administrators to report issues with technology in our district. The Tech Department (6 people) access the technician side, while just about 800 teachers and administration staff access the client portion of the system. The only people who do not have access to put in tickets are the students - they have to ask teachers to report the issues directly to us. It really helps get a handle on what issues are occurring, the frequency with which they occur, and which people we can count on to give us the best information.

SolarWinds Web Help Desk is a Great Tool!
We initially began using the product strictly to manage our hardware assets. We were dissatisfied with the ticketing system we were using so we began evaluating the ticket module in SolarWinds Web Help Desk. We started with one small team and have expanded its use to our IT Help Desk and HR representatives. The solution works well in both environments.
