Keep Jitbit Help Desk, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Jitbit Help Desk you could make: help desk and help center. What surrounds it you could not. The 7 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $299.04 a year.
What you could make
- Help desk and help center: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- A chat box on your site that reaches you the moment a customer types.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Active Directory, Jira and GitHub among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
What this rests on. Jitbit Help Desk’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
