Choosing Service Desk software: tickets, SLA and customer portal

Evaluate ticket management, SLA, customer portal and CSAT for your team. A selection checklist based on a support request.

Start with the request journey

Write the steps from a customer reporting an issue to receiving its resolution. Who receives it, who owns it and when is the customer updated? Evaluate software by how clearly it supports the journey as well as its feature count.

Review SLA and satisfaction separately

SLA tracks service targets, while CSAT helps understand experience. A ticket meeting its time target may still receive a low score due to an incomplete explanation. Reviewing both provides better context.

Test with an example request

Try a scenario where a customer cannot access a portal. If development is required, assess how work reaches the project team. Review the portal through the customer’s steps, not only the administrator’s screen.

  1. Check ticket capture and assignment.
  2. Follow service targets and customer updates.
  3. Review satisfaction feedback after resolution.
