Reviews of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
Sergio D.
A complete, easy to deploy and use, customizable service management solution
Comments: 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.
Pros:
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.
Cons:
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).
Alternatives Considered: Spiceworks, SysAid, ServiceNow and osTicket
Reasons for Switching to ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus: Completeness of functions, ITIL orientation, ease of use

A very customizable ITSM tool
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
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.

Basic Helpdesk Application
Comments: Our company has been using ManageEngine plus ServiceDesk for our IT Helpdesk support system for several years now. Although this application has been reliable and used widely by our IT support team, it is limited on features and functionality. The support for the application from ManageEngine has been somewhat limited as well. If you are looking for a very basic IT support system, then ManageEngine's ServiceDesk might be a good fit. The application is just limited on what it can do and its ability to scale to fit our needs.
Pros:
ServiceDesk Plus from ManageEngine is fairly easy to implement and provides the most basic needs of an IT support application.
Cons:
ServiceDesk Plus from ManageEngine is very limited in features and functionality. It also has a fairly complex interface that is out of date. Our company has trouble tracking IT support tickets because of this limitation.

Manage Engine Service Desk Review
Comments: We used it as a ticket system for IT but overall did not like the experience.
Pros:
It makes for an easy ticketing system for IT to use and helps keep track of ticket progress quite well
Cons:
There is too much freedom for the technician around what they can do with the ticket. They can delete etc too easily, also it's not easy to use for the end user and hard to track outstanding tickets efficiently

Good product, but support needs to improve
Comments: Overall experience has been good. SDP has made a significant difference to how we deliver IT to our business. ManageEngine's after-sales service needs to improve
Pros:
Easy to setup and get started, mostly conforms to ITIL standards
Cons:
Lacks some configurability and isn't as flexible as top-tier products like ServiceNow
Alternatives Considered: Freshservice and SysAid
Reasons for Choosing ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus: Limited functionality and was unstable
Switched From: Spiceworks
Reasons for Switching to ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus: Best combination of price, configurability, usability
