I'm running a small design studio with just 12 people, and I'm currently the one handling all the tech support requests like, 'My monitor's broken!' or 'I need access to Adobe.' I have everything piled up in a shared Gmail label called 'tech stuff,' and it's overwhelming—some tickets are probably still buried from last quarter! I'm not tech-savvy and really just want a super simple setup where my team can submit requests without emailing me directly. It would be amazing if the system could send automatic confirmation emails for received requests. I've tried to set something like this up in the past but got lost in a hundred-step configuration process. I've seen names like Freshdesk, Groovy, and Help Scout popping up a lot—what would you recommend I try in 2026 for a total non-techie like me? I don't need tons of features, just a straightforward way to go from 'shared inbox chaos' to a manageable list of issues. Has anyone here faced a similar struggle? What did you choose, and are you still happy with it or did it not work out?

I'd suggest checking out Freshdesk. They've got a free tier that pretty much runs right out of the box, and it's really user-friendly. A lot of teams find it easy to get started with.
Totally agree! It's straightforward to set up and covers all the basics you might need.
