Open source portal software

Hosted software, or open source?

It may seem like a daunting task to create a customer portal that allows users to check the status of support requests, track content, and review updates to knowledge bases and community contributions. It's particularly daunting when you have to build on open source code to do it. Your IT team could spend ages doing just that. Fortunately, Zendesk provides a hosted customer portal that allows users to do all of that from a single location. You're welcome, IT teams.
