"Highly Recommend."

Desk365 has absolutely improved our ability to process internal/external requests. I needed a software solution that could be easily implemented for a reasonable price point and Desk365 delivered. I have been very impressed with the responsiveness of the Desk365 team and their assistance in configuring the software to fit our needs. Highly Recommend.

"They really make you feel they are 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.

"A very good system all round."

After testing many other helpdesk solutions, we have been utilizing Desk365 for 10 months and have been hugely impressed with its ease of use, speed and simplicity. Everything we need to provide excellent customer support via email (our primary support channel) is available in one place, updates on new features are regular and concise and any requests for new features are reviewed and implemented quickly. A very good system all round.

Andy Roberts

Network & Communications Support Specialist, CSG

"Truly an outstanding product with a knowledgeable, prompt and courteous staff."

We heavily utilize Teams and other Microsoft 365 products and with Desk365’s easy and tight integration with Office 365, it was a natural fit. Our adoption was seamless and we now have a much (much) higher use of the ticket system by end users—instead of the office visit ticket or phone call. With the ability for users to make a ticket in Teams, email or the portal at a click of a button—users naturally gravitate to actual ticket creation. Truly an outstanding product with a knowledgeable, prompt and courteous staff.

"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.

"Desk365 has plenty of features which we love to use."

“Desk365 has plenty of features which we love to use. With other tools, we tried, there was always a learning curve. Not with Desk365, simple and fast. The email ticketing module is very intuitive to set up and use. The integration with Microsoft Teams was a big selling point to us. We can work on Tickets within MS Teams, even the customers Tenant can be integrated. Very fast way to communicate with the customers. The standard SLA and the option to set different, special SLAs to some customers make it easy to keep up with all the tickets.”

Jan Schwärzel

CTO, ComSet AG

"Teams integration is fantastic!"

Teams integration is fantastic and has improved user interaction by at least 500%. Tech team is notified in Teams when tickets come in. Users see tech questions and comments in their teams. Automation features are great. Knowledgebase is more than adequate and search functions work well.
