Overall Satisfaction with Hornbill Supportworks ITSM

It's used by our IT department as our incident and problem management system. We have been using Supportworks for over ten years now, from a fledgling product to the more mature version that it is today. The system provides our help desk, desktop, and infrastructure teams with the tool needed to manage some 5000-6000 incidents per month.
  • Manages a large amount of data without slowdown or issues.
  • Reliable platform for incident and problem management.
  • API usage for linking to other systems is basic but useable.
  • User interface is somewhat old fashioned.
  • Cost of having Hornbill install updates is annoying as updates that we try and instal ourselves often fail.
  • Cost of support is too high.
  • Higher cost of support that we think the product is worth.
  • Ease of use and low training needs for new starters.
  • Simple to set up and use.
  • Able to cope with large amounts of data.
  • Stable and reliable.
  • Hornbill not always good at listening to their users.
  • Medium size IT support organisations.
  • Those without a need for complex knowledge systems or complex search engines. Ideal for support teams, limited usage for project or non-technical teams.
  • Better to use other systems to feed in information such as assets, customers etc.
