ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus

A complete, easy to deploy and use, customizable service management solution

Kommentarer: We implemented it in a hared service center serving more than 40 legal entities, with approximately 2,000 workstations/users and about 36 technicians. We gradually implemented it and had the chance to streamline processes and customize the solution for our different companies. Integration with email and AD was a great help in setting up the environment with no additional work.

Fördelar:

It sports a complete set of well-designed and ITIL-oriented functions; it can fit both a small firm and an enterprise - with proper licensing and setup. Complete, customizable, easy to use, clear to setup, integrated with other Managengine (and 3rd party) solutions.

Nackdelar:

As per my latest experience (2019) workflow management could be improved; while it's not its primary focus, still it could give great advantages in automating service workflows (eg joiner & leavers).

Great software, could use more features

Kommentarer: It's a great piece of software/service to have, it could do with being more fluid from an administrators point of view, but it's improving during the time we've been using it.

Fördelar:

Multiple of the applications ManageEngine provide can be integrated with one another (not all at this current time) but this allows a more fluid and easy management of the services.The functionality of adding our assets and having a helpdesk in a single location is convenient and does the job required. There is also a feature on pages which if what you required isn't available in a "features" aspect, you can request it, however it isn't clear on when it will be implemented other than in a future version.

Nackdelar:

The functionality can be confusing for some features, some configurations need to be done in the admin settings when logically, I think being able to edit them in the current page you're on which the change relates to would be more convenient. Also there isn't a timeline of features being implemented, so it's not clear if the features you may want, are going to happen.

ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus/ Trial

Kommentarer: it is an intuitive, easy-to-use and very comfortable tool for the services I use since it can communicate with other Zoho services

Fördelar:

Can be implemented much more easily than other services

Nackdelar:

-It does not allow the enrollment of devices in use to the ABM. -It does not maintain an integration with Microsoft applications. -It does not have antivirus available, they are only allowed through integrations. - Integration with the Endpoint Central UEM has an additional cost. -The panels of both platforms cannot be customized one

Support is terrible

Fördelar:

Nice interface.

Nackdelar:

We have been using ServiceDesk Plus for 7 years now. We have contributed a lot into the development of this ticketing software and have around 2K users around the world using it. Software does have occasional hiccups and glitches, but the worst part is their support. It declined so much over the years that it's unbearable now. Every time there is a remote session, it seems that engineers try to waste as much of your time as possible, just connect to you online and literally doing nothing. You have to patch and update SDP manually quite often, sometimes 3 times per month. Every patch is downtime and a risk of an issue, where you have to contact support. Their online instructions are outdated... Just try to renew SSL cert using the posted guides, good luck - another support call to Delhi.

Great for SMB but future growth needs to be considered

Kommentarer: Good if all you're looking at is to provide a service desk platform but for a business that is expected to grow, there are other platforms that will accommodate for that better and is more modernised.

Fördelar:

It does the job and helps us as an office support our retail stores and staff members with any questions and queries.

Nackdelar:

I think overtime the UI has grown outdated in comparison to other service desk services and feels clunky in comparison. We find it hard to navigate when a particular change is required and modifying the UI of the user landing page it quite difficult. In addition, the reporting within the platform is not intuitive and we find ourselves having to manually export and transform data using other tools such as Excel and Canva for visuals on reporting that we send out on a monthly basis.
