Re: [OT] Recommendations for Helpdesk Software



We are using Web Help Desk, and it is awesome.
http://www.webhelpdesk.com/

I first went this route when I was short on staff, and didn't feel I had anyone that could take an open source app and get it going for us. Then, the decision was made to use a consultant to set it up for us- the same guys who had installed our Xserve and RAID. They had just begun to use an open source app, and while they were happy to set it up for us, they thought their OS solution rocked. But after setting Web Help Desk up for us, and then struggling with the solution they had chosen, they dropped it and implemented Web Help Desk themselves.

After we had it set up- it became clear that there really had been no reason to use a consultant to set it up except that we were short staffed. It is really easy to work with. We have it set up to use MySQL as the back end DB.

RT http://bestpractical.com/rt/
is free and open source works great.

JIRA: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/

Is not free but it does alot more and is great. We just moved over to it.

OTRS is another OSS, but RT is better, IMHO

Hi Gang,

Just wondering what, if any, kind of helpdesk solution do you run in your environments?
Ie could you recommend some tools to track tickets and assets?


Our needs are not that great so I began to roll our own, but it appears the devil is yet again in the details
and an off the shelf solution seems more and more appropriate. :-)



Many TIA, -filipp
