Doing a test like this has a lot of parameters, we do not aim to crown one winner, rather showing off what the controllers can do, how easy they are to use, price vs usability, install and handle for different...
We have been battling a war with our current support ticket system, where tickets got compromised, some tickets completely random entered the system and got corrupt so they were never seen. This will be completely solved now! Instead of testing and failing ourselves we hired people in the CRM branch - who eat and breathe solutions we are trying to achieve, they looked at our operations, what we needed and how to set up a lean solution to integrate all...
