Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
December 22, 2022
TOPdesk is TOPs in the field of Helpdesk/Knowledge Base systems.
- 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: TOPproduct, TOPservice
- 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.
December 14, 2022
Top of the charts with TOPdesk
- 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.
December 13, 2022
TOPdesk advanced but easy to use program
- Friendly and simple user interface
- Easy incident management
- HRM module - the intake procedure could be better. To make your own intake procedure is complicated.
December 13, 2022
Great features and usability
- 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.

TOP(desk) shelf product and service!
- Keeps our Assets organized
- Email notifications
- Ticket organization
- It can be difficult to find settings or options
- The GUI isn't very intuitive

TOPdesk Review -- 10 years of TOPdesk
- 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 as single tool to service the organization!
- 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
June 01, 2022
TOPdesk: a movement of service.
- 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.

The better professional helpdesk system
- 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
- 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.
May 26, 2022
good program - needs a few tweaks
- 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.
- Everything is interconnected - you can easily get user/product/case data from anywhere.
- Custom dashboard and widgets.
- Strong API integrations.
- Case templates/canned responses make creating/resolving cases take less busy work.
- Sometimes it is clunky to assign something to a specific person, unless you know the dept. that person is in.
- If your dashboards are not configured correctly, its very hard to find work assigned to you.
- The search function is only skin deep, unable to pull information on what was said in the ticket.

4 Month in Review of TOPdesk!
- 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

- More Kanban custom categories
- Difficult for users to reset their own passwords

TOPdesk: At the TOP of the Game
- Customer-centric service
- Ticketing workflows
- Enterprise solutions
- Mobile app
- Supporting building of self-service portal
November 11, 2021
Very good fit for a global non-profit
- Simple to use
- Very reliable across the globe -- no response time complaints from Asia
- Language localization/translation so customers can see TOPdesk in their language preference
- Provide an option that prevents technicians (or operators) from being able to manually change ticket status, especially where an organization’s workflow strictly forbids it. For example, once a ticket status is set to in progress, a tech should not be able [to] manually change it back to new.
- Include the functionality that treats incidents and service requests as two different types of tickets with different workflows and requirements.
- Improve the problem management module. The menus, look & feel, options are very basic compared to ticket management.
- Improve the TOPdesk chat functionality or provide easy integration with popular chat programs.
November 09, 2021
Welcome to the modern age of the Help Desk.
- Clear correspondence with our users.
- An easy to view list of past ad future change management items.
- An easy to navigate self help knowlegebase.
- The widgets are helpful, but being able to have separate ones for specific ticket types would be helpful.
- The ability to integrate into a departmental google calendar for change management would be helpful.
- Displaying dates in a short numeric format would save on screen real estate.
- This one is highest on my list - the ability to mass edit / assign tickets!
November 03, 2021
Automate and optimize IT services of your organization
- TOPdesk is affordable and easy to use.
- It has helped us to respond and minimize workspace problems.
- It has allowed us to maximize employee productivity and satisfaction.
- Extensive documentation on API's for integration with third-party services.
- TOPdesk comes as a SAAS platform, so it cannot be hosted on a private server.
- Takes a lot of time to customize the system and train employees.
- Cannot be relied 100% for privacy of information.
November 02, 2021
TOPdesk has a lot of features but Help Desk is its strongest
- TOPdesk has a great web interface that is always responsive.
- The tracking information is second to none. It has a field for everything.
- The integration with Azure AD is very easy to implement and work with.
- The requirement to fill out certain fields before a ticket can be closed can be cumbersome. This could be a requirement for some organizations though.
- The field mappings from Azure AD to user data could be a little more precise. Some of the fields just don't translate.
- When setting up the system to intake emails as trouble tickets, it can be tricky when people reply after a ticket is closed. It will create multiple tickets from this.
September 23, 2021
Works very closely with us to fit our specific needs
- Self-service portal customization.
- Inventory.
- Ticket management.
- Scheduling view - shows at most a week at a time.
- Reporting - can't select all the data points we want to filter or sort by.

Looking for a new helpdesk friend, look to TOPdesk. They will be there when you need them.
- Asset management.
- Ticket creation.
- Automation of processes.
- Reporting.
- My biggest issue is with the duplication of tickets and not being able to combine them.
- Our implementation could have gone better.
- It would be nice if the system could scan for assets and not rely on manual creation of assets.
