Overall Satisfaction with TOPdesk

It's our main ticketing and time registration tool for the helpdesk. It was very customizable to our needs which we appreciated a lot since we had 1st, 2nd, 3rd line support and a separate offsite helpdesk team as well. With the templates and saved messages we could escalate tickets very easily and this saved us a lot of time. We could easily make a new project and start booking time on it and afterwords used some reporting to report it to management. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a tool that just works and does what it needs to do.

Pros

  • Customization
  • Project management
  • Ticketing flow
  • Time registration

Cons

  • Out of the box experience might be too basic for some advanced users
  • Cost saving with all of the features TOPdesk has provided
  • Vastly improved efficiency compared to our previous tool (over 30%)
  • Much faster resolution and response times to our end users
  • Cherwell Service Management (discontinued) and Freshservice
TOPdesk was incredibly intuitive compared to the competitors and any questions we had were resolved quickly by the support team. After the configuration phase was over we barely changed anything over the years to our workflow because it just worked incredibly well for us. We made good use of the API in Topdesk to change it to our and our customers' needs. Using all the features (ITSM, SLA, Knowledge Base) was much easier to access compared to Freshservice. The setup time was much shorter. Because TOPdesk is a much more mature product, a lot of the features that are baseline are not yet available for the competitors such as a "waiting for customer until" feature to pause a ticket until a certain date.
Incredible support team. They responded very fast and were always able to help us with our questions or problems. This was almost always due to our own fault but still they were very friendly and helpful. The onboarding and pre-sale I was personally not a part of but this went very smoothly according to my colleagues. After a few weeks we got everything running how we wanted to and for any additional questions they did give us more support and tips on how to optimally use the product.
If I could choose a new ticketing/asset/ITSM tool and a company I would definitely go with TOPdesk. I like the fact that the support team is also in Dutch and the pricing at the time we purchased it was very affordable. It had all the features we needed and since then the product has come a long way and has many built in out-of-box features that require much less config and setup time. However still very customizable so can be adapted to any customer/environment.

Would you buy TOPdesk again?

Yes

We had a smaller team of 6-7 people and for us it was perfect. It was very easy for us to book time per ticket and keep track of what we were spending the most of our time on. Escalating tickets was easy because of the prebuilt emails and message saving features. The typical features are all there of course such as incident, project management, etc. TOPdesk is highly customizable and we felt like we always had a good oversight of the KPI's, time management and customer satisfaction ratings. Our management liked the reporting features, the customizable dashboard and the data visualization. In my personal experience, TOPdesk also had the best search feature, and with the tags we were also very easily able to find the tickets we needed.
