If you work with the standard ITIL processes, TOPdesk meets everything.
If you want to configure and organize everything yourself, TOPdesk does not meet your wishes.
Easy to link to third party applications.

In the broad sentence of ITSM applications I think this is the best option. Especially the various departments and services and how they link and be able to work together in one application.

For helpdesk purposes, at the IT department or any other department for that matter, TOPdesk is the software to use. We have been using it for more than 15 years now and through the years they kept on developing the software with new additional functionalities of which I wasn't even aware of I was missing it.
Streamlining calls with TOPdesk saves a lot of phone calls and emails.

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.

With some of the improvements mentioned earlier TOPdesk is working fine in a managed service provider environment. API possibilities are great and makes it flexible in connecting to other systems. Change management module could need improvement and is sometimes more administrative work then the actual change.

TOPdesk: Customer-oriented ticketing for in-house maintenance

Bernd Fredriks | TrustRadius Reviewer

Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review

Review Source

Likelihood to Recommend

For the application of standard ticketing processes, TOPdesk is very suitable. Especially as you do not want to spend time on training at your callers (if this is a potentially big group). Also, escalation processes within the operating company can well be handled by TOPdesk. Operators have a simple and clear view of their tasks and the tasks of their direct colleagues.

Complicated multistep process flows need to be designed carefully (consultancy). Also, the connection to graphical interfaces for daily dashboards outside TOPdesk can be troublesome.

TOPdesk used between multiple governments and IT departments

Likelihood to Recommend

The biggest collaboration between us and the government is through the change management tool. We made a big effort to merge all the changes to one for all the things which need be done when a new employee starts, of a college leaves. These changes start within the company where the college starts. Every department and our ICT department all get activities in the right order to get all preparation done. From HR contract to the user account and e-mail, but also things like mobile phone, connected to a digit telephone number, user accounts in programs, and tools for that specific function.

We have been able to make standard changes to update and upgrade the procedure of the software, even with an extensive change, which includes all steps to be taken, starting at the change advisory board through to delivery to the end-user.

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.

TOPDesk would be great for bigger sized companies where there is a reasonable number of support questions. I think it is less suitable for maintenance departments who want to plan replacements and keep track of (almost) outdated equipment. Instead of TOPDesk, our own organization has chosen another product for this use to fit their requirements.

I don't have any areas of less well-suited situations. I think that the ticketing system is excellent and works well for our environment. The project management system is also great. It is very thorough and a great organization tool but was more in-depth than what we need at the moment.

TOPdesk is a very good tool for creating and registering and reporting incidents. The scrum board deserves attention. It is nice to accommodate as much everything as possible in an application, unfortunately, this is not yet a fully-fledged instrument.

We hesitated to use Profit (Afas) to register incidents because this application was already present. However, this was too limited in functionality for us. The forms that can be created in the SSP (Self Service Portal) are often much more flexible.

Likelihood to Recommend

TOPdesk is well suited for on-premise deployments for incident management, CMDB, visitor management. It will require a robust implementation trajectory and staff training, but that goes for all such solutions. Cloud deployments are also possible, however in my experience the integration with other cloud services is still immature and can be improved.

I've used several issue tracking systems and I must admit that TOPDesk is the first system which actually got it right! Since 2019 we moved to the SaaS version of TOPdesk, which means we don't have to deal with the hosting and get updates on a regular basis. TOPdesk gets better with each update!

Suited for:
Provding support services in the public domain. We noticed it is really an advantage since many of our customers in the public domains also use TOPdesk.
Quick start for base first- and second line processes with less human resource effort. TOPdesk OOTB comes with ready to used first- and second line processes. There is not much knowledge and effort required to get started and keep your base configuration maintained. Also the license model is flexible to grow with your business. Overall this allows you a quick start of using TOPdesk with a minimum of exploitation effort and costs.
