Desktop Portal (Installed client) Vs. Web Portal (Web Client)

The installed DeskDirector application and the DeskDirector web app have much of the same functionality, but there are a few differences that you should be aware of when considering what you want your clients to use.

Which version should you use?

If you want your users to automatically login or have their computer details added to internal notes when a ticket is submitted you may want to roll-out the desktop application. However, the web version should be considered if your clients are not on a domain or are outside of work.
