We currently use TOPdesk for the calls at IT/IM, and our wish is to expand this. We will use TOPdesk so that our employees have one place where they can go with all their questions.
- Comes up with suggestions when creating an incident
- Being able to follow your incident
- One portal for all your questions
- As far as we are concerned, the scrum board needs attention. It is not possible to add documents, and tacs.

Top Shelf Product With A Great Support Team
We have been using TopDesk for just over 1 year and it has been a great product. Head and shoulders above other products in its field. With the help of the TopDesk support team, we were able to replace our previous ticketing system with this product and it has worked very well. We have not run into any issues that could not be resolved with a quick phone call to the support team. Thank you to Lovlyn and all the others who helped us to get this program running exactly how we wanted it. It is a top-shelf product, with an excellent support and implementation team.
- Easy for end users.
- Detailed audit reporting on tickets.
- Great support team.
- Great implementation team.
- We use SSRS for producing reports as the built in reporting system is not quite as granular as our admin team wanted.
We use Topdesk to track and trace incidents for all our end-users, they are spread over multiple organizations. Also, our IT contacts can track all the incidents we work on for their end-users. In this way, they have the opportunity to stay up-to-date all the time if they want and like to. Every month we send out incident reports created by Topdesk.
- Automatically reads designated mail folder and creates incidents from this; this function is saving us a lot of time entering incidents. In this way, we can respond much quicker to incident calls.
- Escalation of incidents. We use this a lot, because we don't want our servicedesk to be occupied with stuff they cannot solve in a fashionable time. In this way customers are getting the correct response much quicker.
- Report engine. Creating reports is really nice and you can make them the way you want them. This gives us the flexibility to create reports with all the necessary information for our customers.
- Give best practice tips when designing your Topdesk environment, in this way you won't run into discussions with a Topdesk consultant about the way you run things!
- Make it easier to design some work forms for jobs you do for customers and let them sign off.
- Get more functionality available as an add-on, there are examples where you need to buy enterprise license just to get a hold on some of those features.
TOPdesk is currently used as an IT support and ticketing system for all of our schools, school support offices, and the main board office. We started using TOPdesk about 3 years ago. TOPdesk has made a huge improvement in how we manage support and communicate with our staff. We have a dedicated support desk that manages all staff tickets through TOPdesk. Tickets are then assigned to the appropriate operator or group. This ensures tickets are handled correctly and efficiently.
- Managing the support flow
- Ticket notifications and communication
- Flexibility for organization planning
- Top-notch support
- Could use better tutorials or a reference for more complex change requests
- Had some trouble with the API slowing down the SaaS server--too many hits

TOPdesk Review -- 10 years of TOPdesk
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.

TOPdesk: Best in its class
We are slowly using TOPdesk across our organization. We've begun with 6-7 departments initially, and as the other departments' ticket system licenses begin to expire, the idea would be to transition them to TOPdesk.
TOPdesk is fulfilling a number of needs within our organization. First, TOPdesk gives us a centralized "help" location within our company so our employees can have a "one-stop shop" for all of their support needs. Secondly, TOPdesk is providing a centralized knowledge base for our departments and specific products for our employees. Lastly, TOPdesk offers an array of modules that many departments can utilize and share information or assets via.

- Large knowledge base repository that is searchable from basically anywhere, offers suggestions to the users, and can support images and gifs.
- Interdepartmental workflows--tasks can start in one department but end up triggering activities in tasks for other departments (employee on-boarding, for instance)
- Because there is so much functionality built in, the UI can look a little clunky for the operators.

TOPdesk is the only way to go!
We use TOPdesk across our organization. It started with just our IT department using it and the word quickly spread about its cost-effectiveness and ease of use. Now AR, AP, HR, CRM are all using it. All of these departments service all 10K associates. Before TOPdesk all of these departments were working out of their email boxes. This has streamlined all of it.
- Implementation was super easy and they trained us during this time. We were totally self-sufficient after implementation, meaning we could configure the system without calling TOPdesk for help.
- The Self Service Portal is my favorite part. We have tried to push adoption of a SSP in the past but until TOPdesk, it never took off. It is so user friendly associates would rather use it then call our help desk.
- You can only drill down to 2 categories. I would like 3.

TOPdesk provides top shelf functionality and value
TOPdesk is used primarily for IT incident management and change request management. We also use if for some finance functions, including processing requests for new and changed vendors. On the applications side, it forms the core of our SAP change management function, including formal change control processes, audit support, prioritization, and resource management.
- Change management - Detailed activity management with workflow.
- Incident management - Simple, user-friendly interface, multiple pathways.
- More functionality around resolution codes and status.
- Ability to switch from simple to complex changes more easily.
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.

TOPdesk is just the way to go in the current IT Environment!
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.
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.
We use TOPdesk to track issues in engineering and information technologies. It is used to track the hiring process for human resources and information technologies. Is used to track information on vehicles. It is also used in conjunction with project management.
- The tracking of issues is excellent.
- Data entry is fast and logical.
- Time tracking is very good.
- It desperately needs the ability to search multiple categories at the same time.
- The export tool is very weak and complicated.
- The ability to edit self-service forms if they are incorrect would be very nice.

TOPdesk is the first thing I open in the morning...so it's on the top of my list on my desktop.
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.
- 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.

TOPdesk: a movement of service.
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.

Museum multi-department TOPdesk review
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

Already for 10 years a happy topdesker
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

Easy to implement and a great product!
We use TOPdesk across the whole school district for all IT-related issues and questions. We were using an older IT ticket system that neither our users nor IT employees liked. When researching ticket solutions TOPdesk was a no-brainer. TOPdesk has a great web self-service portal for our users that is easy, customizable, and with a useful knowledge base. On the back end, TOPdesk is simple and effective for our IT employees' daily work.
- Easy and simple self-service portal
- Great automation for workflows, tickets, change management, etc.
- User sync with Azure AD

TOPdesk is a good product, especially when starting out.
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.

TOPDesk - The right tool to get the job done
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.
- 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.

TOPdesk as single tool to service the organization!
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

Introducing TOPdesk in a sales environment
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)
- Reporting / Dashboards: There is still demand for reporting detailed lists of data. Also there is a growing demand for combining data from multiple entities and/or multiple systems (the last I understand this is out of scope of a system). Last, the output shows quite basic.
- 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.......
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.

TopDesk! Can't imagine my work space without it!
It's a great way to manage incidents and changes. Also, a great product to keep track of a CMDB which makes it all very organized.
- Very well organized for incident and change management
- Great way to manage a CMDB
- It's a bit hard to find all the features if you're an admin and new to the product. Could be a little bit more specific

Great features and usability
TOPdesk is used by the entire organization to record, manage, and track incidents. It is used internally for (e.g.) IT and Facility Management, but we also record all questions and incidents from citizens. TOPdesk lets us track every call from start to end and lets us easily collaborate across all departments.
- It is very easy to use. Explaining it to a new user takes 15 minutes at most.
- The great API features make integrating other applications a piece of cake.
- Modular build, and easily customizable, so you only see what you use.
- Fast and reliable.
- Its mobile usability could be better. Simple features are missing, like adding photos to an existing call.
- The self-service portal should be a little bit more customizable.
