No credit card required.

Robust Ticketing Platform

Desk365 offers a powerful ticketing platform, that includes Microsoft Teams ticketing along with custom email servers and a customer support portal. This allows for seamless operation of a help desk that effectively integrates with Microsoft Teams and efficiently manages requests from other important channels such as email, support portal, web forms, and more.

Affordable and Transparent Pricing

Provide world class support without breaking your bank. Zendesk offers only foundational support and has a complicated pricing structure. To access additional features like Customer surveys, SLAs, and more, you must purchase the higher priced plans which are very expensive. Desk365 has a single Pro Plan that covers all the premium features at a much more affordable price.

Microsoft Teams Ticketing

Desk365 is a platform built from the ground up for Microsoft 365 environments. Experience the seamless nature of Microsoft Teams ticketing using Desk365’s special bots – Teams Agent Bot and Teams Support Bot. Minimize risk and simplify user administration while ensuring secure access with Single Sign-on through Azure Active Directory.

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.

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.
