Overall Satisfaction with TOPdesk
We use TOPdesk in our IT department to handle all IT calls and administrate our hardware in the TOPdesk CMDB. TOPdesk is our daily work dashboard which gives us the ability to easily manage and coördinate our IT activities.
- TOPdesk is user-friendly and easy to start working with.
- The product gets better and better and is continuously improved. TOPdesk also has many integrations with third party applications by default.
- The vendor informs their customers very well about new developments, etc. Their support is well organized and has a good quality.
- It's very important that an application like TOPdesk supports you to a administrate all your data in a fast way. This is especially true for incident handling. TOPdesk is able to automate tasks you are frequently using, but out-of-the-box the system lacks default automation. You should automate your tasks in TOPdesk yourself. It would be better when the system assists you in an optimal way by default.
- TOPdesk uses search lists in several places in the interface. Think for example of brand, type, category, etc. Currently you must maintain these lists separately in the application and cannot add new items to search lists on the fly (while adding a new object record like a call or equipment).
- You can only save plain text in text fields. It would be better if you are able to save your content in HTML or RTF format. Then you can also save images in text fields. That's much easier then, for example, linking saved screenshots to calls.
- It takes time and discipline to work with a system like TOPdesk but it ultimately yields you a lot more. It gives you much more insight in the workload of your department and supports you optimally to manage your asset information.
We didn't evaluate alternative products because we had very good experiences with TOPdesk in our former job.
