Overall Satisfaction with Cherwell Service Management
[We are] currently utilizing Cherwell primarily as a ticketing/ticket tracking system with some minor asset management roles tied into it. It is being used by the IT department as a whole across our entire organization. It helps to ensure prompt response times and accountability among IT employees that are assigned particular issues.
- Ticket Handling and routing. Being a larger organization getting tickets routed to the proper internal groups to resolve is key.
- Maintaining level of service. Without any ticketing system we would be hard pressed to keep track independently of issues/calls/emails received.
- Asset management. Utilizing a web link to inventory new equipment assignments aids in troubleshooting with users as the equipment is bound to their userid. So when a ticket is generated for their ID a snapshot of what equipment they have and possibly are calling about is presented.
- The interface is somewhat clunky to navigate and at times finding where things are located takes some time.
- If you are idle too long in the application it will constantly pop up a message that you have been logged out due to inactivity but you cannot then close the application without having to end the task from the task manager in Windows.
- We are able to keep users in the loop via automated status updates on their issue/ticket. Resulting in a better user experience.
