KB Support – Customer Support Ticket & Helpdesk Plugin, Knowledge Base Plugin

KB Support has been a real life-saver and has enabled me to get rid of the over-priced support platform that I had been using.

The plugin is well-built, is very intuitive and has worked faultlessly, providing all the features you need to provide a first-class support system and doumentation.

The extensions are very reasonably priced and with the addition of the Email Support extension I have everything I had from my previous help desk provider and more!

Thanks for the great plugin!

Amazing plugin!

We've set up a new plugin for the events sector and use KB Support for our Articles and ticket logging system.

Such an easy plugin to use.
