Overall Satisfaction with osTicket

We are currently using osTicket across our office-based staff. Previously technical issues and hardware requests [were] all completed on paper, this often caused problems with requests being lost or misplaced which added time to technical/hardware issues. All [requests] are now logged via email to osTicket to a line manager who then will assign tickets to the correct member of the IT Team. We have found a significant increase in response times.
  • Email to ticket creation
  • Report tracking completion tasks/tickets
  • Reminders on stale tickets
  • The issue we have experienced was slow logon times but this was down to a server configuration issue
  • Turnaround of ticket logged to resolve has improved around 50% compare[d] to previous paper methods.
SysAid free version has comparable features compare to osTicket such as Email to Ticket and self service portal however the cost to upgrade to the full version did sway our decision.

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy osTicket again?

Yes

NetApp E-Series, Hyper-V, Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR 4000)
I find osTicket to be useful for a small to midsize company with office staff across one site. The lack of built-in remote support and real-time chat would limit this in a larger organization with multiple sites, however, the cost being free one cannot complain.
