Product overview

Support, monitoring, and assets stay in one work context.

The platform connects customer communication and technical operations without requiring a separate license module for every task.

Built from a real operational need

Not designed in isolation, but shaped through real operations.

The starting point was a custom vulnerability and application inventory project alongside our own need to stop spreading helpdesk, monitoring, and assets across separate tools. The result is one connected platform that has since been developed consistently in short release cycles.

Day to day, this means fewer tool changes, faster technical context, and a traceable path from ticket to action.

In live operations

Hundreds systems, assets, and licenses under monitoring
99,98 % measured availability over at least two years
Up to 24/7 monitoring and bookable technical coverage

License model

One product core without artificial user or monitoring limits.

No user limits

Teams can grow without additional user licenses changing the cost.

No monitoring limits

Monitoring is part of the product and is not slowed down by artificial object limits.

Managed operations

Enterprise is operated to fit your organization, either in the cloud or as managed on-premises. Crazy-Systems handles operations, updates, and provisioning.

Controlled data location

Cloud operations in Germany or the EU, or data stored in your own infrastructure with managed on-premises.

Fixed price

No module fees, no per-agent tiers, and no mandatory add-ons.

Ticket + asset + alert

Support cases, server data, CMDB, and monitoring context stay together.

Workspaces

Three areas, one shared history.

Crazy-Helpdesk & Monitoring connects intake, analysis, monitoring, resolution, and reporting in one continuous service workflow.

Service desk

Tickets, email, SLAs, priorities, internal notes, and traceable handling in one focused workspace.

Monitoring

Server health, metrics, alerts, services, network, certificates, and hardware data next to the affected assets.

ITSM workflows

Incidents, problems, changes, approvals, rollback plans, and CMDB relations without separate tools.

Problem and response

Fewer handoffs between inbox, monitoring, and documentation.

  1. 01

    Shared mailboxes blur responsibilities and make prioritization harder.

    Queues, teams, roles, and team-based permissions create clear handling and visibility rules.

  2. 02

    Internal IT requests and external customer issues run through different channels without a shared history.

    Tickets from web, email, portal, guest forms, chat, and monitoring events become structured workflows.

  3. 03

    Monitoring alerts, asset data, and support cases remain stuck in separate tools.

    Assets, problems, changes, applications, monitoring alerts, and certificates can be linked to the case context.

  4. 04

    Parallel license and operating costs for separate helpdesk, monitoring, or reporting tools often grow unnoticed.

    Integrated monitoring can reduce or avoid the need for separate monitoring tools depending on the scenario.

  5. 05

    Teams see too late which tickets escalate, are handled twice, or are missing knowledge.

    SLA rules, business hours, escalations, notifications, and follow-ups help teams actively work open items.

  6. 06

    Without reliable reports, backlogs, SLA risks, and staffing bottlenecks remain hard to measure.

    Dashboards, reports, search, and histories make performance, bottlenecks, and dependencies visible.

  7. 07

    Branding, self-service, and status communication are often added late and feel inconsistent.

    FAQ, portal, status pages, branding, and enterprise support extend the service desk beyond the ticket form.

Product tour

Tickets stay connected to assets, alerts, and reporting.

Monitoring, self-service, and reporting extend the ticket history without switching tools.

01 Ticketing
01

SLA, communication, and assets directly on the ticket.

The helpdesk is more than a form. Agents see status, priority, SLA state, history, internal notes, and affected assets in one place.

  • Portal, email, and guest tickets
  • SLA automation and escalation
  • Internal and public communication
02 Monitoring
02

Monitoring alerts and service cases stay connected.

The agent sends CPU, RAM, disk, network, uptime, processes, services, and certificate state directly into the platform. Critical states become actionable service cases.

  • Live metrics and history charts
  • Alert rules connected to tickets
  • Inventory and server context in the same screen
03 Self-service
03

FAQ and magic links reduce follow-up questions.

FAQ, public ticket creation, and magic-link access give users a fast entry point without lowering support quality.

  • Public FAQ
  • Ticket access by link
  • Structured capture instead of free-text chaos
04 Reporting & operations

Reports, deployments, and applications in one admin area.

Teams see volume, priorities, SLA trends, deployments, and the application landscape in one consistent admin area.

  • Reporting with CSV export
  • Deployment tasks
  • Application catalog with owners
Product areas

Views across inventory, network, and operations.

Inventory, network, deployments, and application catalog provide the context when a case needs deeper analysis.

  1. Open-source helpdesk

    Zammad

    Strong for

    Flexible helpdesk with strong communication channels plus hosted and self-hosted deployment.

    Why Crazy CMDB and infrastructure monitoring require additional systems that must be connected and coordinated in operation. With Crazy, tickets, assets, alerts, and technical operations belong to one managed system from the start.
  2. SaaS service

    Zendesk

    Strong for

    Established customer and employee service with a large SaaS and marketplace ecosystem.

    Why Crazy Technical asset context and infrastructure monitoring are added through plans or integrations. Crazy connects both directly to the ticket and also takes responsibility for operations.
  3. Customer service

    Freshdesk

    Strong for

    Accessible cloud customer service with ticketing and automation.

    Why Crazy Covering ITSM, CMDB, and ITOM leads to Freshservice and further product decisions. Crazy keeps service desk, assets, and monitoring in one product core.
  4. Atlassian ITSM

    Jira Service Management

    Strong for

    Strong ITSM and development/operations workflows when Jira and Atlassian are already established.

    Why Crazy Without an existing Atlassian standard, plan selection, configuration, and monitoring connections can become a platform project of their own. Crazy starts with a tighter scope and includes managed operations.
  5. IT management suite

    ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus

    Strong for

    Broad conventional ITSM and asset management with cloud and on-premises options.

    Why Crazy Editions, additional products, and ITOM connections need to be aligned for the full scope. Crazy uses one product core and one accountable operations team.
  6. Enterprise platform

    ServiceNow

    Strong for

    A powerful platform for organization-wide workflows, governance, and automation.

    Why Crazy ServiceNow is quoted individually and designed for a broad enterprise framework. For a focused service and operations need, Crazy offers fixed Standard pricing, a smaller implementation frame, and direct support.

03 How is the solution operated? Cloud, managed on-premises, and operating responsibility
Operations & security

Designed for managed cloud and on-premises operations.

The underlying operating system is not the deciding factor. Controlled updates, traceable operations, and clearly separated access paths matter more.

Managed operations

Crazy-Systems handles provisioning, updates, maintenance, and technical administration in the cloud or as managed on-premises.

Data location by operating model

Cloud data is operated in Germany or the EU. With managed on-premises, the data remains in your infrastructure.

Clear operational ownership

Responsibilities for updates, maintenance, monitoring, and changes are agreed for the selected operating model.

Secure agent communication

Monitoring agents self-register, use token authentication, and can receive commands and deployments.

FAQ

Common questions before rollout.
