Reviews of InvGate Service Desk
This the best Helpdesk cloud based software
Comments: We were a company which, being a provider of IT services, presented many problems associated with the service to our external clients, which is why after defining a strategy for the implementation of a help desk. After evaluating several solutions from the market, we made the decision to use Invgate Servicedesk since in addition to being aligned with ITIL, it allows the implementation of a service table in a quick and friendly way, the reports are quite detailed and the best is the gamification.
Pros:
Currently we are working to relaunch our help desk, because after the good reception of the clients we saw the need to adjust several additional options of the product.
Cons:
No Mobile App available for the users Android and IOS
Stunningly beautiful yet powerful!
Comments:
We wanted a Service Desk solution that is easy to use and yet can accomodate complex workflow, InvGate Service Desk can answer all of these.
I have used ServiceNow & Heat, those products are very verbose in terms of wording. InvGate SD is concise less word but more to usable actions.
I would recommend this highly to other people looking for ITSM solution.
Pros:
- Easy to setup and easy to understand on daily usage, the relations between grouping, help desk and catalog is superb. - Query builder is the one I like most, consistency across the system, you learn once and you can use similar familiar query. - Gamification is fun!
Cons:
Built-in integrations to other platform or service is somewhat rather limited. But workaround for webcall and inbound API is welcome.
Alternatives Considered: ServiceNow Customer Service Management
Reasons for Choosing InvGate Service Desk: Too complex, cluttered menu and hurt my eyes.

InvGate Service Desk Review
Comments: InvGate is a pretty good product overall. There are a lot of little annoyances, but if they were to fix these, it could be a pretty great product.
Pros:
Affordable Easy to setup Ability to use variables when creating a ticket Ability to add observers and collaborators to a ticket Easy to do things like reassign and escalate
Cons:
No Due Date field unless you use SLAs No ability to delete a comment or edit a comment If you add a comment before selecting Solve (which ultimately closes the ticket), you have to enter your solution again and select Solve for your solution to show up as the resolution If you added a comment to a ticket when the owner has an out of office notification turned on in their email, the out of office email would create a new ticket When printing out a lit of tickets for a user, the font is so small, it's hard to read. Took me a while to come up with a roundabout way to do it so that it was easily readable. Each comment in a ticket doesn't have the day and time the comment was made. You get more general time stamps like "14 hours ago", "2 weeks ago", or "a month ago". Would be useful to know the date and time so that you can tell if something was done at the end of the day or the beginning.
Service Desk has made our support manageable
Comments: Despite it not being perfect, Service Desk has changed our support queue from being unmanageable to having everything tracked in one place, with time stamps and a request is never missed. Setup could be easier, but once complete, I would highly recommend this to a company looking to streamline their end-user support.
Pros:
-Very good end-user experience -Never miss a request -Integration with JIRA -Application integration (widgets)
Cons:
-Setup is tedious -Getting the correct permissions for all agents/users is a frustrating experience -Somewhat confined to canned reports with little customization
Alternatives Considered: Zendesk Suite
Reasons for Switching to InvGate Service Desk: It integrated with our existing Atlassian Suite
Service Desk Invgate
Pros:
It is a visually beautiful tool. The operation is intuitive. It is easy to install and configure
Cons:
it would be missing that the entry of the initial information of the users in the requirements is improved
Alternatives Considered: BMC Helix ITSM and System Center
Reasons for Choosing InvGate Service Desk: a specialized service desk tool was needed
Switched From: JIRA Service Management
Reasons for Switching to InvGate Service Desk: for the relation price and product quality
