Happy with it

  • As a single freelance consultant Sherpadesk has exceptional ROI because it's free but if my company had more support people I would definetly go with SherpaDesk again.

A newbie's perspective

Pros

  • Easy for the end user to navigate
  • Integrates well with our Google systems
  • Has a fairly good phone app

Cons

  • Its ability to switch between tickets, assets, etc., is a little clunky. A static menu bar would be helpful.
  • The ability to see the latest update in the ticket view.
