Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
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 it's 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.

TOPdesk is what we needed, easy to use, and affordable!
- 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.

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.
- Extremely easy to configure and [customize] for our own needs
- Outstanding customer support -always very friendly, knowledgeable and prompt to respond
- Very versatile and can be adapted to suit a very diverse range of teams -it's not just for IT!
- The self-service portal works well but is not as [customizable] as it could be
- The 'out of the box' nature of the product makes it very easy to configure but this can sometimes lead you down a path that you don't always want to follow. However the benefits vastly outweigh the negatives
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
Seamless Great product with great UI: TOPDesk is Rockstarrrrrrrrr!!
- ITSM
- Kanban Board
- Asset Management
- API integrations
- SLA management
- Creating reports can be imroved its little bit confusing.
- he events and actions modules are sometimes frustrating especially when triggers do not work.
- The change process is confusing and requires regular guidance. It is pretty expensive. The installation process is quite tough
- It does not allow users to update their profiles with additional details such as education, contact numbers, and links from social media forums.
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
November 03, 2021
TOPDesk is Top of the Heap in Enterprise Help Desk Management
- 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
October 08, 2021
TOPdesk 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.

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
- Better custom mapping abilities for tickets to Kanban board categories
- More Kanban custom categories
- Difficult for users to reset their own passwords
December 05, 2021
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.

TOpdesk rating
- Very user friendly
- Complete
- Supporting all kind of processes within a company for services to personel and customers
- Key-point more clearly all too quickly changing options and possibilities
- Support more information about How best to implement processes
- More levels on Categorisation
- Extended functions in Forms + .PDF creation/Fill in
- 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 a great helping tool!
- reservation process
- incident management process
- easy to use
- easier shortcuts
- agenda option
- dont know any more
- The clear distinction in terms of modules and their functions, but you can easily link the different parts together.
- Users are involved in the TOPdesk product. Much attention to customer wishes. Free webinars about new developments or the exploration of certain parts.
- Easy to link to third-party applications.
- Every version that has been released has been thoroughly tested and therefore there are few bugs in production.
- Linking TOPdesk environment of customers and / or suppliers (Collaboration Center).
- Due to the many functionalities of the modules, you sometimes [do] not see the wood for the trees. With Asset Management they are taking a step in the right direction.
November 09, 2020
Nice product with room for improvement
- They are making good progress in developing API's for communication with other apps which is becoming more and more important. Also the development of a collaboration platform for easy connecting to other/customer (TOPdesk) systems is a positive move.
- In our company we will build a extensive API configuration to communicate with MS Dynamics and we already have several connections with customers that gives a better user experience.
- The events and actions module gives extra power to the system to overcome some limitations or automate manual actions.
- We use this option for a lot of different activities. One is for a notification when a certificate or application license is almost expired but there are a lot more applications for this function.
- Technical support department performs nicely and in a professional way.
- Room for improvement is in workflows and in mandatory fields based on where you are in a proces. E.g. when closing an incident you have to be forced to check if you made the right decisions at registration time. Also skipping statuses is possible but not wanted.
- On several places it would helpful if you could make more field dependent on what you chose in a earlier field. E.g. in the new asset management templates showing only the models of the brand you choose. Also a third level under category/subcategory is needed.
- TOPdesk is simple to use for the creators of a ticket by the Self Service Portal
- The input forms are easy to design and have not much possibility for fancy stuff. Therefore they keep it simple and it can easily be created and designed.
- Process Flows can easily be modeled in TOPdesk by internal administrators.
- By defining user groups and assigning specific operators or callers, the business process can quickly be created. For more complicated workflows there is a so-called Change Management Module. For designing process flows for this module training is recommended.
- TOPdesk provides raw data reports that can be handled in Excel.
- Pivot tables in Excel let you easily be in control of reports.
- For application in the Scrum of Agile job assignment processes, TOPdesk offers the so-called Kanban board, which is very useful to show the overall status of tasks to be done.
- Modeling more complicated workflows is difficult and could need the support of a consultant
- Graphical output of Topdesk is very limited. Users mainly will rely on Excel as reporting tool, except for some basic graphs that are provided in your dashboard by Topdesk itself.
- Making forms of standard routines.
- Making overviews of activities made.
- Integration with intranet (you have to set up that yourself though).
- In the SAAS version the most usual Windows shortcuts don't work.
- Using the TAB-key doesn't always work as you'd expect.
- TOPdesk is not quite pro-active in advising/schooling in different not-so-many used modules.
November 11, 2020
Good supplier of good software with space for improvement
- [Register] incidents.
- Logging.
- [Register] products.
- It would be nice if the status of a product can automatically change when they are registered to a product.
- More layout options in ssp.
November 02, 2020
A happy TOPdesk customer
- Collaboration.
- Intuitive use.
- Filtering to keep track of things.
- Collaboration could be a bit smoother.
- Some things are a lot of work to maintain (mails in the action module).
October 02, 2020
TOPdesk used between multiple governments and IT departments
- Software updates as a standard change for all steps to be taken
- All employee changes between multiple organizations managed in 1 change
- One place for all your questions
- Reports about changes and incidents in one view
- Easy report wizard for people who don't use TOPdesk daily
- Bulk changes for IT hardware

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.
- 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.
