Resumen

osTicket is a widely-used open-source support ticketing system that consolidates email, web-form, and API-submitted inquiries into a single multi-user help desk with SLAs, ticket filters, and a knowledge base. It is free to download and self-host under a GPL license, with a paid hosted edition (osTicket Cloud, powered by SupportSystem) for teams that do not want to manage their own server.

El problema que resuelve osTicket

IT and support teams that want a capable ticketing system often end up choosing between expensive enterprise help desks or an unstructured shared email inbox. osTicket solves this by offering a free, self-hosted, open-source ticketing system with SLA plans, ticket automation, and a knowledge base, plus a paid osTicket Cloud edition for teams that would rather not manage their own server.
