In its favor
Why people choose Mint Service Desk
The signal that keeps Mint Service Desk on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.

On-premise and air-gapped deployment options for public-sector and regulated-industry customers who require full data sovereignty.
ITIL 4 certification and out-of-the-box SLA management, change enablement, and time-tracking for agents without requiring extensive customization.
Local support teams and guided implementation services that help organizations configure the system to their actual workflows.

What gets migrated
Mint Service Desk object support
Object-by-object support for Mint Service Desk migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Tickets
Fully supportedThe core object in Mint SD. Tickets carry Subject, Description, Type, Status, Priority, Assignee, Queue, SLA, and timestamps. We migrate tickets 1:1 using the standard field schema. Custom fields on tickets require field-level mapping between source and destination schemas.
Companies
Fully supportedMint SD tracks Companies as separate entities that can be linked to Tickets. We map source Accounts or Organizations to Companies and preserve the linking relationship. Custom properties on Companies are handled via custom field mapping.
Users (Agents)
Mapping requiredAgents in Mint SD have roles, group memberships, and queue assignments. We map source agents by email address and preserve group and role membership, but queue permission configurations are installation-specific and must be validated post-migration.
Queues
Fully supportedQueues are Mint SD's core organizational unit — they bundle ticket routing, permissions, and SLA rules. We map source Queues 1:1 and validate that the queue permission set is fully replicated in the destination.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields in Mint SD are defined per-installation with no standard schema. We extract the source custom field definitions, map them to destination custom fields by name and data type, and flag any unmappable fields before migration begins.
Assets
Fully supportedAssets are linked to Tickets and Companies. We migrate asset records with their linked relationships preserved. Custom fields on assets follow the same mapping process as ticket custom fields.
SLA Rules
Fully supportedSLA definitions in Mint SD attach to Queues or individual Ticket Types. We migrate SLA configurations by name and preserve the linkage to the relevant Queue so SLA breach tracking resumes immediately after go-live.
Attachments
Fully supportedMint SD attachments are stored as references on Tickets or Assets. We migrate attachment references and re-link them in the destination system. Large attachment volumes may affect migration timeline.
Types
Fully supportedTicket Types (e.g., Incident, Request, Problem) are a standard taxonomy in Mint SD. We map source type values directly. Custom type values require the same field-mapping approach as other enumerated fields.
Statuses and Priorities
Fully supportedStatuses (Open, In Progress, On Hold, Resolved, Closed) and Priorities are standard enumerated fields. We map these directly. Custom status values are treated as enumerated field mappings.
Change Management Records
Mapping requiredMint SD supports change enablement workflows as part of its ITIL 4 alignment. Change records link to Tickets and have custom approval chains. We migrate change records with their linked tickets and approval-step mappings, but approval configurations must be validated per destination.
Time Entries
Mapping requiredAgents can log time against Tickets. We migrate time entries linked to their parent Ticket. Custom time-entry fields follow the standard custom field mapping process.
