BossDesk is a good software for companies needing to manage their tickets

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Really enjoy the ease of use and creation of service items and workflow routing. You can build workflows from a lot of different ticket attributes which allows for lots of customization in specific ticket routing.

Cons:

During our business processes moving more towards ITIL guidelines, there wasn't a lot of ways for us to move our processes into more ITIL frameworks.

BOSSDesk a win/win cost effective service desk management system

5.0 9 months ago

Pros:

The ease of use on this application can not be stressed enough. After initial setup, the application can be as simple or complex as you need for a range of uses. The team at BOSS really strives to help you get your needed setup.

Cons:

The only flaws I have seen are occasionally having software or hardware system issues, however, BOSS support is quick to respond and usually resolves faster than any other software vendor I have dealt with.

A good helpdesk solution for any size workplace.

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: So far, we have a good experience with the product and plan on continuing to use it for the foreseeable future.

Pros:

We currently use the hosted version of BossDesk and it has worked very well. We can log in from anywhere and there is also an app for our phones. The UI is customizable with few limitations. The reporting functions are good. Inventory management (which we are just starting to use) is pretty good also, with APIs for Dell and Lenovo. The ticketing system is the "bread and butter" it works well and has decent workflow options.

Cons:

We wish the "customer" UI was a little more customizable so we could add some info and change the sizing but that is not a deal breaker.

BOSSDesk, Nothing But Best

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: My overall experiences with BOSSDesk has been wonderful during the time. We didn't get an upgrade until the Summer of 2024. I am retiring and haven't had the chance to really work with BOSSDesk. The time I worked with this upgrade, it has been very good for our Municipal Government.

Pros:

This software helps the Service Desk to keep up the problems that the end users are having. It is equipped to run reports to keep up the problems that are occurring every cycle. It is storage software that keeps up with data when a user stated we didn't assist them and we have the information in the ticket on the steps with assisted with the user. I recommend this software to any company.

Cons:

There are nothing least about this software. I didn't stay longer enough to use the upgrade of this software.

Pros:

Always can find new ways to leverage BossDesk to do more.

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: BossDesk is providing us with a solid ticketing system. The additional features like being able to turn emails into tickets makes this product very useful.

Pros:

The software is easy to use and allows you to create customizable service requests, which has proven to be VERY helpful. There are a lot of features associated with BossDesk that allow you to feed into the application with email or Google, and this has proven to be a game changer for us. We can create a "comment" in a Google doc and use the Boss postbox feature to create a ticket off of this comment. We also can have a piece of IT equipment email a ticket into Boss when there is an outage. There are a lot of little integrations like these two examples that extend the usefulness of the application.

Cons:

BossDesk has a dashboard with widgets that display ticket counts and allows you to open a view of those tickets - I wish it could use "custom" fields from the service requests to create dashboard items. Also, management would like to see more reporting features. All in all, still not too much downside to BossDesk.

BOSSDesk Review

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: We have had nothing but a very good experience with BOSSDesk. Easy to navigate, easy to manage, and if need help from BOSS they have a very fast responsive team who are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Pros:

BOSSDESK is easy to utilize not just for administrators for our end users as well. It also provides reports to identify areas of improvement throughout our company.

Cons:

Providing more reports automatically after we set them up would be a time saver but depends on the product your company has. We are in the process of updating.

One of the Best Helpdesk and asset management software packages I've used

5.0 8 years ago

Comments: We have been a Boss customer for about a year and a half now. The software works as advertised and the Support for the product is phenomenal. No matter what we want or need changed or ask, it is promptly taken care of and handled with professionalism. I cant say enough about customer support as they are always responsive and open to new ideas and concepts on improving the product not just for us but all their customers. Our ideas and needs are always considered seriously and we have seen the product evolve and change to meet whatever needs we may have as well as anticipate future needs.

Pros:

Ease of use and customization

Cons:

Reporting is a little less than inspiring but has definitely improved and the new version coming looks much better in this regard
