Is Easy Helpdesk an osTicket alternative for Joomla?

Yes, if your support is Joomla-only. You get queues, email, SLA, and a knowledge base without a second user database. No, if one desk must cover several platforms.

What is the difference between a Joomla helpdesk and osTicket?

A Joomla helpdesk is an extension. osTicket is its own application. Same job on paper. Different home in production.

How should a Joomla support ticket work for the customer?

They submit on your site. They track it on your site. They do not create a second password unless you force that on purpose.

Can I just embed osTicket in Joomla?

You can iframe almost anything. You still have two apps to patch, two UIs to brand, and two identity models. That is a workaround, not a Joomla ticketing system.

Do I need Joomla administrator access to answer tickets?

You should not. Daily work belongs on a frontend staff queue. Admin is for setup and reports.

Is there a free osTicket alternative for Joomla?

osTicket is free, and it is not a Joomla extension. Native Joomla helpdesks are usually paid. You are buying the integration, not a slogan.
