Each ticket is managed precisely, and I can automate almost everything, maintaining perfect order without duplicate or unmanaged information that could be forgotten.
Pros: Since I started using OTRS, what impressed me most is that it's not just a shared email inbox; it's a complete ticketing and help desk system where all requests are received in an organized manner, prioritized, and managed with clear statuses, assignments, and follow-ups. Every time a request arrives, OTRS converts it into a ticket with a unique ID, probably the most useful feature for preventing anything from getting lost or duplicated. This ensures nothing is forgotten and allows for accurate workflow tracking. For our team, this is a huge relief: increased productivity and less monotony. Its price is commensurate with its quality and value, guaranteeing the security of all stored information and an efficient customer support team.
Cons: It has a steep learning curve; it's not one of those systems you just "turn on and go." It takes time to understand how its workflows work and configure it properly, but it's a learning curve worth taking on the challenge of mastering all its features.

Used the community edition since version 3 and eventually made the move to the cloud product where we don't have to host it ourselves. That has increased performance and the migration was seemless.
Pros: A better than average support tool for our service team. We use this as our core ticketing system and internal servicing tool. Started with the community edition - which was great quality for the price. Moved to the cloud version recently and have been impressed. All the standard features of a ticketing system are available. The license fee is reasonable and all-inclusive.
Cons: The interface takes a little getting to used to at first. Our initial training time was longer than expected. Once users are proficient in the tool, it flows naturally - just takes longer to get started on day 1.

On est loin de Jira. Chef de projet passer votre chemin si recevoir vos reporting, le tout formaté en mode powerpoint sans aucune intervention de votre part ... OTRS ne fait pas ca. Il fait par contre tout le reste pour les équipes terrains ... et ca pour 0 euros ...
Pros: Open source avec possibilité de mep nous-même nos propres features. Pas simple mais une fois le fonctionnement général compris c'est fonctionnel
Cons: Il donne parfois l'impression d'être d'une autre époque. Son IHM est austère, les fonctionnalités sont minimalistes. Il est simple mais nettement suffissant pour le quotidien
José J. · Chef de service · Computer Software · November 11, 2024

OTRS is a powerful and flexible ticketing system, however, it comes with a steep learning curve and requires a solid understanding of its functionalities to fully leverage its capabilities.
Pros: It is highly customizable and has a lot of powerful ticket management features.

Emilia S. · IT Administrator · Information Technology and Services · October 10, 2024

Cons: Actually there is nothing that I don't like about this platform,but Incase your browser crashes,your whole content on the update will not be cached.

I had the opportunity to use the OTRS ticket system and would like to share my experience. Overall, the use of the system was positive, but there were also some aspects that, in my opinion, could be improved. The user interface is well-designed and significantly facilitates ticket management. The ability to integrate plugins enhances functionality and allows for customization to meet specific requirements. Unfortunately, I encountered challenges regarding adaptability. It was not as flexible as I would have liked, and options for layout customization could be improved. Better customization options would enhance user-friendliness. Overall, I rate the OTRS ticket system with a score of 5/10. It provides solid core features, but limitations in adaptability and the need for layout improvements impact the overall experience. I hope that future updates will address these aspects and further optimize the system's performance.
Pros: Clear user interface, plugin capability provided.
Cons: oor adaptability, layout could be more appealing, inflexible

Daisy J. · Employee · Arts and Crafts · June 27, 2023
Pros: Man hat sehr viele Freiheiten innerhalb des Systems. Für Kunden ist es gut nutzbar und für Agenten kommt es sicherlich an eine Warenwirtschaftssystem ran.
Cons: Man wird ständig gezwungen bzw. genötigt, auf die nächsthöhere Version zu wechseln.Zudem kann man sich gegen die grobe Struktur überhaupt nicht wehren. Wenn etwas festgelegt ist, dann ist es festgelegt.
