Considered Both Products
JitBit Help Desk
Chose JitBit Help Desk
JitBit Help Desk is more modern and easy to use (web-based). Customizing different areas is also simpler. Product is still receiving feature updates.
Chose JitBit Help Desk
JitBit just had the feature set at the cost point we were willing to spend. Nothing against the other products, but this one just fit our model better.
Chose JitBit Help Desk
We've looked at several different Help Desk solutions, but the names escape me at the moment. We looked at Spiceworks and didn't find it to be bad but we didn't like the ads. There is a purchase version for about $500/year, but we still decided against it--I can't recall why. …
Chose JitBit Help Desk
JitBit is great. The price is great. The support is great. You can feel that it's growing in the right direction.

JitBit is one of those tools that I mention in converstaion. There's lots of systems that I hate talking about because you just think of the headaches, regret, and …
Spoke
Chose Spoke
Spoke outperforms ManageEngine Service Desk Plus on all levels. The user interface is a lot more user-friendly. Service Desk Plus did not offer any AI-driven auto-responses. They also did not offer any Slack integration which is the primary way (and preferred) that our …
Chose Spoke
Spoke is just... easier. Easier to set up and easier to use, for both admins and users. We already have asset management and didn’t necessarily need our ticketing system to be directly connected to it. We wanted a product that was friendly to use, not crazy expensive, and …

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Helps to create a continuous conversation between our team and the user. It was clean and easy to understand, training was less than a day for most newbies. Your Devs, Sales, Marketing Support, Management can all use one hub to talk to your users and gather feedback. Helped us expand our teams and realize what directions we needed to expand in. Support supports, Sales sells, Marketing markets... It's like a beautiful dance! It's hard to say that JitBit is right for you, but I can't imagine the industry that JitBit wouldn't work in. You put it in front of an employee, and they know what to do next.

With our experience, it is very well tailored to organizing our work requests to the IT dept in a very organized, user friendly fashion. The 'smart' technology allows all employees to submit a ticket within their favorite software / process (e.g. Slack vs. email) and IT can field requests in a central location.

  • Simple licensing: Straightforward, per-user licensing, that doesn’t require add-ons or hidden costs to use it fully.
  • Great customer relationship: Spoke is a hands-on partner in our organization, listening to our feedback and implementing our ideas.

Cons
  • JitBit HelpDesk is not free. There is no free version. It would be nice if they had a free, limited version that would allow 100 tickets to get used to it before buying as it is pretty expensive, even for the lowest end implementation.
  • I wish it were easy to integrate forms into. I've seen numerous questions around the Net about integrating Google Forms or creating forms.
  • There is a strong push from JitBit to use the cloud version but some companies really have to use an on-premise solution.

  • I don't have any feedback for this area as the product is still very new to us.

Any questions we've had were fielded in a very timely manner and their staff have been very helpful in our launch and ongoing inquiries. Internally, it has been very well received amongst staff and has increased efficiency, company wide

We've looked at several different Help Desk solutions, but the names escape me at the moment. We looked at Spiceworks and didn't find it to be bad but we didn't like the ads. There is a purchase version for about $500/year, but we still decided against it--I can't recall why. JitBit's reviews and history are both very good. And if two years worth of no issues is any indication of how well it works, then that alone speaks for itself. I have used other Help Desk applications over the past 20 years and none are perfect, but a hassle-free experience gets a gold star from me.

Return on Investment

  • End users are better serviced with modern product

  • Spoke has been very cost efficient, more than paying for itself in gained productivity hours.
