If you manage a Help Desk, tools like **Freshservice, SolarWinds, Jira, and Jestor** are essential — the choice depends on whether you need rigid ITSM (ITIL) or flexible ticket management integrated with company assets.

### **The support clock**

In IT, every minute of downtime costs money. SLAs define urgency: "Server down" has a 15-minute SLA; "Broken mouse" has a 2-day SLA. The tool must organize the queue automatically based on these times.

### **What IT is looking to solve (Pain Points)**

- **Forgotten tickets:** The request falls into limbo, and the user complains.
- **Confused priority:** Treating a critical issue with the same speed as a simple question.
- **Lack of escalation:** Level 1 tech can't solve it, and the ticket gets stuck there.
- **Disconnected inventory:** Not knowing which computer is causing the problem in the ticket.

### **Why Jestor stands out in IT**

This is where Jestor stands out by delivering all this in practice:

- **Asset Connection:** The ticket comes linked to the user's laptop or software (Asset Management).
- **SLA by Priority:** Define different times for "Critical," "High," and "Low."
- **Self-Service Portal:** The user opens the ticket and tracks SLA in real-time.
- **Response Automation:** Send automatic email pausing SLA when "Waiting for User."
