What do you like best about osTicket?

Simple layout and very easy to use, as well as setup and maintain. Also, open-source so plenty of support is available online both from the developers and third parties alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about osTicket?

Not great for a multi-site/multi-customer setup for an MSP, however as it was a free offering and only temporary this wasn't all that surprising. Could also benefit from better reporting functionality, though this is available via third-party add-ons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering osTicket:

Great for use as an internal ticketing solutions, but not necessarily if you're supporting multi-site customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is osTicket solving and how is that benefiting you?

A stop-gap ticketing system between bigger and better solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about osTicket?

osTicket can be self-hosted, so we don't have to depend on 3rd party services and unwanted changes as we can update at our own pace. A feature that we regularly use is adding additional collaborators to an opened ticket so someone more capable in the area can troubleshoot the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about osTicket?

The translations have problems applying to the email templates, so we had to rewrite all the templates by hand with our language. This bug is very old and is still not fixed on the newest version.

The software also doesn't have an official Docker image, so we had to roll our own image to keep it updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is osTicket solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use the system to centralize all the incoming support requests from phone calls, emails, and other media (like WhatsApp). The time to solve our client's problems has decreased since switching as we no longer have to check endless email chains. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about osTicket?

It was edittable according to our needs and we could change some features as we wanted. Even if we used the free version of this tool, it was good enough for the business we ran. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about osTicket?

It worked fine and well without any issues. We just had some issues but they were caused by our developers not the OsTicket itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is osTicket solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were keeping the tickets from the clients and updating them when necessary.

We used the free version but it was still good enough for our work. It was easy to control and keep updated the complaints, requests and updates that we got from the clients and our workmates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
