Overall myself and my team fellow team members have had a great time using Happyfox. We only use the ticketing basics, no ai or chat etc. The interface is simple, intuitive and fast to use, also allowing different layouts based upon our individual preferences, something we all take advantage of. Reporting and tracking are perfect for our needs and the api integrations are useful, if a little lacking in detail.
