EV Service Manager Recensioner

"Very Flexible to a fault"

Kommentarer: We have seen the product grow in the 4 years we've had it. The current version, Oxygen, is a huge leap from where we started with our implementation. We needed a full-featured ITSM and this software definitely fits the bill at a lower cost than some of the competitors. However, we chose to save money on implementation and did a lot on our own. If we had spent more money and time with the implementation team, we might have had an easier road to where we are.

Fördelar: The software is very flexible and has many features. You can make it do what you want it to do, for most things, with some work.

Nackdelar: There are a lot of things to configure and arrange in the software, so it can be overwhelming and confusing at times. They advertise "codeless", but to be a power user, you need to know some SQL.

"Easy Vista Review"

Kommentarer: It gets the job done, it is, It's pretty easy to use, it's web-based so that you can get to it from anywhere, it's relatively quick to refresh as compared to other web applications, It is highly customizable, to fit the needs of any organization
Ours is a couple of versions old, so I do not know what is fixed or changed in the future additions, but i hear from our vendor that it has major updates and i can't wait to see them

Fördelar: It's pretty easy to use, it's web-based so that you can get to it from anywhere, its relatively quick to refresh as compared to other web applications

Nackdelar: Application time out settings are across the board, there needs to be a separate timeout for HelpDesk user that are in it all-day

"EasyVista isn't so "Easy""

Kommentarer: It was not a great experience overall and if you are going into it with budget in mind this might work for you as long as you have the coding support you need and then you might be able to work the product out to the ends you need it appropriately.

Fördelar: We were able to customize this to the degree we needed for it to work for our organization (at great effort). This software did function as needed for a time. It logged appropriate data and we were able to use it to document what we needed.

Nackdelar: It was so difficult to create and implement. It required a lot of coding knowledge that we weren't prepared for. It required a great deal to get common features available in other platforms up and running for us. It was not easy to read notes on tickets in a linear fashion.

"EasyVista - more than ticket management"

Kommentarer: Normally I use the change request, service, incident, and problem management modules regularly.
It allows the teams to manage their daily work in one place, without the need of more applications.
The asset management module is also pretty good to have an idea of who's using what machines with a simple "probe" installed.

Fördelar: It has a lot of features and options that can be used, other than just using it for ticket management like we normally use it for.
Change requests, incident management, service requests, problems management, assets management and many other features.

Nackdelar: Steep learning curve
Not the bet user experience
To heavy on resources

"Great for non-programmers"

Fördelar: I love the fact that unlike some other offerings, you do not have to be a programmer to accomplish deep customization. We have done some customizations that we would never have been able to do on our previous platform.

Nackdelar: I do not agree and never liked the fact that there are more than one UI (Service Manager & Service Apps) and that EV makes it (very) hard to connect and integrate the two. IMO, they should just be combined
The UI is static and doesn't accommodate larger monitors well at all so you cannot adjust columns sizes.
The reporting deficiencies forced us to invest in PowerBI for reporting.

"EasyVista Product Review"

Kommentarer: It's a great product and they work hard to continually update the product.

Fördelar: EasyVista is very powerful and flexible. New releases keep it current and allow continual improvement.

Nackdelar: Getting training after the initial install is expensive. I have had difficult figuring things out on my own. The EasyVista Support team has been helpful when I have reached out, depending on the technician.

"EV Review"

Kommentarer: Poor - The interface and trying to get it develop was very difficult. We had to hire an outside vendor (FMX) to get it to a point it was usable. This was a pretty big cost for the university to absorb. EV should have been better prepared to support their own products.

Fördelar: Workflow editor - Like the interface and having all the icons close to the work space.

Nackdelar: Functionality - The interface is clunking and hard to navigate, even for my IT staff. The learning curve to use the interface and navigate around is quite lengthily. This hurt us as an organization, as people were discourage to use it.

"EasyVista is very slow, clunky, and not very intuitive."

Kommentarer: Overall, EasyVista does the job but it is plagued with a slow interface, confusing navigation, and bugs that prevent me from using the software for its intended purpose.

Fördelar: I like how when you look up user's profiles, that it shows all their information from their location, phone number, email, computer name, groups they are apart of etc. I like all the different categories you can assign issues to so you can look at those metrics to pinpoint problematic issues.

Nackdelar: The interface is extremely slow. Sometimes things will not load when clicking it for the first time and you have to refresh the page and try again. The homepage is too busy and there are too many links you can click on. Some things take several steps to do something, such as transferring a ticket or adding a tech note. Sometimes you cannot reopen, cancel, or reassign tickets.The user interface needs to be simplified so it is less busy.

"I hate putting in tickets!"

Kommentarer: The software looks like it was created 20 years ago. This software was not created with the end-user in mind.

Fördelar: This software does seem fairly feature-rich, and I've seen our help desk be able to customize it for various uses.

Nackdelar: Creating tickets should not be this hard. When I create service request, there are so many fields to fill out, forms to complete, approvals to request, etc.

"Not the Best, not the Worst, something in the middle"

Kommentarer: None, I have been attending to some demos of users trying to purchase this software and even that brings alot of good thing to the table it dos not push trough.

Fördelar: * Alot of information and modules on EasyVista,
*There's various helpfull modules, and alot of customizability in them.
* I like alot the contracts module.

Nackdelar: * Modules on EasyVista are too crowded and difficult to understand.
* The Organization is terrible, buggy and slow interface.
* Sometimes is hard to even know where is what you are looking for because of the interface is weird.

"It's a good product"

Kommentarer: I would say its been a good experience but we need to get some better Administrator than what we started with to make our internal experience a lot better. Most of the original Admins were not technical enough to get the most out of our original implementation.

Fördelar: Not sure our organization has been able to experience all the pro of EV yet because we're still on the older version of it and not Oxygen.

Nackdelar: Configuration can be a lot easier in my opinion.
