One aspect of Freescout which we appreciate very much coming from a very top heavy and overbuilt system is how light Freescout is on server and browser resources. Freescout is the only open source helpdesk written in PHP and simple enough to administer for a small business. The other open source solutions are either hideous and ugly or so overwrought that installing and maintaining a working install would almost require hiring another server admin with specialised knowledge.

3 months ago, we moved Piwigo support tickets manager to FreeScout. I have to admit that this is a very good decision! I’m really happy with FreeScout. Easy to install, crazy fast user interface, 1-click updates. I strongly recommend it.
