Perfect on-premise and opensource helpdesk software

We used freshdesk before and had to book the paid version because we want to use the API to align our help desk with our CRM System. But we would prefer to have an on-premise solution therefore we looked for an alternative.
As we found zammad it totally surprises us. Self-hosted, super stable, easy to use, if you don't need support even free to use... We love it.

Pros

First of all I love Zammad because it is a self-hosted and opensource software. After some month of working with zammad I love the ease of use and the flexible text modules. I need only seconds to answer one of our standard questions.

Cons

There is nothing that is really bad. One thing that could be improved would be the automatic emails. These are not customizable or at least it is not that easy to customize them.

Alternatives Considered

Help Scout and Zendesk Suite

Reasons for Choosing Zammad

Zammad can be self-hosted, has a great api and is free to use as we don't need any support.

Ticketing 2021

We use Zammad to manage IT Tickets within our company. Zammad is simple to use and setup and helps us manage all related communications within time

Pros

Coming from OTRS the concept behind the software is easily captured.
Multiple input channels - web, SMS, twitter, you name it!
A modern user interface that is easy to set up and use, including tools like precise reports.
And, hey, there is a Knowledge Base implemented!

Cons

There sure is some air upward, but at the moment I do not see any Cons

Gutes Ticketsystem mit kleinen Schwächen

Im Gesamten ein gutes Ticketsystem. Es ist leicht einzurichten und die Funktionen sind mehr als ausreichend.

Pros

Gute Übersichtlichkeit durch eigene Übersichten. Einfach zu erstellende Workflows und Automatismen.

Cons

Tickets die auf warten stehen öffnen sich leider nicht automatisch nach Ablaufen der Zeit. Mehre Signaturen nur umständlich einrichtbar.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Choosing Zammad

OTRS war für uns zu unübersichtlich. Die Starre Oberfläche gefiel uns nicht mehr.

Switched From

Reasons for Switching to Zammad

Reine Preisentscheidung. Freshdesk war für unsere Zwecke einfach zu teuer.
