We have selected TOPdesk as the best all-round option. On other parts there are better / more extensive applications but TOPdeks combines it in 1 package. In addition, more than 600 practitioners from participating municipalities were already used to working with TOPdesk, so we …
It is more versatile and better adjustable to our organisation. I have worked with TOPdesk in multiple organisations. And in each of the organisations it was different and still the same. Like lego bricks were the bricks are the same, but the builds are all different for the …
TOPdesk is much more flexible, it also has a self service portal which is convenient. Easy to ask questions to the TOPdesk service desk and good support.
The possibilities are much greater then the ones I have mentioned above. Also it is a Dutch company, it helps to have short lines with the guys/girls in Delft.
TOPdesk is a clear and pleasant program that invites you to look for the right solution. If you can't find out, you have a help button. There are also various options to complete the report.
TOPdesk is customizable in all aspects in a more user-friendly manner. Other tools I worked with required technical and expert-level knowledge to make different queues, portals, and categories. With a little guidance from a consultant and some documentation, you can go a long …
Having both training and facility management in one platform makes a big difference. My team & I can access training materials, maintenance checklists, Work Orders, Asset Details, Purchase Orders and safety procedures all in one place. QByte AI streamlines my team's workflow and it reinforces the connection between what my team learns and how we apply it on the job. We have seen a significant improvement in productivity with QByte AI
As TOPdesk is pretty intuitive it is often not needed to instruct colleagues on how to use TOPdesk. Most modules and fields do explain themselves. This means there aren't many additional instructions needed for the applications itself. Most information we do need to support our colleagues on based on organizational processes, not our ITSM tool of choice. And if there is more information needed, the knowledge base system can be used for this. On the other hand this could create the idea that no additional instructions are needed. Which might be true for the application itself, but not for how it is being used within your organisation
TOPdesk provides a clean and modern interface for all of its modules. Many of the modules have a similar look and feel, which makes it easy for users to utilize each one.
Its workflow system allows administrators and developers to define what needs to occur when certain events happen. This can ensure that processes happen in the correct sequence.
TOPdesk includes a vast API system to allow for external systems to integrate with it, and for TOPdesk to communicate with external systems.
We love QByte's intuitive and mobile-friendly interface. It is super simple to use. The QByte AI team has done a great job of bringing simplicity to complex tasks, making our daily operations smoother and more efficient.
We are very content with the application. We use it now for 1 year and we are still learning. We still discover new features withing the application that help improve our efficiency and customer-friendliness and reduce costs. We feel like we can still improve the use of TOPdesk within our organisation and make more use of more modules.
QByte AI is a game changer. Unlike other maintenance or facility management products, you don't need documentation to understand how the product works. My team & I love its mobile first design and we find it super intuitive & fun to use. The coPilot is weaved into the product which makes access to reports and manuals super easy and intuitive
Sometimes I think some things are hard to find. I often do not know if I have to search in Settings or in Modules. In some cases the user has to do a lot of clicks for example to link a key to a user. Something could work a little smarter.
Like I said somewhere else in this review: the helpdesk of TOPdesk is top of the bill! In the Netherlands, that is. I can not plea for the helpdesks in other countries, but I guess the TOPdesk organization will make sure the quality of the helpdesk is the same in every country.
Although being a SAAS solution, TOPdesk performs pretty fast. One can imagine that any SAAS solution is slow or has hiccups, but we have not experienced such with TOPdesk. Pages load quickly, logging in goes smoothly. We have made reports on premise in the past - that always took some time, as you might expect with such complex tasks. It seems that in the SAAS solution TOPdesk somehow has managed to make it even faster!
Most if not nearly all questions are answered within the same or a few days. The helpdesk is very knowledgable about their product and are always willing to help. The only downside is that for more difficult questions it can take a while due to the experts being further removed from the helpdesk. But they are always willing to answer questions, even if they are not directly related to a problem with the service.
We had Topdesk in-house here training staff for almost a month (2-3 hour meetings 3x a week.) It was invaluable and we were able to take that training and share with the rest of our IT staff. Once implemented we were able to fly from there. The challenges we found were in how to get started. Once started the knowledge base offered from Topdesk has been invaluable.
Online training documentation is easy to access and consume. There is no real challenges with finding information on how to use the product and some really helpful knowledge base items that show us how valuable these options are in our own implementation of it. The online training we've used has been self driven
It was a challenge to port over years of the same thing and we ended up keeping old ideas in Topdesk that we will eventually weed out as time passes and we learn how users view categories and flows of tickets. Planning is key but bear in mind that just because you used to do it this way doesn't mean you still have to
Spiceworks is an easier-to-use Help Desk solution but it lacks all other features that Topdesk has. Freshdesk was just too much for our environment. It was cost-prohibitive for our intended use. TOPdesk fit our org size and budget better than the others.
Topdesk is a saas solution. As far as we can notice, there are no scalability problems. We are a small organization, so performance issues are for now not an issue
