Recommendations for a web based trouble ticketing system

The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

8.1
We've been using helpdeskconnect.com for our trouble ticketing system.  It is cheap, and so far has worked pretty well, although it isn't the greatest for reporting.  It is a hosted version of the open-source/free system called Trouble Ticket Express.  

The problem is that we have missing tickets in the system, and last month I was at 51 hours after two weeks, and now it shows 34 hours.  We bill between $85-100/hr for these tickets, so this is not good.  Their support people have not been as responsive as we had hoped, and I'm using this system for another business as well, which makes me nervous.

What are some more robust systems that are professional grade out there that you would recommend?  Our system needs to track time worked by technicians for each ticket, and the ability to run reports for each company for invoicing, and each technician for compensation.  Oh yeah, it has to be ACCURATE all of the time.  It should be web based, so our customers can open their own tickets, and would ideally have the ability for us to customize it a little to be branded with our logos and such.

Cost is a factor (this is for two home-based consultants), but it is more important that it works.  We could host it ourselves, if necessary.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!
