Out of curiosity what is prompting the investigation into Comodo ONE?
Afraid to stick with our current system as it has many flaws.
Another option you might consider might be osTicket, or ZenDesk, or FreshDesk.

It's hard to test a ticketing system unless it is really in use. We have so many aspects in our ticketing system setup that it would be difficult to migrate even if they were some valid reasons to do so.
With all the automated tasks and tickets we run, and all the tweaks we have in our system it would be hard to test every single feature we have implemented.
We are using a really basic (almost unusable) hosted system right now, nothing special about it at all. But well because it is so simple we can't really do a whole lot and need to.
Testing for us is pretty easy since we have very little to move over
-
This article is from 2015, but still worth taking a look into. The top open source ticketing systems at the time.
-
OTRS is on that list, I actually played with that for a bit, it was pretty good when I was testing it out (previous job) a while back.

We are really going through all the free options first. Because we have looked at the really high end system and nothing outside of building our own will do all we need it to. So we are just looking for simple helpdesk that actually is stable and works.

Zoho also has an option that looks like it is pretty good. Although at $12/month/agent not sure if it is competitive.
-
The Comodo One offering has RMM functionality too, right, not just helpdesk? How does that look, what all does it do?

The RMM stuff gives us some remote control options, similar to ScreenConnect and such. I actually have it set up on my home computer at the moment for playing around with.

Well, you can often tell when something is going to really suck before you start using it, though.

ManageEngine ServiceDesk (owned by Zoho) is free for the helpdesk only portion for unlimited techs.
It has hosted or self hosted options. and they have device apps for it.
-
If you exhaust all the free options. AVOID topdesk.
-
I've been thinking of moving our system from Spiceworks to something else, that's cleaner looking
will keep an eye on the suggestions -
As a follow up to this, since I think you @Minion-Queen thought the options I mentioned weren't free or had free offerings.
They do.
OSTicket is another one I keep seeing that people investigate and use. Link to Download.

I wasn't thrilled with ManageEngine but for the life of me I can't remember why I discounted it. Might need to go back and look at it again.
-
@Minion-Queen That's probably a good idea... especially if you can't remember the why.

That's the one. I used it for awhile and really did like it. I think there was a two agent limit on the free version... but for a one man shop that isn't that bad.

It's a good system, but very heavy.

I think that that is the Zoho version itself, the ManageEngine (owned by Zoho, not branded Zoho) is unlimited.

Yep, that may have been the issue.
