If you are seriously evaluating all the help desk software out there and if last two contenders on your list of help desk software are ServiceDesk Plus and Track-IT. The last thing you should do is listen to my advice :-)….for that matter any advice from Track-IT employee. Yes. I work for ServiceDesk Plus and I will tell ServiceDesk Plus is the best. honestly 🙂
The best people to get advice from would be IT managers, Help desk administrators and technicians who have been in your exact point you are standing and have taken a decision.
They can give an independent unbiased opinion because they don’t care if it is ServiceDesk Plus or Track-IT. They care If

It is intuitive and easy to use

| If you’ve been following this blog you know that last December we finally gave up searching for the ultimate helpdesk solution and went with Track-IT. And you may recall my frustration at it’s lack of email thread capture which we’ve determined is a must have.So we’ve been keeping our eyes and ears peeled for a good replacement for Track-IT … tonight I think we may have found it!- ManageEngine Service Desk Plus…………Cost for the full blown is based on # of techs … $495/yr for 2 techs … $995/yr for 5 techs … etc. For comparison based on 5 techs, we could get about 5 years of ServiceDeskPlus for 1year of Track-IT . ……
……We’ll get the trial installed and put it through it’s paces … I’m optimistic given what I’ve seen so far that this will be our new helpdesk solution .. |
More Track-IT users

We have recently switched from TI6 to SD and are more than happy with the product.

| The last version of TI we used was 6 and that was enough, expensive, problems and the STD version was very inefficient and slow.SD is growing and developing, there are a few things that we would like added and the team have responded on these. Reporting is lacking, I understand that this is under review, however we use Business Objects for reporting now which gives us all the flexibility we need. |

| Tested product and seems to work great. Still setting up the help desk process, but as for getting asset information on desktops & servers, it works exactly as advertised. No client intstalls, no agents. As long as WMI is in working order, you get an accurate software inventory. Compared to Track-IT’s bungling of inventory management, it’s hands down the winner.That is the only sw, I can compare it to because I’ve used track-it for about 2years. |

We had to build an automated data migration tool to move Track-It users’ data to ServiceDesk Plus ………… so now you know how many of them are migrating 🙂
