    I am looking for a good helpdesk...what do you guys think?

    Desk Pro or Kayako?

    DeskPro
    Pro - Short-term Low startup @ $195
    Pro - Desktop Notifier
    Con - Long Term of removing their backlink, then you would
    have paid close to $3,000


    Kayako
    Con - High Startup @ $595
    Con - No Desktop notifier
    Pro - Long term - their complete package including
    backlink removal is a total of $1500 for 10 seat lic.

    Both appear to be good, and both appear to have their pro's and con's....

    What do you guys think?

    In the end, a help desk does just that, communicates back and forth between buyer/seller...

    If you are a new business, and cost factor is a concern, then go with DeskPro and if your business takes off, then
    you can always switch too Kayako. why put more of a financial burden on yourself then need be?

    If your business does not take off, then you would have only spent $195 on deskpro, but if you bought kayako, then
    you would have spent much more then just $195 as their esupport alone is like $595....

    Of course if you already have a successful business, then kayako maybe the option for you, unless you are
    just a penny pincher and you just want to save money as long as you do not mind showing deskpros backlink.....
