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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

- 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.

- 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
- 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.
- 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.

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.

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.

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).
November 02, 2020
Good incident management and CMDB solution
- Gives a clear, configurable overview of open incidents.
- Has an easy-to-use self-service facility.
- Ability to create KPI based reporting.
- Azure SSO connector is cumbersome to configure.
- Office365 mail import configuration requires way too much permissions on your mail environment.
- UX can be improved.

TOPdesk used between multiple governments and IT departments
- Software updates as a standard change for all steps to be taken

- Reports about changes and incidents in one view
- Easy report wizard for people who don't use TOPdesk daily
- Bulk changes for IT hardware
- Registration and management of 1st/2nd line incidents.
- Asset management.
- Customized and automated emails.
- Mobile access (the functionality is limited).
- Reporting.

- 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.

TOPDesk - The right tool to get the job done
- Very easy to use, it's rather self-explanatory.
- Default it offers a lot of functionalities, like Plan Boards, Task Boards, Time Registration, Knowledge Management, Contract Management etc. and one can choose to use it (or not to use it, if it's not needed).
- Very configurable so that you can set up your organizational needs very well.
- Easily differentiate between private and public remarks for internal / external communication.
- Can't name any real Cons for the system. There will always be some small improvements which would be nice to have, but in general, everyone should be able to get up and running in no time and reap the fruits of being able to track issues decently.

Already for 10 years a happy topdesker
- User-friendly graphical interface
- Good reporting tool
- Possibility to build a knowledge base for FAQ
- We are not using all of the modules, so I would like to be careful with comments. Maybe some functions are available in other modules
- CSM functionality

Introducing TOPdesk in a sales environment
- Easy to understand end-user interface (both internal as well as self service portal)
- Easy to configure / maintain
- Easy to add new developed features to your SAAS platform (marketplace)
- Easy import facility to do relative simple data imports for base entities
- Search for specific data in your recorded interactions (both internal as well as from the self service portal)
- Increasing workflow automation possibilities using APIs
- Using custom fields in your SSP web forms. Currently, every field you enter (despite some standard ones like objects, contact details, category, short description,...) is stored in the request field. This makes it difficult for further process this data using HTTP actions.
- Plugin to push planned tasks to outlook is difficult to setup. Take a look at Salesforce.......

TOPdesk review
- With the help of the topdesk, the projects, incidents and changes are billed to the customers
- At the moment we have an improvement that we first have to make that already is already offered by the topdesk in functionality but it lacks time and know how to further refine and fine-tune this.
- It's well priced
- Highly customizable
- Asset management needs a lot of work.
- Knowledge base is very bare bones.

TOPdesk, what's in a name?
- The interface is well designed and through the years this has only improved.
- Reasonably easy to customize for your own needs. The management of the application is not too complex.
- Good and professional support from the TOPdesk support team.
- I would like to see more functionality for TOPDesk reports. It is not possible to create a complete report with several indicators from different categories. It would be great if I just could combine everything into one big management report which I could send monthly (automatically).
- Splitting the use for different departments in one TOPdesk environment is quite difficult. There are possibilities, but there can easily be cross contamination.
- The SelfServiceDesk is quite basic (but functional). It would be great if you could enrich these with widgets to retrieve realtime information from your environment (like specific uptime or live service status from business applications).

Museum multi-department TOPdesk review
- Feedback to the employee is very flexible
- Ease of use
- SAAS application, available anywhere, anytime
- Way of editing feedback email is in HTML, what can be a pain to edit for some
