Pros
Pro Helpdesk functionality
Turn emails into support incident tickets. A brandable self-service portal can be created for customers to create and edit tickets without using paid Axosoft accounts.
Pro Extremely fine-grained control over the lifecycle of each task
Tasks are divided into categories and each category can have one or more workflows which are followed by tasks belonging to that category until their completion.
In other words, workflows are used to set each step tasks need to take in order to be completed. Axosoft lets users have extremely fine-grained control over workflows and by extension, the whole lifecycle of each task. Each step in a workflow can be named and you can choose which fields are updated when a step is complete. This way you can automatically tweak tasks as they progress (you can set tasks to belong to different users once a step is complete, you can even change workflows for a task if a certain step is taken).
Pro Items can be exported as PDF
Each item has a PDF
button (among others) which lets you export all the information related to that particular item in PDF format.
Pro Allows you to view only the most useful information at a given time
Axosoft lets users pretty much create custom dashboards any time they want to view only a specific part of the project data and information.
