"We love Desk365! Former Zendesk Client"
Desk365 can be customized to your absolute liking. You can pull granular reporting, view and sort your tickets with ease and stay organized. There is so much automation, it’s very user-friendly and easy to set up. We are so glad to have made the switch from Zendesk and we would not…. go back! Desk365 is also Soc 2 Type 2 compliant! This is a premium helpdesk at a great price. I couldn’t manage IT without it! I am also continuously impressed with their client dedication – if you suggest an improvement, they genuinely take it into consideration! They consistently roll out improvements. We are so grateful!

"Great support. Make you feel they're part of your team"
Desk365 does what you expect from a much more expensive ticket system. The best thing however is the customer support. All questions about the software are answer quickly and completely and suggestions for improvement are treated seriously. They really make you feel they are part of your team.

"Great Support Desk software for the price"
Super quick to set up, very cost effective, very flexible, great for automation and assigning tickets to the right queue. Customer support is very quick to respond if you need them. We were able to integrate this very easily and had this up and running within the day, no hesitation in…. recommending. It also was super easy to get the bot working in Teams and lots of our users use this method for raising and checking on tickets. I’ve used some of the bigger packages and prefer to use this.

"The Helpdesk system everyone should know about"
Performance, Support, Easy-to-use. The Performance is incredible – one of the fastest Helpdesk systems I have ever worked with. The Support is just amazing. Any inquiries will be answered quickly and professionally. Easy-to-use: almost no one, from our ~100 employees, needed any training. It’s self-explanatory.
