I&#x27;m looking for a flexible and easy to use helpdesk software with email and team support (saas or self-hosted).<p>Which is your favorite? What do you love? And what do you hate?

I work at Help Scout, and it&#x27;s a great hosted sass tool. But you shouldn&#x27;t just pick the first one you hear about.<p>I wrote a guide to making the right choice of help desk tool for your own situation: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.helpscout.net&#x2F;blog&#x2F;choosing-help-desk-software&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.helpscout.net&#x2F;blog&#x2F;choosing-help-desk-software&#x2F;</a><p>Useful to think through before you invest time or money.

My last company switched to samanage which was ok. They had a couple of nice features like an asset inventory, workflows so that we could create onboarding&#x2F;offboarding and it would send emails to HR and helpdesk. We did need to purchase another solution to do AD authentication though, which was a downer. I&#x27;ve also used Jira Service Desk, of which the killer feature was that it had git integration, which I had a hard time finding in competitors. Honestly there are tons of choices out there. General features you should be looking for are: SSO, reports, customizable self service flows

We use helpscout. Great product that keeps it simple.<p>We used groovehq.com before as well, but helpscout is more polished and have a better mobile app
