ServiceDesk Plus ManageEngine

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Its a great tool, I do really recommend it to every IT organization, it was a great experience to implement and get it full configured, it was a great challenge and learning experience. It's a must on every IT department if you want to improve your IT performance and have your IT department well organized at every single area.

Pros:

More than a Service Desk tool or ticketing system tool it is a System that follows the ITIL standards, allowing IT departments to be full organized on resolving issues, following them up, Identifying new problems, having their assets inventory updated and monitored, having additional tools to access them remotely and run TS steps, Having their projects well organized in a Gantt view and well documented, Licensing module and procurement its a plus on this system.

Cons:

Its easy to implement, however it requires a previous knowledge of ITIL standards in order to set up the parameters and get it ready to work on your full organization. There is a complete guide to do so, however sometimes would be better to have a local support to help in the implementation process.

ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus: A Comprehensive ITSM Solution

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Our overall experience with ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus has been positive. The software has been reliable and has allowed us to streamline our IT service management processes. The cost is a bit of a barrier, but the features and capabilities that it offers make it worth the investment.

Pros:

ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is an invaluable asset to our organization. Its intuitive user interface and comprehensive feature set make it easy to track, manage, and report on IT service requests. Automation capabilities, such as self-service portals, allow users to quickly submit and track their requests, while IT staff can quickly access and respond to service requests. The reporting capabilities are robust and allow us to quickly assess the performance of our IT services.

Cons:

One of the drawbacks of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is the cost. For a comprehensive ITSM solution, it can be quite pricey. Additionally, it does not offer a lot of customizability in terms of the user interface, which can be a bit of a challenge for users who are accustomed to a certain workflow.

Way better Service Desk applications out there

3.0 6 years ago

Pros:

When it comes to bare basics, ServiceDesk Plus can get the job done. The sorting by order of attributes is easy enough. Simple ticket resolution is easy enough. Inputting attributes such as location and the nature of the request is easy enough. Picking up unassigned requests is easy. The asset search function is actually quite useful when doing a quick track of company assets.

Cons:

The search function is nearly useless and if you have a LOT of tickets in the immediate archive, good luck finding it. The inability to search tickets by requester name is non-existent, the inline reply of ticket requests is extremely limited to the point that you might as well simply contact the client directly through your own company email rather than SDP itself.

ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus/ Trial

5.0 3 months ago

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

Pros:

Can be implemented much more easily than other services

Cons:

-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

Alternatives Considered: Jamf Pro and Microsoft Intune

Reasons for Switching to ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus: Easy to use and very comfortable

A very customizable ITSM tool

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: ServiceDesk Plus is a great ITSM software that help us offer and attend the end users' requests/incidents. We started using the Standard edition and now we use the Enterprise edition. You can increase the modules in time, is not mandatory to purchase the most complete edition at first.

Pros:

The interface is very friendly, you don't need to have so many knowledge about ITIL and ServiceDesk Plus will help you to improve your Help Desk service.

Cons:

The ZIA bot that is bundled only works in english, there are so many customers that needs spanish support and ZIA doesn't support it.

Alternatives Considered: ServiceNow Customer Service Management and Zendesk Suite

Reasons for Choosing ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus: The interface of ServiceDesk Plus is most friendly for the end users and technicians.

Switched From: FootPrints

Reasons for Switching to ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus: ServiceDesk Plus offered the same functionalities of ServiceNow for less money and ZenDesk didn't has the required modules.
