What differentiates OpenText GroupWise from other similar products?

GroupWise is an enterprise-class solution that helps IT service desks manage requests with advanced tools not typically found in basic ticketing systems. Its key differentiators include: These features allow requests to be uniformly logged with critical data attached, enable stage-gated assignment, review and resolution, provide insight into technician workloads, common issues, SLA performance and trend analysis, and ensure technicians only see appropriate requests.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

GroupWise has transformed request management for our IT support teams with features such as Custom Ticket Templates, Automated Workflow, Robust Reporting, and Granular Access Controls. The workflow engine provides a structured process for handling tickets that was not possible with spreadsheet trackers. We now have visibility and control over request resolution, thanks to automated notifications and escalation rules. Reporting provides the metrics needed to accurately balance workloads, identify recurring issues, and demonstrate the value IT provides to the business.

What do you dislike most about this product?

However, GroupWise can feel overly complex for some use cases. The administrative settings allow for extensive customization, but this generally requires specialist resources. Additionally, the tool lacks native mobile functionality, which can limit technicians from managing tickets on-the-go. However, these limitations stem from the platform's enterprise-grade capabilities that enable it to handle large, complex support organizations.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For large internal IT teams servicing global employees, GroupWise offers an invaluable system to streamline service operations. Its extensive toolset can provide structure, accountability, and metrics to critical support processes that can easily unravel at scale. Most IT service desks can find immediate efficiency gains from using GroupWise, although it may be overbuilt for simpler environments. It excels in managing enterprise support.
