### "Probably Best Free Customer Support Platform ever." — 3.0/5

> **Giorgi** | *8 November 2016*
> 
> OSTicket is so far my beloved customer support system when it comes to free platforms and easy of use functionality. I have spent over 1 year of managing and using OsTicket with 18 different agents and 4 separate departments. Thus, I will share my review of the system below in few words. &#10;(Please note this is about the self-hosted package of OsTicket, not Cloud-based.)&#10;&#10;The main advantage of the system is its nature of being equipped with all the necessary functions to maintain the medium sized companies support platform. It is a convenient system to carry out daily support-related tasks, answer tickets, have an unlimited number of cases/departments/agents, etc. In terms of simplicity, OSTicket is really user-friendly and easy to use platform that perfectly realises its own purposes of being reliable ticketing system. It is easy to install and maintain, the internal admin and agent user face are user-friendly as well.&#10;&#10;The main disadvantage of the system might be its lack of statistical measurements. It was the main aspect I was lacking while using the OsTicket. It is really hard to get the valuable statistical data from OSTicket regarding the agents, their working levels, times, etc. Basically, there is just one simple page of "Statistics" that shows the quantity of the tickets and some basic stuff and that's all. Nothing else about the statistics. Furthermore, another disadvantage is its lack of social integration. The reason I decided to move my company to another platform was that I couldn't integrate the OsTicket with Facebook \&amp; Twitter platforms. There are other little disadvantages, however, not worth mentioning as they don't make a big different.&#10;&#10;All in all, if not the aforementioned disadvantages of the system, OSTicket would be one of the best solutions for the small and medium-sized companies' support system needs. However, as it's completely free I'm nothing but grateful to the developers who developed this wonderful system and share it for free.

> **Gustavo** | *29 July 2022* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It has an free option if you want to test it
> 
> **Cons**: Should be simpler, most companies don’t look for all the features so you may end paying for things you will never use

### "Leading open-source ticket management" — 5.0/5

> **Alfredo** | *17 April 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Once setup it is a very stable platform. All advanced ticket management features are available, including routing and templates.
> 
> **Cons**: Integrating into my workflow was challenging, since it would usually require developing a module by code.
