TOPdesk is used for incidents, like facility problems e.g. a broken toilet, internet not working, computer authorization, application authorization, and access, but also to request changes in the application. The business has problems finding the right field to log the right problem. It will be linked to purchases for facility and IT.
  • Good for reporting a problem like a broken shower
  • Too many fields to register
TOPdesk is used well for incident logging, describing the problem, which can be different types like for a purchase for facilities and/or IT. For example, a colleague cannot enter, submit an application, and describe the problem in TOPdesk. A benefit would be to simply add an appendix by dragging the picture to TOPdesk.

Business problems are different, like problems with the network or printer. Cleaning rooms and all sorts of different spaces are used by students at the MBO college in Utrecht and Haarlem. They are where most of the problems with the network and the printers on the three floors where they are located.
  • It’s very friendly to use. Buttons are very clean to use.
  • It’s simple to find the locations to enter your problem
  • Also good for declarations use
  • More examples of the facility problems
  • A better link to reply when a problem is solved according to TOPdesk and not for me
  • Better visibility in the app design - it’s a little bit overshadowed by the other apps' layouts
It’s very convenient to use when there are computer problems or problems in the workspace area.

We use TOPdesk for reporting problems with ICT, problems with the building, products that no longer work well, or making reservations for rooms for consultations. Everyone can make these reports but mostly the nurses or the doctors’s assistants will do this. Recently, we have used TOPdesk a lot with the implementation of our new EPD.
  • It’s easy to report something.
  • It’s quicker than a call.
  • You can make a report at any moment you want.
  • Let the data be filled in when you're logged in.
  • Make it easier to attach bigger documents.
When implementing our new EPD, we used TOPdesk a lot. It was easy to use and it was clear how to use it when you needed to fill in the information. Sometimes, it’s not so clear where you leave your information, but that’s maybe a point of improvement.

We use TOPdesk to report problems in the hospital. Problems in ICT, the building itself, reporting things that are broken, reserve areas in the hospital, etc. Everyone can report, but mostly the nurses and doctor’s assistants are the ones to report. We also used it to report problems when we were implementing the newest version of HiX.
  • If we work in the evening or at night you can still report a problem instead of asking someone in the daytime to fix it.
  • It was a good way to report problems when we were implementing HiX.
  • It’s quicker than a call.
  • It would be nice if my personal information/data was already filled in when I am logged in.
  • Files are sometimes too big to upload.
It was well-suited while we were implementing a new version of HiX. It was a nice way to report our problems and have everything together in the same system.

We use TOPdesk for notifications from coworkers in the hospital. When they have problems or a wish for the hospital patient information system, they go to a portal and make a notification. We work as a functional manager to make sure that the notifications are picked up until we solve the problem of having an answer we close the notification. That’s how we use TOPdesk.
  • It’s structured, so you don’t have to search for things you need.
  • It’s great to have the possibility to make your OWN priority.
  • When a notification is over the due date, it gets a red color, so you can see what is necessary to pick up first.
  • It would have been easier if the people whom you share the notification with also got the email, instead of only the name of the person who makes the notification.
When someone shares a notification with you, you always get a reminder when there’s an update. I really like that part. Besides that, it’s not made for other personal marks or notifications. You always have to use other systems to do that.

TOPdesk is used as a service management tool. We have multiple teams working in TOPdesk. It’s a great tool to manage different questions, requests, problems, and changes within our organization. It also helps us with collecting data on what to improve in our organization.
  • Knowledge Management
  • Asset Management
  • Incident Management
  • The layout of the knowledge management system
  • The trees within the Knowledge management system
  • Reporting feature
TOPdesk is great to use as a tool for incident, service, and change management. It’s very applicable for every organization and the customization features for the Self Service Portal are easy to use. Once you put an effort in, the automated actions can save a lot of time for users.

We use TOPdesk as a ticket system for our health care organisation. Most of the problems we address with TOPdesk are tickets sent about applications, passwords, questions, our saas products, clients, sales, etc. TOPdesk makes it easier for our IT administration to have an overview of the problems in our organisation.
  • Administration
  • Registration
  • Knowledge centre
  • Intuitivity
  • Better overview in knowledge service
  • Easier to make a ticket
Overall, I’m very happy with TOPdesk, the learning curve is great. And the possibilities are wide.

We use it for al our incidents and charges. We are changing it at the moment with OGD. the business problems are incidents with autorization and when they miss programs or when they have problems with every kind of software they also use TOPdesk to reach us as application manager
  • E-Mail to the user
  • Reminder when the manager doesn’t react on there email
  • ADD a link between TOPdesk and RAM-IT our network partner
  • Make it easier to make new changes users can choose
TOPdesk is clear for all users so everyone can use it also when you don’t know anything about computers etc. Its clear where you can find anything in the system. Sometimes you want more informatie from the employee but you cant make an incident to long. Overall its a good system to work with

We use TOPdesk for notifications within ICMT. We register (Almost) all resources within asset management. As administrators, we also make a lot of use of APIs to make certain functionalities available (such as bulk edit of operational activities)
  • API function
  • Link knowledge items to the notification
  • Clear SSP
  • Built-in bulk editor for operational activities
  • Option to copy/paste images in a notification directly
Many possibilities to build in missing features yourself. The knowledge items are just not (always) up to date, and a good explanation of the schedules would be extra useful. Furthermore, it is very clear within both the SSP and the practitioner environment

We use it primarily as a ticket system. And also to see which questions are some of the most asked questions within our organisation. Thats an important feature to have so we know where we have to improve our service.
  • Registration of tickets
  • Knowledge items are easy to make/manage
  • The logic behind the ticket form
  • Automatic alphabetically sorting of the knowledge items
  • Not logging out when inactive for a while
It’s great to use as a ticket registration system and very intuitive. Especially because you can link a knowledge item to the ticket. And that’s maybe sometimes the downfall because sometimes a ‘problem’ can be fixed quickly for the user. So it takes more time to fill in a ticket.

TOPdesk Service Management offers a user-friendly interface, making it easy for employees to submit and track their requests efficiently. The platform's customization options allow organizations to tailor the system to their specific needs, enhancing overall workflow and increasing productivity. TOPdesk's robust reporting capabilities enable teams to analyze performance metrics and make informed decisions to improve service delivery.
  • user friendliness
  • Support of ITIL processes
  • Customizable
  • Self Service Portal
  • Reports combining incidents and changes
  • Enabling formatting text fields on forms
  • Enable multilingual e-mail templates
Pro: Via the self service portal a user can apply for certain services in the organisation and the input form can be configured in a way that all important and relevant information is received, including documents, screenshots and other attachments. So instead of e-mail back and forth between the service desk and the end-user a successfull application is faster and more effective.

Con: Gather repetitive information via a form

We use TopDesk to manage our IT Service Desk calls and IT Assets. This allows us to track every call and what progress has been made on it, along with monitoring Asset locations and specifications in the same application. We also use the Asset List to create automatic loan documentation for devices we give to staff members.
  • Asset Management.
  • Call Management.
  • Assigning and Replying to Calls.
  • Asset Documentation Creation and Storage.
  • Knowledge Base.
  • New Checklist System.
  • Call Filtering and Folder Management.
  • Creating new Call Categories.
TOPdesk is very well suited for IT ServiceDesk environments. Managing calls efficiently, creating a knowledge base and Self Service Portal for end users, and managing all IT assets make it easy for IT Admins and End Users to use and navigate TOPdesk. It would be less appropriate in places that don't support end users or primarily contact suppliers.

We use TOPdesk for employees and students. The onboarding of employees was not digital with us and we have now automated this by means of TOPdesk. We also this as incident tooling, it allows users to submit requests, track progress, and communicate with service providers. One of the benefits of using TOPdesk is that it can automate workflows and tasks, such as employee onboarding.
This can save time and resources, and improve the quality and consistency of service delivery.
  • Incident management
  • Problem management
  • Asset management
  • More AI integration
TOPdesk is extremely suitable for managing incidents and problems. TOPdesk can also be used in combination with a webshop to purchase assets.The self service portal helps the students with finding the right information about laptops and lockers.

We use TOPdesk as a quality management system to monitor our LSPs (Logistics Service Provider) performance. Different entities from across Europe are active in TOPdesk to be able to communicate with the concerned distribution centres. When the DC receives a complaint from a [...] employee, they start an investigation and need to fill in a root cause analysis + counter measures.
  • SSP
  • Updates
  • API structures
  • filtering object IDs in SSP forms
In my opinion, TOPdesk works best when there is a clear line between callers and operators. Operators should always be responsible of correctly handling and closing the tickets.

We use TOPdesk for various ends, to catalog our incidents, the change request and for asset management, this works fantastic as we were previously using a mailing system to work on tickets. But with TOPdesk we can instantly see what the top priorities are and its also very helpful to see when someone has updated their ticket. Would 10/10 recommend.
  • it gives us a better overview of our ongoing changes and incidents
  • we can manage our assets better and link it to the person who is using them
  • its easy to see when someone updates their ticket as you get a notification and if you miss this you even get an email to remind you
  • I think it logs out too fast sometimes when I go somewhere else it requires to be logged in again
  • sometimes notifications that have already been closed come back
  • adding new resources can be hard if you're new.
TOPdesk is perfect to manage caseload and to register who has to complete the next action on a case, also as an asset management system its really easy to use. I really enjoy working in TOPdesk because you get a fast overview of what has to be done at a given day, this helps me prioritize my tasks.

We use it for supporting other companies with service management problems.
We register their incidents and changes and keep track of assets and services.
  • Incident management
  • Change management
  • Knowledge management
  • Asset management
  • Asset management selections
  • Reporting dashboards for service levels

TOPdesk is a great tool for registering, keeping track of and resolving incidents and changes.
With accessible modules and add ons it provided an easy workspace to manage your workspaces and services.
It could improve with the reporting section over incidents and changes, but excels in knowledge management and user experience.

I am a TOPdesk application consultant and I implement TOPdesk and her modules in environments of my customers. I also work on creating links between API's of different ITSM-toolings.

Besides the implementation I also give advise to my customers about how to configure and implement the work processes to ensure the best practice of TOPdesk.
  • Functionality
  • User interface
  • Automation
  • Update modules
  • Reservations Management
  • Existing integrations with certain apps
  • System failures
I would recommend TOPdesk to my colleagues and customers because it often provides the desired capabilities for requirements. Compared to other ITSM tooling such as Freshdesk, USD and ServiceNow, TOPdesk offers a finer user interface.

We use TOPdesk as our ticket management system. For all of the support questions of the customers we make tickets, which are uses by the support department to answer the questions of the customers. We also use TOPdesk to store the solutions of different problems, so we can easily find solution to help the customer with the issue they are experiencing.
  • Easy to use
  • Custom layouts and fields are possible
  • A SelfServicePortal for the customer
  • Good search functionalibility
  • No possibility for great and easy reporting
  • Layout design not to easy
  • Configuration of layouts requiers a lot of searching
It is a good tool when you want a tool for managing al your support questions. It is also able to store items and you can track hardware within TOPdesk. I don not recommend using that, because the use of an ERP system is much better at that. It is better to create a connenction between the different tools via an API, which TOPdesk supports.

We use it for incident and change management and for the internal ordering process, as well as some special actions (recurring tasks or contact to some external support).
In addition to that, we use the knowledge base. This is twofold. On the one hand we write articles for our customers on usual problems (kind of manual to solve problems without help), on the other hand, we use it to keep track on solutions for some exotic problems. Therefore, we (as administrators) can solve those problems more quickly and easily.
  • Incident Management
  • Change Management
  • Basic automation of some processes
  • Knowledge Base (using; creation is a bit buggy)
  • It eases up the ordering process
  • Knowledge Base - The creation is a bit buggy. For example: Image resize only works in Firefox
  • Keep Alive - We keep getting "Website is not up to date" from time to time
  • Dark Mode is missing
  • Save settings - I have to sort the lists every time I open them. If there is a way, it is not easy to find
I think TOPdesk is best fitted in small to medium businesses, if there is someone capable of programming the rule sets. Those can be hard to create properly or maintain over time.
The knowledge base and Self Service Portal can provide users with some insights and help, even if the SysAdmin is unavailable at that time.
I don't think it is suitable for larger companies, because I personally think it will get quite messy then.

  • Operational tasks, reoccurring
  • Idle time is short, after 15 minutes you need logon again. Automatically save ticket information.
  • A roadmap with timeline for changes. Year timeline.
  • Overview with all types of tickets in 1 view
We can make better priorities on tickets. The reporting helps to explain how many fte is needed for the job.

  • Problem management
