Reviews of ALVAO Service Desk
Alternatives Considered:
Simple yet powerful ticketing tool
Comments: It’s a really good ticketing tool that has everything we need, yet remains quite simple for end users. The technical support is also very friendly and helpful.
Pros:
Since it’s not a complex enterprise solution, it’s incredibly easy to set up and use. It’s helped us automate many of the routine tasks we used to do manually, and the system is also customisable, allowing us to tailor it to our needs. Overall, it’s a simple yet very powerful tool.
Cons:
I think there’s room for improvement on the dashboard, especially to add some metrics we’d like to see at a glance.
The best decision to obtain Alvao service desk
Comments: We used to handle ticketsthrough a shared mailbox. This caused a lot of confusion and inconsistencies in our daily work. Customers weren't satisfied, technicians weren't happy. That was all changed thanks to the tool. I want to thank the whole Alvao team for making such great products that have helped our company a lot, saving us both time and money.
Pros:
- clear automated processes incident, change and request management - ai capabilities and automated workflows - microsoft integrations such as Teams and Oulook - great licencing and easy to use - it is used in the entire company - good Powe Bi reports for easy overview - easy to use for users for raising a ticket - mobile access - good self-service portal, service catalogue, custom forms and fields that we can set up according to our very specific needs - amazing Alvao customer support and implementation - quick and easy for a good price
Cons:
- Knowledge base is weak - Search field should be also improved - More regular product upgrades/new version - not only once in a year
With Alvao servicedesk our users can completely rely on the IT department.
Comments: The solution allows us to be more efficient than we might otherwise be, and its user interface and features are far better than the previous ticket systems I have used. We can simply show our colleagues in the business which services we provide to them, under what conditions, and at what cost.
Pros:
ITIL compliant servicedesk provides a comfortable way how users can communicate with the IT department as a single point of contact. Ease of deployment, flexible and easy-to-use tool to manage not only IT operations. Alvao servicedesk has a great integration with MS Outlook which is a fantastic option that saves time and makes it more approachable.
Cons:
It's not always easy to do more complicated stuff. For example, JavaScript is available for customizations, but in quite a lot limited way.
