What problems is osTicket solving and how is that benefiting you?
At the time of introducing the OS ticket system our support desk was being overloaded by the number of support calls we were receiving. We had initially tried operating a call back list however this soon became unmanageable as it wasn't possible to add much detail regarding the issue faced by the user.
By introducing the ticket system we allowed our customers to log their issue directly into our support desk, Letting them upload screenshots and give detailed information about their issue. We were then able to send them relevant answers via the ticket system, request remote access or arrange a suitable time to call them.
This has had a drastic impact on the standard of our customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
