What is everyone using for basic ticket management these days?

Not my choice, though. I prefer something simpler and faster, like DokuWiki.

@scottalanmiller unfortunately we have staff who struggle with multiple Teams channels so I'm trying to consolidate systems as much as possible

Why on premises if only for the helpdesk?

Long story! for now, the only option I have is to set up something on-premise. Eventually, i will be able to move it. Can spiceworks be used only has helpdesk and disable inventory part? Haven't used Spiceworks in a long time

osTicket is good, that is what we are moving from.
Why are you moving away from osTicket?
monitoring integration, real time chat, constant updates
If you don't need features like monitoring , chat etc do you think OS ticket is a good option for self hosted? I've tried but not used osticket on day today basis.
We currently have solarwinds still haven't paid but the overall experience is bad (just the web help desk) i guess it's due to the wrong approach and config and not because the product itself is bad. Major issue is email to ticket, whenever user replies to the ticket by mail the system creates another ticket again!
We can't go to a solution that's hosted outside our servers, so sodium suite is not an option as of now but I would like to setup osticket and explore
That's the beauty of Open source. Setup a server and play with it see if you can get it to match the experience of your Solarwinds instance.
I am about to test that, but wanted to know if there were any real world challenges when @scottalanmiller used OSTicket
We use OS ticket. So far, it has been great. Very easy to use, and works for what we need (a basic ticketing system) So far, the only limitation that I have found is that there is no easy way (or at least not that I have found) to merge duplicate tickets together.
How does duplicate tickets occur here?
Very common. We see it all of the time at NTG. Manager, tech and customer might all make tickets at the same time.
Exactly this ^^^

Can't "disable" the inventory. You just "don't use it."
