We use TOPdesk as our Incident Management system - every user within the NOS can reach our FrontOffice (helpdesk) via the TOPdesk Self-Service portal in addition to telephone and email.
With this portal, a malfunction can be reported, a request (hardware / software / access) can be submitted, a meeting room can be reserved, and a business gift can be requested.
Employment and disengagement procedures can also be started from this portal.
All these matters are resolved by our Front Office as First Line incidents, and otherwise pass on Second Line incidents to IT service management, facilities management and developers.
The Change Management module is used to handle request workflows, such as employment procedures, disengagement procedures, hardware, software, promotional gifts and access.
We use the module Operations Management the schedule our Operational Activities.
With the Reservations Management module, hardware such as cameras, special laptops, various broadcast equipment and meeting rooms can be reserved.
The Item Management module includes the articles that we offer through a kind of webshop on the Self-Service portal.
The Configuration Management module is used to register all objects such as hardware, software, licenses and telephones.
With the Knowledge Management module we keep track of our manuals, descriptions and work instructions. Relevant Knowledge Items are also displayed via the Self-Service portal as FAQs and items that indicate which services and production we offer.
The Action Management module is used for triggers for sending emails or setting statuses.
TOPdesk mobile is used by, among others, cleaning and janitor to view and log off their tasks.
We use a different instance of TOPdesk for our Public relations department. In it, reactions, complaints, suggestions and questions from the public are registered and handled as incidents.
- The clear distinction in terms of modules and their functions, but you can easily link the different parts together.
- Users are involved in the TOPdesk product. Much attention to customer wishes. Free webinars about new developments or the exploration of certain parts.
- Easy to link to third-party applications.
- Every version that has been released has been thoroughly tested and therefore there are few bugs in production.
- Linking TOPdesk environment of customers and / or suppliers (Collaboration Center).
- Due to the many functionalities of the modules, you sometimes [do] not see the wood for the trees. With Asset Management they are taking a step in the right direction.

We use TOPdesk in several departments for the registration and follow up of incidents, changes, problems and operational tasks at customer sites. We are a managed service provider (servers, network, retail, cloud and security). Customers (and monitoring tools) report calls through telephone, mail, mail import, API connections to other service management apps and portal functionality.
- They are making good progress in developing API's for communication with other apps which is becoming more and more important. Also the development of a collaboration platform for easy connecting to other/customer (TOPdesk) systems is a positive move.
- In our company we will build a extensive API configuration to communicate with MS Dynamics and we already have several connections with customers that gives a better user experience.
- The events and actions module gives extra power to the system to overcome some limitations or automate manual actions.
- We use this option for a lot of different activities. One is for a notification when a certificate or application license is almost expired but there are a lot more applications for this function.
- Technical support department performs nicely and in a professional way.
- Room for improvement is in workflows and in mandatory fields based on where you are in a proces. E.g. when closing an incident you have to be forced to check if you made the right decisions at registration time. Also skipping statuses is possible but not wanted.
- On several places it would helpful if you could make more field dependent on what you chose in a earlier field. E.g. in the new asset management templates showing only the models of the brand you choose. Also a third level under category/subcategory is needed.

TOPdesk is used within Fujifilm in two areas. First, it is used as a ticketing system for our European Logistics, logging all mistakes, questions, problems that appear during the distribution from our Central Warehouse, and our 5 hub warehouses to our customers in Europe. Second, it is used as a ticketing system for our shared service organization, located in Gdansk, to register all issues and questions between them and the finance departments in the different local entities in Europe.
- TOPdesk is simple to use for the creators of a ticket by the Self Service Portal
- The input forms are easy to design and have not much possibility for fancy stuff. Therefore they keep it simple and it can easily be created and designed.
- Process Flows can easily be modeled in TOPdesk by internal administrators.
- By defining user groups and assigning specific operators or callers, the business process can quickly be created. For more complicated workflows there is a so-called Change Management Module. For designing process flows for this module training is recommended.
- TOPdesk provides raw data reports that can be handled in Excel.
- Pivot tables in Excel let you easily be in control of reports.
- For application in the Scrum of Agile job assignment processes, TOPdesk offers the so-called Kanban board, which is very useful to show the overall status of tasks to be done.
- Modeling more complicated workflows is difficult and could need the support of a consultant
- Graphical output of Topdesk is very limited. Users mainly will rely on Excel as reporting tool, except for some basic graphs that are provided in your dashboard by Topdesk itself.

We use TOPdesk within different parts of the organization: IT, reception, planning, CRM.
It's mainly used as a helpdesk tool in which colleagues can address problems/questions/whatever. Besides that, the meetingplanner is a very powerful tool which prevents people to book meetingrooms which are already given.
Once every 3 months we use the possibility of making an overview of incoming calls, which come with ratings of how much time is spent on each call and which sort of call is being made most frequently.

- Making forms of standard routines.
- Making overviews of activities made.
- Integration with intranet (you have to set up that yourself though).
- In the SAAS version the most usual Windows shortcuts don't work.
- Using the TAB-key doesn't always work as you'd expect.
- TOPdesk is not quite pro-active in advising/schooling in different not-so-many used modules.
- no training
Yes - The upgrade from 'on premise' to the new SAAS solution went quite smoothly. Not in the least because we had the help and use of a professional TOPdesk consultant who ticked all the boxes that had to be ticked - from designing how your TOPdesk should look like and what it could do, to (sort of) training the admins.

Currently it is used at the IT department to register tickets/issues/changes and to register hardware. It is also being used by our security department to register keys. We would like to expand the use for our facility department. We are currently using the on premise software.
- [Register] incidents.
- Logging.
- [Register] products.
- It would be nice if the status of a product can automatically change when they are registered to a product.
- More layout options in ssp.
TOPdesk helps our Managed Services department with delivering proper services to our customers. We keep track of our contracts, tickets changes, our own assets, etc. Provides us with SLA reports. And we can correlate with other TOPdesk using companies and services to provide a smooth integration with our ITSM-tooling.
- Collaboration.
- Intuitive use.
- Filtering to keep track of things.
- Collaboration could be a bit smoother.
- Some things are a lot of work to maintain (mails in the action module).

We are an ICT cooperation that supports 6 local governments and local government cooperation. We use TOPdesk as the primary tool for all our workloads using ITIL standards. All colleges are able to log in to the Self-Service Desk and access the knowledge base, make an incident call, or ask for a change through various forms. All incidents will be handled by our ICT department or functional engineers within the government. Due to the use of forms on the Self-Service Desk page, we can direct all questions, incidents, and changes to the right support group of the Service Desk. In our case, the Service Desk can focus on the telephone and solving problems instead of rerouting service calls. The knowledgebase is updated weekly with manuals for end-users or ICT colleges. We made sure that the 2 are separated, even between operators.
- Software updates as a standard change for all steps to be taken
- All employee changes between multiple organizations managed in 1 change
- One place for all your questions
- Reports about changes and incidents in one view
- Easy report wizard for people who don't use TOPdesk daily
- Bulk changes for IT hardware
July 31, 2020
We use TOPdesk for incident, change and asset management internally and also for our B2B customer base. It gives us a central location to manage our global customer's issues and needs, and provides a simple way to delegate and track workflow. Additionally, the data we are able to report on allows us to pinpoint areas of improvement.
- Versatility. The ability to customize the interface.
- The ability to customize workflows for Incident and Change management is the best I have seen.
- The ability to segregate customer groups and manage them in one instance of TOPdesk is great.
- Would love to see stronger Self Service functionality, such as AI.
- Would like to see TOPdesk further embrace customer management of the platform.
- This is a bit more subjective: The interface continues to improve, but I would like to see it be a bit more intuitive.
July 29, 2020
TOPdesk is used almost across the whole organization. But also our customers have access to it. TOPdesk is used by customers and our internal user for filing incidents and changes. We also hope to implement the project management and change control modules in the near future.
- It creates a very plain system wich is easy to understand for the employees.
- The amount of features within TOPdesk makes the sky unlimited. It is so advance that there simply isn't a "no" when you want something done in TOPdesk.
- On the management side, it's pretty hard to find and edit specific items if you don't know where to find it. It could be a bit more organized and easy for people who have to manage TOPdesk in their environment.
TOPdesk is used by several departments: IT, Facility Management and Quality Management. The top users are the IT employees. The rest of the organization is well known with the SelfServiceDesk to submit incidents or changes and to track the status of their requests. It helps to centralize the support questions (IT, Facility Management ) and accident registration (Quality Management) from the entire organization. The CMDB is leading for the purchased hardware (varying from SIM-cards to beamers etc.) and to keep track of it.
- The interface is well designed and through the years this has only improved.
- Reasonably easy to customize for your own needs. The management of the application is not too complex.
- Good and professional support from the TOPdesk support team.
- I would like to see more functionality for TOPDesk reports. It is not possible to create a complete report with several indicators from different categories. It would be great if I just could combine everything into one big management report which I could send monthly (automatically).
- Splitting the use for different departments in one TOPdesk environment is quite difficult. There are possibilities, but there can easily be cross contamination.
- The SelfServiceDesk is quite basic (but functional). It would be great if you could enrich these with widgets to retrieve realtime information from your environment (like specific uptime or live service status from business applications).
[It's] Used by the whole organization. It addresses any ticketing management needs to maintain records and IT/Web/GIS/Design communications with staff.
- Workflow Managments and uptime.
- Easily create forms for any new self service desk. Fast implementation of new workflows.
- Creating new users and archiving old users.
- Customizing more complicated workflow with different external teams.
- More options in creating more elaborate forms, adding pictures for example.
- more integration options for Azure, we currently cannot integrate fully with azure and manually upload everytime we create a new user.
- no training
It is being used by various departments across our organization mainly as a ticketing system.
- An employee is able to enter an IT problem or communication request in TopDesk.
- IT then receives the ticket and services it appropriately.
- We looked at using it as a project management system but found that it was more cumbersome for the novice user than some other systems that we looked at.
July 28, 2020
We use it as our main ticketing system across the company. We used to use it with a previous company we owned. Tickets are either emailed to TOPdesk and a ticket is created automatically, or we manually create them. We also use it for our Change management approval process as well.
- The ability to customize it.
- Ability to access anywhere there is an internet connection.
- Cost.
- Support is really good. I had an issue where tickets were deleted and they were able to restore our company to a test envoirment so I could re-create them at no cost.
- Maybe a little easier to customize.
- Fix the Canadian phone support number. I called a few times and it just rings and rings.
- Be able to drag and drop a pic into the comment area while updating a ticket.
- Emailing us if it's down versus us calling support or checking their status page.
- no training
August 12, 2020
We have been using TOPdesk for many years. And especially the new version is really appreciated. The whole organization is using it. We register our calls at the ServiceDesk and track the progress of the solution. The report tool is powerful and helps with reporting for our clients. The self-service tool became available a while ago. We will see if it works.
- User-friendly graphical interface
- Good reporting tool
- Possibility to build a knowledge base for FAQ
- We are not using all of the modules, so I would like to be careful with comments. Maybe some functions are available in other modules
- CSM functionality
- in-person training
August 05, 2020
It's used by a department. It's used for incident management for our external customers for incidents in the industry related to software, process, and hardware.
- Fast to address incidents, reported by telephone
- Fast tool to get information about customers
- Modular, so we started with only incident management, but now we have change management, operations management, and object management
- Fast replies of questions.
- In the SSP it is not possible for our customers to get an export of their own incidents in, for example, Excel.
- Email notification of incidents in the organization, For example, to client managers at our site and customer site.
- Integration with other tools like Power BI, report manager.
- no training
Yes - Very smoothly, no problems occured, didn't need the support of TOPdesk
July 29, 2020
TOPdesk is used in a mix of 3 (totally different) departments in our organization, it's caught incidents, requests, and informational items. The total number of engineers is about 20 at this time. The ease of use is a big plus for our organization, and that it is available in the Dutch language.
- Feedback to the employee is very flexible
- Ease of use
- SAAS application, available anywhere, anytime
- Way of editing feedback email is in HTML, what can be a pain to edit for some
We are using TOPdesk to service our customers and manage our devices.
- managing incidents
- hardware configuration
- self service portal
- Mobile apps where you can sign a signature by the customer.
- Online training

The ECNO Shared Technology Services team uses TOPdesk as a one-stop ticket management and queue system for both our internal processes via Change Management, and for our external clients at 33 different school boards to enter support requests for our products and services. It provides both real-time monitoring of our current support requests shared between a team of 3 remote technicians, and allows historical data to be stored and accessed by both our clients and internal teams.
- TOPdesk provides easy to customize reports based on user or organization designed selections, allowing the data stored inside the helpdesk solution to be extracted, analyzed, and acted upon. Using simple visual queries, any user is able to build data extracts on the fly
- Importation of data is easy to arrange and insert into the system. From existing support requests to a customer knowledge database, the data can be imported once, or as part of a constantly updating system for user changes, asset management, or user-facing data.
- The ability to reply to emails to update tickets, both as the person making the support request and as the person working on the support request, makes it much easier to keep everyone informed as to the progress of the tickets and the eventual resolution.
- The initial setup curve is very high, with it being strongly recommended that you involve the company in the design and setup phases to be able to get the most out of the program. The complexity of the setup is more than offset by the functionality of the product.
November 02, 2020
We are using TOPdesk in various parts of the organization, both as an Incident Management tool as well as CMDB. TOPdesk is used by corporate IT as well as specific engineering and professional services departments. It allows us to keep track of internal IT related incidents and IT inventory that is present.
- Gives a clear, configurable overview of open incidents.
- Has an easy-to-use self-service facility.
- Ability to create KPI based reporting.
- Azure SSO connector is cumbersome to configure.
- Office365 mail import configuration requires way too much permissions on your mail environment.
- UX can be improved.
October 02, 2020
We use TOPdesk to register and manage customer issues, questions and requests. It is also used to keep a registration of customer hardware (CMDB) and service contracts and to provide our customers with an up-to-date overview of their repairs and hardware.
- Registration and management of 1st/2nd line incidents.
- Asset management.
- Customized and automated emails.
- Mobile access (the functionality is limited).
- Reporting.
August 24, 2020
We use TOPdesk within our organization to register and follow up on issues that users have with the various other systems that are used. It is very useful to track each issue and communicate with users without the hassle of sending/reading separate emails. Users can also use the self-service desk to see what the status of the issues is, without the need to check with someone within our department.
- Very easy to use, it's rather self-explanatory.
- Default it offers a lot of functionalities, like Plan Boards, Task Boards, Time Registration, Knowledge Management, Contract Management etc. and one can choose to use it (or not to use it, if it's not needed).
- Very configurable so that you can set up your organizational needs very well.
- Easily differentiate between private and public remarks for internal / external communication.
- Can't name any real Cons for the system. There will always be some small improvements which would be nice to have, but in general, everyone should be able to get up and running in no time and reap the fruits of being able to track issues decently.
July 31, 2020
We started using TOPdesk to be able to meet SLA criteria for an ICT hardware and services contract with the Dutch government. We have defined multiple services, each with their related SLAs. Every customer interaction between the Dutch government and Bechtle-Buyitdirect is logged and processed in TOPdesk. SLA performance of the contract is reported on a weekly basis for each related service. Based on the positive results we currently expanding the use of TOPdesk within our public vertical. We mainly use TOPdesk to support the RMA process for a demanding set of our public customers.
- Easy to understand end-user interface (both internal as well as self service portal)
- Easy to configure / maintain
- Easy to add new developed features to your SAAS platform (marketplace)
- Easy import facility to do relative simple data imports for base entities
- Search for specific data in your recorded interactions (both internal as well as from the self service portal)
- Increasing workflow automation possibilities using APIs
- Using custom fields in your SSP web forms. Currently, every field you enter (despite some standard ones like objects, contact details, category, short description,...) is stored in the request field. This makes it difficult for further process this data using HTTP actions.
- Plugin to push planned tasks to outlook is difficult to setup. Take a look at Salesforce.......
- no training
We use TOPdesk as our primary system at the IT service center (department). We use it for everything we do and use it in combination with our customers.
- With the help of the topdesk, the projects, incidents and changes are billed to the customers
- At the moment we have an improvement that we first have to make that already is already offered by the topdesk in functionality but it lacks time and know how to further refine and fine-tune this.
July 31, 2020
We're using TOPdesk to field all of our trouble tickets across the organization. Multiple internal departments have found it useful to keep track of their support tickets.
- It's well priced
- Highly customizable
- Asset management needs a lot of work.
- Knowledge base is very bare bones.
July 28, 2020
We are using Topdesk as a service management tool to support the organization and to have one tool where the IT department can do all administrative work.
- Single source of data for administrative purposes
- Quick tickets are real time savers!
- Showing relations between objects.
- No WYSIWYG editor, real pain in the ass.
- Building configurations of different objects can consume relatively a lot of time
- Search engine can be optimized
