ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus

My experience has been amazing and productive

Kommentare: As an IT professional, solutions such as ManageEngine are essential for the prompt service delivery of HelpDesk employees within the organization. ManageEngine has many features. They are remote connection, video call and chat functions. You can even manage the computer's services or system files without connecting to the computer's desktop. I work in an organization with 500 employees, and the ManageEngine was very helpful in providing technical support. However, the availability of the ticket system in the ManageEngine makes it easier for you to give detailed reports to both the work efficiency and the management.

Vorteile:

Among the alternatives, it was the most convenient to set up and use. It has a user-friendly interface

Nachteile:

It's a very convenient product, I like ManagEngine's products in general, but sometimes additional add-ons can be a bit expensive.

Great for SMB but future growth needs to be considered

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

I think overtime the UI has grown outdated in comparison to other service desk services and feels clunky in comparison.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.

Support is terrible

Vorteile:

Nice interface.

Nachteile:

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.

SD+ as a helpdesk tool

Kommentare: Overall, a good product in a sea of expensive options.

Vorteile:

Setup many years ago, and still in use today. Does all the tasks we require.

Nachteile:

Can be a bit of a burden to update with only command line automated options.

Robust, easy to use, fully-featured IT Help Desk software

Vorteile:

The ease of use, both for IT Management (setup) and continual tweaking and adjusting and product improvements is impressive. For support staff, it's easy to use and navigate and has everything at ones fingertips.

Nachteile:

There's some redundancy that seems unnecessary, when entering info into fields that are not customizable. Also, inventory tracking connected to Desktop Central (now Endpoint Central) is hit and miss and when moving from either instance's on-prem to cloud, things break and assets have to be re-entered, but end up having the cloud cutover date, not the original asset acquired date. Something to keep in mind when planning lifecycle.
