Recently we signed up with Vision Helpdesk and moved from the internal WHMCS helpdesk, previously Kayako, which I have no problems with only that it no longer serves our needs. We offered managed support to some of our resellers recently with a mixed response but the general feel was sometimes they were unable to help with support requests and had to submit us a support ticket making them feel like the middle man sometimes.

So we looked around and found Vision Helpdesk offer Satellite desks. It also white labels them so their customers don’t know that we even exist. We trialled it with a few resellers now and for an extra couple of bucks per month they are interested in taking it up on a regular basis.

Effectively we can install a master helpdesk and create satellite helpdesks from that, the satellites cannot talk to each other and don’t know each other exists, It has a Superuser/Admin/Domain login hierarchy. Excellent for companies sporting more than one website! As you know WHMCS is limited to the site the billing software is installed on, Kayako is Domain specific and requires a license per domain. Vision work it different, for a low cost you can have the Pro license that we started with which allows you the master site, and the 5 x domain addon sites. They are very inexpensive also.

So what if you have WHMCS, or your resellers. guess what. It integrates each satellite domain to their own WHMCS!! meaning their customers think the tickets are being replied to by their own staff as the replies come from [Staff]. Of course the operators are tracked by their proper names on the helpdesk itself.

Also each Satellite can have its own KB, Downloads, Troubleshooter, Calendar, etc etc. You get the idea.

These guys also allow you to talk live on Gtalk with them for urgent issues. They have excellent customer care, even when we were on the 30 day trial they were just as happy to talk to you, even tho they were not initially making any money from you.

Most of the resellers who tested it have their own VPS’s or shared reseller accounts on our servers, so we have the DB held on our system as the master desk is the only DB. All other satellites link back to it for central storage.

Guys, if you are looking for a very good alternative to Kayako or WHMCS internal system that’s scalable then I would definitely give these guys a try. I will be definately using them from now on.

One con is they have no live Support client but hey, no ones perfect. Al tho I am sure you guys will all agree, there are hundreds of varieties of helpdesks out there!

Just my 2ps worth of information. Check them out at: http://www.thevisionworld.com/

We wanted to offer free end user support to our vps clients but there was no helpdesk which could allow us to manage end user support better way. Then we came across Vision Helpdesk and thanks to its Satellite helpdesk feature  that allows us to manage end user support without any hassle.

We include Free End User Support for our VPS clients i,e free  support to customers of our VPS clients. We install a Vision client portal on our vps clients website (See example HERE). Their customers signs in and submits tickets from their website. Vision allows customization of  logo, header and footers for our vps clients – so they can match their website design. The ticket is controlled, tracked and replied to using the main Vision program on our  server.

Vision Helpdesk also easily imports data from major helpdesks like: Kayako Support Suite – Kayako eSupport – Cerberus and WHMCS. This makes switching to Vision Helpdesk easy and you have all tickets imported from your old helpdesk — that’s is a big plus.

We are thankful to Vision helpdesk developers to provide us such a wonderful helpdesk software that allows us to manage end user support without any hassle.

We highly recommend Vision Helpdesk.

Thank You,

I have a new start up that I’m currently working on with an old college friend of mine. It required providing customer service as most companies do so I looked around for some top-notch help desks.

First one that came to mind was of course Kayako – rock solid reputation and great ticketing software.

Then I highly considered WHMCS – amazing all-in-one type solution and I’ve been using it for 2 years now.

Then on a whim, I decided to check out the Software Offers section (my first time on those forums in over a year) and saw an advertisement for Vision Helpdesk.

I was like who???? – As most people can agree that these guys are new to the block. interestingly enough, I kept reading their advertisement.

I read about the helpdesk features and a few features caught my eye, so I clicked on the link to check it out.

I’m more the type to get info not from a web page but from support, so I clicked on Live Chat.

I was directly connected to sales rep : Sheena.

I ‘ve had many live-chat sessions in my time, and I have never had anyone more attentive to my needs than Sheena. Time spent on LiveChat = 35 Minutes. Live Chat via Google Talk = additional 45 minutes.

I shot question after question, scenario after scenario and she literally walked me step by step on how Vision helpdesk can achieve what I needed. She paid close attention to my business needs and why we’re using the helpdesk in the first place. She was kind enough to paint me a picture with different combination of what Vision helpdesk can do to ultimately achieve my goal.

Okay, so after an hour and half of chatting, I decided to take the plunge. I was reluctant to move away from going with WHMCS but Sheena’s talk with me really won me over.

I paid for the helpdesk (owned license) (mods are more than welcome to verify) and submitted a ticket for installation.

Within the hour, installation was complete. (this was around 8:45-9:00 pm PST) I never heard of a company doing an installation that late during a business day. I assumed it was going to be done the next business day.

I’ve been testing out the helpdesk for about 2 hours now. Setting up the configs.

So here’s my scorecard

1. Aesthetic Design – Sorry to say, but it can definitely use a major touch up. It’s definitely not the most appealing helpdesk to look at, but it gets the job done.

2. User interface - A lot to take in at once. The moment you set it up, you just see everything everywhere. However, after you take in everything for the first 5 minutes, and after clicking on each icon to see what it does, you get the hang of it. Not to mention, there’s a unique feature of turning on/off icons in the toolbar to make things somewhat less cluttered. Something unique I haven’t seen anywhere else.

3. Ajax Implemented - I gotta give it up for the use of AJAX. Every page loads within a second at most. Pretty damn fast navigation, on almost every link posible on the helpdesk.

4. User-Friendly – Well a lot of people said ModernBill wasn’t that user friendly…but a lot of people said once you get the hang of it, it’s cake. Same thing with Vision helpdesk. It’s easy enough once you know where everything is. There’s a sidebar to the left is where settings are and top navigation for toolbar and access to almost everything else. Click around, once you get the hang of it…pretty easy.

5. On-going support and updates.
I’ve checked out what others were suggesting and looks like Vision helpdesk will bend over backwards to get a custom module out to meet the clients’ needs. Im not saying this pre-maturely. I’ve read what users have requested and it looks like development has gone underway to incoporate what users really want. I’m excited to see what these guys will rollout with in version 2.

6. Designed by programmers at heart. You can tell that whoever is programming this helpdesk isn’t a design major or artist by nature. Simply put, they’re putting in features purely for the sake of making life easier without going into making the software look pretty. It’s something that the end-users will appreciate though. They have a tool that imports your WHMCS Database/Kayako Database. You don’t even have to pay extra for this service. It’s already built into the software. Unlike other companies that charge for this migration service. Other neat features to note: Satellite helpdesk.

Overall Scorecard of the helpdesk software itself: 7.5/10.
I’m an avid user of WHMCS, WHMCS has come a long way since v2. But Vision helpdesk looks promising enough.

I won’t be incorporating Vision Helpdesk into my main-stream projects just yet, but I’m definitely going to test-drive this software to see what it’s really capable of.

With that said, I’m not here to recommend this company over WHMCS / Kayako or anything like that. Helpdesks have features that some don’t, do the research.

But if you’re deciding on whether you should try out Vision helpdesk, I would definitely recommend getting the evaluation version. It’s well worth the price tag of $FREE.99

As an owned license holder now, I’m crossing my fingers that there’s continued on-going development for this software!!

Thank You,

Kevin Lee.

The culmination of  one year work by our development team, Vision Helpdesk 2.0 Stable Version is now available.

Vision Helpdesk 2.0.0 Stable

Vision Helpdesk 2.0.0 Stable

Vision Helpdesk 2.0 is about High Speed Performance,  Security,  Reliability, Scalability,  Portability and User-Friendliness. Vision 2.0 reflects the state of the art in web based helpdesk solutions. It well derives benefits of latest Web2.0 technology and equip support staff with fast, secure and user-friendly interface.

Ajax Based — Lightning Speed Interface

The first thing you’ll notice about 2.0 is its new Lightning Speed Interface. From the top down, we’ve listened to your feedback and thought deeply about the design and the result is a Vision Helpdesk that’s just plain faster. Nearly every task you do on your Helpdesk will take fewer clicks and be faster in 2.0 than it did in a previous version.

A major challenge while designing online softwares is the page reload time – for all operations that you do (may be its submitting form or clicking event etc) requires communication between server and reloading the complete page to display the results.

We have used AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) to overcome the complete page reloading issue, AJAX is a web development technique used for creating interactive web applications. AJAX makes your pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user requests a change. This way it increases the web page’s interactivity, speed, functionality, and usability.

Ajax contributes –

  • User-experience improvement
  • Decreasing user delay
  • Decrease in bandwidth usage
  • High speed results

Satellite Helpdesk — Manage Multiple Companies

Multi-Domain Helpdesk
Next thing that you’ll notice Improved Satellite Helpdesk  Feature (Managing one or more company support under single helpdesk ) Vision Helpdesk pioneers to implement true satellite helpdesk feature — With Vision 2.0 we have introduced Staff Access Control that gives hierarchical control over access rights to staff and admins.. The system has Super Admin on top level followed by Domain Admins at middle and Staff at bottom level..

Paid Support — Bill your customers from Vision Helpdesk

Paid Support
Digging further you’ll find the complete new feature that is Paid Support — We know its everyone’s deep dark wish to have ability to bill customers from helpdesk software. Vision Helpdesk makes your wish complete by integrating with top class Billing Software — WHMCS.

Vision Helpdesk integrates with WHMCS Billing Software to offer Paid Support feature, that means now you can add billing note to a ticket and create invoice right from your Vision helpdesk. If you are thinking the integration will be complex — then delete the thought!! Trust me you don’t need any coding knowledge it’s just matter of adding your whmcs details in vision helpdesk and your vision helpdesk is ready to bill your customers :)

Plug-in Architecture

Helpdesk Plugins

Another interesting and complete new feature is Plugin Architecture — Vision2.0 offer Plug-in architecture that allows users to enable / disable several features.  Plug-in frameworks help to handle complexity, simplify application configuration and deployment, and enable users or third parties to easily enhance existing applications with self-developed modules without having access to the whole source code.

Currently Vision2.0 includes Plug-in’s like –

  • Scrap Book
  • Quick Links
  • Email Alerts
  • Favorites
  • Calendar
  • Antivirus
  • Address Book
  • Online Staff

Our development team is working further on this feature  to implement more and more easy methods for third parties to develop their own code and plug-in to vision helpdesk.. In next upcoming version of Vision you will get a better test of this feature.

Doesn’t it frustrate you to browse ticket replies page wise ?  It really sucks!  this happens mainly when a ticket has several replies (long conversation)..

Our previous version 1.2 allowed users to see ticket conversation on single page but again that’s not sufficient as it takes long time to load complete conversation on single page.

To over come this problem  — Vision 2.0 allows you to view ticket replies on single page and also you can shrink each reply that gives you more flexibility to track previous conversation.

A) Shrink Ticket Reply
Shrink Ticket Reply

B) Expanded Ticket Reply
Expanded Ticket Reply

Advantages of  No Pagination for Ticket Replies:

  • Complete ticket conversation on single page.
  • Easy to track previous conversation no matter how lengthy ticket conversation is.
  • Saves time.
  • Increases user performance.
