"Low cost upfront. High Cost in Control and Risk."

The Case

They work for basic ticketing but falls short for structured escalations. Over time, gaps in security, accountability, and scalability become operational risks.

The TIKTING Advantage

TIKTING provides a supported, enterprise-grade alternative to open-source limitations.

Open-Source / Opoo Helpdesk Solution

The Illusion of Zero Cost

Open-source tools are free to download, but running them comes at a hidden expense. Time spent configuring, patching, and securing them quickly exceeds the cost of a premium solution.

TIKTING delivers a ready-to-use, enterprise-grade platform.

  • Eliminates manual setup and patching
  • Reduces operational overhead compared to DIY solutions
  • Lets your team focus on service, not maintenance

Security Liability

Community projects can linger unmaintained, leaving critical vulnerabilities exposed for months. For enterprises handling sensitive data, this is unacceptable.

TIKTING provides enterprise-grade security with guaranteed updates.

  • Regular, verified security patches
  • Role-based access control and audit trails
  • Peace of mind for sensitive environments

Isolated and Fragmented

Most open-source helpdesks are isolated. Integrating with HR, assets, or project tools requires heavy custom coding and ongoing maintenance.

TIKTING is built as a fully integrated ESM platform.

  • Native integrations with Active Directory, CRM, and asset systems
  • Seamless workflow across multiple sites and departments
  • Eliminates duplicate data entry and errors

Stagnant Features

Community-driven software evolves slowly. You miss out on modern capabilities like AI insights, workflow automation, and advanced reporting.

TIKTING evolves with enterprise needs and competitive benchmarks.

  • Continuous feature updates based on real-world use
  • AI-powered suggestions and analytics
  • Workflow automation that grows with your organization

Unreliable Support

When a critical system goes down, relying on forums and community posts isn’t a strategy. Downtime costs money and trust.

TIKTING comes with SLA-backed professional support.

  • Rapid incident resolution from trained experts
  • Guaranteed uptime and operational continuity
  • Confidence to focus on business outcomes, not firefighting

The choice is clear: Open-source may look cheap on paper, but the hidden costs, risks, and gaps accumulate. TIKTING delivers a secure, supported, integrated, and mature helpdesk platform trusted by real enterprises.
