What do you like best about Web+Center?

Easy to quickly log and categorize calls. It can be daunting to log in calls after having a non-stop busy day, but even if one has several items to log it is extremely quick and easy. It's snappy, and never has issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Web+Center?

The keyword search function could use a little work. I feel like the results are a little too broad when I am trying to search for something specific; I would prefer less results that are more narrowed down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Web+Center:

The price is great for a low amount of users; however, it gets relatively more expensive to have multiple users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Web+Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Web+Center for issue tracking. Whenever we have a call or issue, it is noted in Tech+Center. Makes it easy to find solutions to problems when they have happened before. Also great to show what work has gotten done in a given day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Web+Center?

The support is the best! It has great customization capability, LDAP security capability, ODBC connectivity if you want to expand you reporting capability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Web+Center?

Some might not like the need for some ASP programming to customize, but instructions are pretty clear for those who have little or no knowledge in the language, and the support is excellent. They will help you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Web+Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have three licenses. Web-Center is used for our major IT jobs and requests. It helps us to organize and prioritize our future and on-going IT workload for three companies (foundries.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At this time I am finding nothing that I dislike. I might have a few suggestions for additions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Web+Center:

All I can say is it works for me. Install was fairly simple as was configuration. To install on premise you will need someone who has some experience IIS, and maybe a little database experience but all in all

install instructions were well written and easy to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Web+Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Web+Center?

I have used the Web+ Center software for a few years now in a office support role, working for a small IT consulting company. The software is simple, reliable and always works. I never have problems with it where I need to bother anyone in the office to figure anything out. The tech guy in the office has been able to customize the software to give it a more personal feel for the company (our own logo, etc.). Unlike other pieces of software, I never have to wait when updating, submitting or transferring a ticket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Web+Center?

The user interface is more on the plain side and maybe isn't the most pretty system I've ever used, but then again, those flashy systems seem to be the ones where there are more issues and things go slower in general. I'll take the simple, reliable workhorse any day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Web+Center:

Everyone should try to look at a few different software packages to make the best decision about what to go with. I've used different systems in previous roles and they were either too complicated or too slow. Web+Center's strong suit is it's simplicity. It isn't an overly complex package which makes it reliable and fast. Sometimes flashy isn't always best, go for reliable as that's the most important thing when you depend on a piece of business software daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Web+Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use the product to help enter case notes for our techs, handle the billing for customers and keep track of assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Web+Center?

I Like the Fact that you can Customize the help desk to your needs and that fact its not heavy coding that is required to make the changes. The Assets Assignment is also a create tool in the system.

I also like the fact that you can simple backup the database by just making a copy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Web+Center?

The reports page has no customization and difficult to manage.

Also changing of the colour of the system is also difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Web+Center:

I would recommend this product to any IT Administrator. The ease of setup and the amount of functions you can customize makes this application very useful.

It is also very light on resources so can be setup practically on any machine or server

I have also received AWESOME support even though im only using the Free Version

Thank you Web+Centre Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Web+Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am Using the Help desk as a full management system for the IT department.

I manage Assets,Tickets and make use of the customer login for both browser and mobile

The benefit of the Product to my department is the fact that the system does not require a lot of training in terms of administration and implementation. Once you enable the email to case feature the system becomes very user friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Web+Center?

One of the greatest features is that the software package is fully functional from the initial installation. Due to the fact that it is written in ASP, customization is very easy for anyone who has performed web programming. Ticketing, asset inventory control, projects where you can bind multiple tickets under a common location and complete customer database are just a few items that included. Overall the software is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Web+Center?

I don't believe I can honestly say there is much of anything I do not like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Web+Center:

Installation is very easy following the detail installation instructions from Internet Software Sciences. You can simply grab a Windows machine and have it up and running within an hour. If you're looking for a feature rich software package that is easy to setup and configure. Download Web+Center! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Web+Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Web+Center as an IT department ticketing system. From the beginning it was discovered we would take the amount of time a technician is working each day, we can maintain a history of work performed and report generation is a snap. This software have made our life easier and more organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
