"Superb help desk software"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

The ease of use and the broad range of functionality in the mobile app compared to the web app really make creating and updating tickets on-the-go a breeze. Most of our support for clients is remote but occasionally a tech must be dispatched onsite and being able to update or close a ticket in real time makes our job much easier.

What do you dislike about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

Occasionally, the mobile app behaves in unexpected ways or won't let me launch it at all. That problem hasn't occurred in the last several iterations of the software but about a year ago, whatever version I was using (on a Samsung Galaxy S5) made accessing the help desk a nightmare. Thankfully that's been resolved! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Need a helpdesk? Want it to be free and backed by a bunch of people?"
4/5
What do you like best about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

Did I mention free? Yes, sometimes you get what you don't pay for but not in this case. Spiceworks Help Desk is free and an incredible product. Also with the install of this tool, jump on their network analyzer it complements the desk tool very nicely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

When it comes to the user side of submitting tickets I do wish the UI was more watered down. But, even with that, it is still good. Just takes some instruction. If you are not using to port forwarding or any network setup getting it internet and not just intranet can be difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Brilliant alternative for smaller IT teams"
4/5
What do you like best about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

Spiceworks is quite similar to a lot of web based help desk suites, but what I like best about it is the community. Spiceworks also has a massive online community of techies all willing to give advice and support, share news and info, or just talk to each other which really keeps the whole thing alive. If your a small support team that’s a big help as maybe someone online will have the answer if your team doesn’t. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

It does appear cluttered at times and it would be better if you could open multiple tickets in tabs on the site instead of having to right click and open a new tab in the browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very basic but gets the job done."
4/5
What do you like best about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

Simple navigation, and that you can return to a past ticket easily to review all notes for easy troubleshooting in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

I cannot access when not on my office network. Sometimes I want to review notes from a previous issue but I cannot when not at my desk. Luckily I remedied that by storing all emails from the comments/closing of a ticket in a folder and could reference that instead of returning to the web platform.

"Great multi use tool with excellent customization options"
5/5
What do you like best about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

The plug-ins make it easy to manage and filter tickets automatically, as long as your users cooperate and apply the correct tags to their email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

Creating a shared help desk between sites turned out to be a bit of a pain as you can't link 2 servers together, so we ended up having to make the main server available over the internet and also setting up a local server strictly for device inventory needs.

The lowest default completion time of 15 minutes is too high for many issues but I'm unable to enter anything lower. Will have to see if this can be changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
