We are a web hosting service where customer support is of prime importance. We needed an easy to handle help desk software that helped with communicating with our customers. Previously we tried Kayako, but after we switched to Vision Helpdesk we hardly had any security issues. It is easy to install and our staff could easily use it which improved response time. We have been using Vision Helpdesk for six years, so I will give a 10/10 to this software in terms of usability, cost and security.
  • Ticket handling and Ticket Labeling.
  • We can offer anonymous white label support to our reseller hosting customers using their Satellite helpdesk feature.
  • The Blabby feature has been helpful to our staff members in terms of sharing knowledge or discussing any client issues internally to offer a fast resolution to customer issues.
Cons
  • Chat feature.
  • Remote desktop.
  • Get more integration with other software and Mobile apps.
Vision Helpdesk helps with multiple company support and offers an excellent Blabby feature. Another great addition they have made to this software is a service desk with an ITIL /ITSM feature. This helps with our our multi-location office requirements issues.
  • Most cost-effective help desk software I have researched from Kayako to SAAS [products] like Zendesk.
  • We got more features and easy customization done with Vision Helpdesk which where not possible for Zendesk and Kayako was too costly.
  • Ticket tracking has been easier and faster with Vision Helpdesk; for our web hosting business we prefer a download version which is not possible with SAAS help desk providers ( Zendesk or Freshdesk).
We have personally used Kayako for couple of years, but it lacks in terms of features and is very costly compared to Vision Helpdesk and has less features.We have [used] trials of Zendesk but it is SAAS based with many restrictions. Vision Helpdesk can offer a multi-company satellite help desk feature which is not offered by any other download version customer support product. Vision HelpDesk offers a Blabby feature which is another unique feature. One of the most important factors is it costs much less than any other help desk software provider when compared to the the features they offer.

Make your customers and employees happy:)

Our company provides computer, tablet and mobile service for end-users and are planning to get some business customers. We needed a good-looking platform for answering questions, managing problems and supporting our clients. We use it primarily to lower telephone calls and make e-mail responses more comfortable and not to forget about them. So we use the Vision Helpdesk system for managing tickets between first line support and tech service.
  • The best thing for us - the timer. It's really cool. We can start the timer and end it when support finishes. It's very important for working with other companies we give support for.
  • Good-looking, with good visualisation and usability dashboard.
  • Ticket transfer between support users, comments, ticket printing.
  • The best price and functionality, comparing to other help desks.
  • Support. Best support I have seen on internet. Helped with setup, and helped with few minor questions.
Cons
  • Integration with prestashop
  • Customising PDF export
  • Possibility to get custom SMS API
We like timer feature, it's a good thing for working with clients.

  • User-friendly, understandable design
I tried many different help desk systems, but finally I choose Vision Helpdesk as it is most affordable for a small business or small companies. As we are from Latvia, it is very hard to make business with lack of money. But we wanted to get a good product - it is the best choice. Best functionality for money, compared to other help desk systems. Very friendly support.

We are quite a small company, we are two, who have contact with end-users, admin and tech. Some questions we can post in the knowledge base, some documentation in the download section. In future we are planing to connect more people for contacting and getting the next plan of Vision Helpdesk to administrate more of our customer companies.

We are a NGO and receiving a lot of emails from our clients. It is very difficult to organize the email traffic when you use the normal email client. Now we can login with more than one employee and have better communication with our clients.
  • Ticketing - We can communicate with more employees on Vision Helpdesk and with our clients. Emails are organized and professionally structured. People now know that we are a more professional NGO.
  • The advantage of using the social media plugins are a must! Previously we were commanded to login each time on a social media platform to check any mentioning or messages. Now it is all integrated in our new platform, Vision Helpdesk.
Cons
  • An iOS app xD..
  • Vision Helpdesk is a complete platform with a lot of features. The point is that we are a NGO and are not using all the features at all.
I think that Vision Helpdesk is a good alternative for the other products, like Kayako or Freshdesk. Vision Helpdesk is for the smallest companies and [for] the biggest companies it is a good solution.

  • Better communication. Organized.
  • Client structuring.
Vision Helpdesk was more open for an NGO while the other companies were more attended on the "big-money", which we don't have as an NGO. Second point is that Vision Helpdesk is very easy and simple to use. Not too much installation, programming etc.
