Happy with Happy Fox!
Reviewed on 2018/09/20
Pros
What I like most about the software is the ease of its interface. You do not have to look through pages and pages of different stuff, your tickets are right in front of you when you log in!
Cons
The only Con that I experienced with this software is the ticket response were directly sent to the users junk folder. After contacting local support they were able to adjust the settings and solve the issue.

I have found Happyfox an exception ticketing system, but, strong customer support. It has greatly increased the efficiency and productivity of our team.
Pros
Happyfox sets out what it is meant to do - a strong, automated ticketing system.
Happyfox can be quickly setup, has a strong support team, and is constantly working on improvements.
Some of the best features of the software include customization of categories (ticket fields, contacts), a sleek and clean UI for administrators, built-in Knowledge Base, automatic ticketing, recurring tickets, ticket threading, and multiple ticket intake (email, widiget, login).
Cons
A lot of the newer features are limited to the top tier pricing bracket which means, starting out with the lower level limits the features.
It is limited ticketing and providing a knowledge base. Some of the newer features including project management and asset management is a little light, but, definitely improvements on turning Happyfox into a fully fledged ITSM.

The service is good in a lot of things but lack of fundamental tools and performance. Too hard to manage, lots of bugs and no updates. The staff is amazing but the service don't follow.
I'm jumping of this service and now and I'm in a nightmare because cannot export the data to anything. Neither in cvs. Only incomplete tickets and all my work history is unreacheable.
Leaving the service very very very disapointed.
Pros
- Plenty of integrations
- Very customizable
- The support is very good, they don't mind to spend time until your problem is solved
Cons
- Smartphone App is terrible, ticket response not intuitive, lots of steps to accomplish simple tasks
- Customization is very painful, not intuitive, complex, little bugs in several functions
- Expensive against other similar products
- No updates, development is stuck for years now (monolithic service)
- Reports don't work, it's is impossible to extract relevant data about overall performance
- Cannot export tickets in full, only the original fist message (this is very disappointing)
- Faced several downtime in which was impossible to access the platform and manage tickets

HappyFox Help Desk - Best for ticketing system
Reviewed on 2022/10/24
Pros
Happyfox has turned out to be a boon for us. Our task mangement became very easy after installation. We get clients requests on Happyfox which we are able to manage and resolve effectively. It has great user interface and customer support was incredible during installation and troubleshoot.
Cons
There is nothing to point out here. Just one suggestion to include insights about tickets like how many tickets closed, in how much time, who was the most effective performer, etc. This will also help in improving team performance.

We've been using Happyfox for the past three years. It is used to create and track tickets for issues concerning Information Technology, Timesheets and Human Resource problems. We've been extremely happy using this product. The reporting features of this product are an extremely valuable tool and well worth the cost of the software.
Pros
Great product, with a simple user interface and powerful customization features. Allows for the building of Knowledge Bases and thorough tracking of all type of issues facing the end user. Will allow the users to open up ticket with their email package,
Cons
I've yet to see anything negative about this software.

"happy" with Happy Fox
Reviewed on 2018/12/30
Pros
With a ton of new features, Happyfox is a step above the rest for ticketing and knowledge bases. Some key features/pros are -
Support request from multiple channels.
Tiered agent/administrator roles
Automation features - auto ticket creation, time spent, canned actions, etc.
Great integration options with other software
Custom SLA and Reporting tools.
Cons
The tool to build out knowledge Base articles is a little lackluster. it can be tedious to build out the KBs. It looks like most future enhancements are also being placed at a higher pay tier.

Even though our reports were a bit of a chore setting up, HappyFox customer service was quick in answering any questions and gave us solutions in a timely manner. We are now able to put a time on how much we spend trouble-shooting and project time.
Pros
This software was very easy to implement and use. We now have the ability to pull metrics and keep track of member inquires with ease!
Cons
Reports can be a bit hard to create but customer service was always there to help.

Pros
It has enabled us to have multiple representatives handing the incoming emails for 1 email address.
Cons
I wish that there were better spam filters. We have had to manually set up a lot of rules to weed of spam, which can lead to other issues.

The Happyfox software is easy to use and does what it says. We are able to easily manage our tickets and track our time.
Cons
The thing I liked the least about the software is the user interface. It didn't affect functionality at all and really wasn't that bad, but it could be better.

Before choosing HappyFox Helpdesk, our support team had no way to quantify the issues, pain points, and feature requests other than anecdotally in team meetings. Adopting Helpdesk has allowed me to share a complete support picture over time to the developers and administrators that keep us on track to achieve the 100% customer satisfaction with the support process that our customers are currently reporting, based on the automated after-action customer survey.
Pros
The most important feature about HappyFox is the support that the team provides 24/7. I am an administrator in a small company and decidedly not a programmer. When I originally set up Helpdesk I was a novice in how each part fit together to create a whole solution with meaningful KB, Ticketing, Categories, and Automation. The Support Team spent many hours coaching me through this process to achieve a very useful set of tools for our customers.
Cons
I like most everything about the HappyFox Help Desk and HappyFox Chat applications. The initial setup was painful and required some back-ed programming to support the way in which I wanted the Support Center page layout to appear. The support staff at HappyFox tell me that a new release of HelpDesk includes tools that simplify the UI whereby the Administrator can change the way in which items, articles, products and sections are displayed.

We use HappyFox primarily to keep the marketing team organized. Our team runs across multiple states and varies from in-club marketing directors to the corporate team. Using HappyFox is helpful because it allows the corporate and in-club teams to efficiently communicate and delegate tasks between the appropriate individuals.
Pros
I cannot tell you how nice it is to have ONE platform to assign and delegate tasks! The minute a ticket is created, we are able to assign it to the correct person without things getting lost in the shuffle. Our productivity has greatly increased since launching this platform across our organization's internal team!
Cons
This is very petty, but I'm not a huge fan of the interface design. With a name like HappyFox (and the cute fox logo!) I'd expect it to be prettier.
Also, I don't like how tickets are created from out of office responders or junk emails. Those are one-off occasions but still annoying.

Cons
There were a few UI controls we would have liked to have, but didn’t want to pay extra for. But it’s a small sacrifice for a big savings

Game changer when it comes to organizing our applicants questions and concerns.
Reviewed on 2018/07/27
Pros
It is so nice to be able to organize all of our applicants' questions into one software. It makes it very easy for us to keep track of which questions have been answered and which ones have not. It also lets us assign questions to different team members to make sure they get done quickly and efficiently.
Cons
It would be nice to allow us to be able to include completed applications to this software as well. We use DocuSign and they come into our Outlook when they are completed. It would be nice to sync it with HappyFox so we can assign this task to team members as well. Other than that, this software is great.

A Simple but elegant HelpDesk Solution
Reviewed on 2015/02/20
Pros
The product is entirely web-based. However, it's still possible to respond to tickets via email. Replies to ticket emails automatically get delivered to the appropriate person. Any number of automatic responses can be set up to streamline self help articles and assign tickets to certain technicians. Round robin auto-assignment ensures that every ticket that hits the help desk has an owner. Categories can be set up to create buckets for different types of problems. Smart Rules are extremely useful and allow various actions to be preformed based on the contents of messages and age of tickets.
Cons
Functionality can be lacking, but I haven't found a problem I haven't been able to solve in a more round about way. I do wish more in-depth reporting could be done. What is there, is useful, but I wouldn't mind being able to customize it more.

We find that clients are much more likely to submit a ticket for a problem rather than post-it notes on your door or stopping you in the hall with a problem. Definitely has helped to provide timely problem resolution.
Pros
Easy to use for clients to submit support tickets either via email or the HappyFox portal. Technicians find it very convenient to respond to tickets in a timely manner.
Cons
Would like more flexibility in creating and exporting reports.

We looked at many ticket type support systems, and HappyFox is by far the best for us. We didn't want customers to have to login, create an account, submit tickets, etc. to get help. We just wanted them to send an email, and HappyFox does that. The customer never needs to log into the HappyFox site to get help, everything happens through email.
Pros
Support from HF is great, easy interface, very intuitive.
Cons
Every email sent to the registered address creates a ticket, some by accident - such as email bounce backs. But we delete those and move on.
