TOPdesk is the system where we put in service messages for other departments
  • It’s easy to use for every one
  • The information is up to date, you see the status of your question
  • The messages from the whole department is visble
We make a request, can chance it later and the other department can ask question, this way we don’t need to speak but you can register it in your own time.

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.
TOPdesk is well suited to any information technology department or organization that operates on a ticket based system. The tracking and management of workloads is excellent, and in fact, the system is appropriate for any organization that track work based on tickets.
Any appointment based system can be modeled inside TOPdesk using the appointment planning board, allowing managers to see the planned appointments of employees.

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. My department is using is to support customers and internal users, but also for planning and registering hardware. Currently, we have approximately 20 TOPdesk operators. For our customers, we also have planned reports for SLA reports.
  • Support by TOPdesk is excellent. Until now, we didn't have any issues when support was requested.
  • The latest version supports ADFS/SAML authentication. In the former version, this was an add-on you should buy.
  • Continues development of the product bearing in mind the user's input.
  • Copy and paste functionality of pictures.
  • Approval by "managers" of simple changes. Currently, only Extensive Change has this functionality.
  • Rich text formatting in Change Management module.
  • Rating of Changes, currently only a rating of an incident can be used.
Well suited for Incident Management!!! Less suited for: For Change Management (simples changes) we miss the functionality that a "Manager" can approve a change from within the Self Service Portal.

We use it daily for support requests and tracking technical challenges. It's a tool we use for asset management with API calls to Microsoft Intune, Google Admin for inventorying daily all Computer, Chromebook and iPad usage and information. We were in desperate need of a useful, secure Asset management software as well as a new helpdesk tool and this has been the best of both worlds. I was part of the team assessing the product and couldn't imagine daily work life with out it now.
  • Helpdesk Portal - One stop shop
  • Asset management - Asset's are assigned to persons in our org - east to track with timely info.
  • Knowledge base articles solve the problems sometimes before they can become helpdesk tickets.
  • I'd love to see location maps - Where are the assets? Tag assets to physical locations on a map.
This is the most complete software I've reviewed and we purchased that allows customization and growth but is stable and rock solid in regards to team support. I don't have anything bad to say about Topdesk. We've used it for over 4 years and not only can we measure where the work is, where support is needed but also team stats on where we can look at efficiencies in support.

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. Besides incident tracking we also use TOPdesk for problem and change management.
The Self Service portal provide our employees with a up to date knowledgebase and a quick way to create tickets and ask questions.
  • 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.
TOPdesk is well suited for IT, facility, and reservation and asset management. It doesn't matter how many users or incidents you need to register. It is less suited for complex asset management. Linking items, and building up an item from multiple other items is difficult. It lacks access control on the knowledgebase, which makes it unusable for the IT department.

We use TopDesk as our self serve portal for help desk support tickets to assist 30+ school boards within Ontario. We also use it for our Asset management, our assets consist of software.
  • Keeps our Assets organized
  • Email notifications
  • Ticket organization
  • It can be difficult to find settings or options
  • The GUI isn't very intuitive
TopDesk is excellent when you want to empower the users to potentially answer their questions or issues with the Knowledge Base or the Self Serve Portal. The cost makes it difficult to consider for smaller organizations that may not have the financial resources.

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 is well suited to managing internal and external incidents and changes. We have not run into a customer type who would not benefit from the functionality. The only potential issue would be cost. Perhaps the price is out of reach for smaller groups. The customization really goes a long way.

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!
  • Simple sequential workflows are very handy
  • Improved WYSIWYG editor, still not perfect
  • Complex flows are not always possible
  • Limited design options for knowledge items and the self service portal
Very usefull tool to support IT and its processes. For complex workflows ir processes your organization needs to fit in the framework that Topdesk provides.

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.
Incident management is excellent. It's less suited for modifications at the software site to get the interaction. Extern customers, instead of in-house.

We use it for logging incidents, questions, problems, and operational tasks. The departments that use TOPdesk are IT, central helpdesk, HR, Finance, Communications, Innovations, Healthcare administration, and some project groups. Except for the Facilities department, they use another application for their work called Wish. All healthcare personnel within our organization are authorized to use our self-service portal.
  • Service
  • Saas
  • Easy to manage
  • Innovation
  • Personalization
In our organization, we use another application for facilities management. This department does not think TOPdesk is suitable for their work. But TOPdesk is well suited for logging incidents for other departments.
We plan on merge the SSP with Wish, but the Facility backoffice will still use Wish for their work.

All members of the ICT and the facility service department use TOPdesk for administrating questions of users, follow up these questions and communicate the solution to this questions. Also as head of the ICT and facility service department, I can follow the performance of our departments. All reciprocal tasks are administrated, controlled and checked for execution by TOPdesk
  • Users have access to a very easy to use helpdesk system
  • Support desk employees have a full overview of all outstanding and open calls
  • As a manager, you have several tools to overview the performance of your department
  • TOPdesk is definitely not the cheapest helpdesk tool
  • TOPdesk is not a tool for building a complete document library
If you want a professional helpdesk tool, TOPdesk is definitely the right choice. If it has to be cheap, there are a lot of other choices, but definitely not as good as topdesk.

We are using TOPdesk as a replacement for an older ITSM platform, primarily in the IT department. We're using it primarily for incident management, change management, asset management, contract management, knowledge management, as well as a Self Service Portal. We're able to transform many of our paper form-based processes to digital versions, while also having MUCH better approval and request routing control than before.

A few of the big improvements that we've been able to make are:
- Digitally transforming the organization's employee off-boarding process from one of calling around two dozen offices to one of all needed departments being notified electronically.
- Allowing end-users to administer digital assets that would normally require contacting the IT Help Desk for servicing.
- Automating many requests to free up operators' time.
  • TOPdesk provides a clean and modern interface for all of its modules. Many of the modules have a similar look and feel, which makes it easy for users to utilize each one.
  • Its workflow system allows administrators and developers to define what needs to occur when certain events happen. This can ensure that processes happen in the correct sequence.
  • TOPdesk includes a vast API system to allow for external systems to integrate with it, and for TOPdesk to communicate with external systems.
  • For the forms that are available in the Self-Service Portal, a good improvement is to be able to validate user input so that it conforms to any required parameters. As of now, a request can be validated after submission via workflow, then rejected if needed.
  • A few of the modules do not have an accompanying API. This has made some integration and automation processes not possible.
  • Some customers may need to use an external process, such as Powershell or Python, to accomplish some automation needs.
I believe that TOPdesk is well-suited for environments that have more than maybe a handful of people. The licensing model is tier-based instead of per-user, per-operator, or per-account basis like some of the competing platforms. The licensing model and the cost have made it possible for us to accomplish things that we would not have been able to do on our previous "per-operator" model. I don't regard TOPdesk as being an ERP platform, so it can't do everything that an organization might need. In my opinion, it can get pretty close, provided there's sufficient executive buy-in at the organization.

TOPdesk is currently being used by our Facilities Operations and Project Management teams. It is helping us streamline operational and planning issues and giving us one platform to assist in maintaining project-related information for buildings, and then ongoing maintenance.
  • Ease of logging issues.
  • Each user can customize their view.
  • Target dates and time make it easy to sort.
  • Being able to sort on multiple columns (i.e. new work orders by target date).
  • Reporting is very complicated to create and export.
  • Getting this system to talk to other systems for information sharing continues to have disconnects.
The ability to see all work orders, whether assigned or not, is helpful. The ability for technicians to create work orders or transfer them between each other within a technician group is great. In some environments, the ability to move work orders between technician groups is a great feature. I think the reporting functionality needs significant improvement. I need to be able to extract data monthly and not continue to have reports that take 20 minutes to export because we are unable to pick our export information. One other thing we would like to see is email notifications enhanced so that as users respond to technicians, they get an email letting them know. We seem to have some issues with this notification.

We use TOPdesk to record all our incidents in the IT department. We also record who, what has hardware, and what problems there are with this.
  • Clear
  • Fast input
  • Mail import possible
  • Reporting options
TOPdesk has been a good choice for us to monitor our incidents. Too much knowledge was in the heads of individuals and therefore difficult to access. By sharing our knowledge via TOPdesk, we have a better overview of the ongoing problems on IT matters, but we also share knowledge. The number of incidents can also be measured and it is no longer just a feeling. Our hardware and faults on it are now also transparent and measurable. For us, TOPdesk is great

We use TOPdesk as the self-service portal for our employees. For instance, we use it for change management, incident management, and reservation management. With the implementation of TOPdesk, we are able to structure the workload for our application managers.
  • Service and self-service are top priorities for our business, TOPdesk fits perfectly with this
  • The modular structure of TOPdesk helps to set up the application to our wishes
  • The user interface is easy to understand for every employee
  • further development of the module Workplace reservation
  • The module New Asset management will eventually replace the module configuration management but needs further development
Service and self-service are top priorities for our business. TOPdesk fits perfectly with this. The self-service part of the application, in particular, has developed considerably in recent years. The customer has a central position and can enrich his knowledge bij looking up articles. Suggestions of these articles are also shown when the customer wants to create notifications. This may help the customer faster. It is very easy to create these articles. Thanks to TOPdesk's modular structure we can set up the application to our wishes. Upscaling and downscaling of modules are also possible and easy to arrange. However, the module workplace reservation must be further developed. For example, the user interface, additional functionality, and also the link with MS Outlook can be much improved. The module New Asset management will eventually replace the module configuration management but needs further development

We are still in the middle of implementing everything we want to in TOPdesk, but we use it for IT ticket tracking, asset tracking (computers, printers, etc), and as a time tracking tool for our IT staff. We needed a way for each of our multiple office locations and remote employees to be able to submit tickets and for the IT team to keep track of them. Also, the branch managers wanted to be able to see reports of what was happening in their branches.
  • Ticket creation and tracking
  • Very versatile in its setup
  • Love how tickets can be related to a Kanban board.
  • Difficult to setup because it is so versatile
  • Better custom mapping abilities for tickets to Kanban board categories
  • More Kanban custom categories
  • Difficult for users to reset their own passwords
TOPdesk is awesome if you need a ticket system for tracking any IT or computer needs. Software requests, bugs, hardware malfunctions, etc. You can create a knowledge base that adapts to the user's input in real-time. That is super cool. It is a bit cumbersome to track computers, OS versions, and assets in general. That said, asset tracking is just a pain period.

When our previous ticketing system reached its end of life, we determined that the Facilities and Information Technology departments would benefit from an enterprise system that would allow us to share tickets between our departments. Every step of the way, TOPdesk has exceeded our expectations. The tools it provides are powerful and solve real problems with ease. Implementation was straightforward and well-supported, and they are always available with questions and solutions afterward. In addition, their philosophy and customer service solutions have helped our departments improve our service and focus more clearly on our goals together.
  • Customer-centric service
  • Ticketing workflows
  • Enterprise solutions
  • Mobile app
  • Supporting building of self-service portal
TOPdesk is a great solution if your departments are ready and willing to work together as a full team across boundaries to build a system, implement it, and maintain it long-term. It will not be a good solution if your teams are not ready to work together across departments.
