Hi all,

Looking at alternatives for the helpdesk/training system we currently have in place.

We've got a moodle platform running as a knowledgebase, downloadable documents, a few quizes etc. It does the job but it's messy, overly complicated and a pain in the backside to customise.

We've also got a helpdesk system built into an existing internal website but it is purely:

raise ticket
can comment back and forth
close

There's no wiki style FAQ system allowing people to solve their own problems. Tickets are easy to sort through, prioritise etc. It's very basic, so basic only 1-2% of all tasks are put through it, most are email, text, phone.

What options are out there (paid and opensource) that would allow me to setup a helpdesk with proper problem management, tracking, SLAs, permissions, FAQ's AND allow me to develop a proper training platform for internal training including inductions etc.

Is there such a thing?
 
Spiceworks probally can do most of that, TrackIT was able to do that but not used that in a few years, last job used MangeEngine helpdesk which was ok

Current job we use bespoke system so that is no help, but we use internal wiki for FAQ etc
 
we use service now at work its not to bad, but does cost.
i wouldnt recomend creating something only because headach galor and time consuming and can create additional pressure for you when its not working right.. or at all!
