The Market's Best ITSM Helpdesk Tool
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus from other similar products?
ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is the best ITSM and ESM (Enterprise Service Module) helpdesk system in the industry. It is used by my company's IT department as well as two other critical departments. Because of its ease of use, friendly GUI, and ITIL practices, ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is the best ITSM platform for any company to use. Its unique feature is that it is built on the ITIL framework, which allows us to scale as needed. Incident management. Administration of assets. Services catalogue. Problem solving. Change Management. It is used by approximately 75% of the organization to log help requests with the IT department.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It allows us to keep track of all of our ongoing assistance requests and assign them to the appropriate technician. It also allows for the keeping of a record of fixes/changes that is accessible to anyone in the IT department. End-user ticket logging enables them to keep track of the status of their assistance requests. It has an agent that can be installed on machines and returns data on installed software, active times, logged on users, and so on. Larger projects, as well as end-user help tickets, can be managed within ManageEngine ServiceDesk, where progress/milestones, etc., can be recorded. Active Directory user import.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Reporting tools; report features can be limited, and obtaining detailed information can be difficult. You can specify required fields in the ticket template that the user must fill out before submitting the ticket; however, this is not always enforced correctly.Take care not to select all tickets when attempting to select the top row ticket. We experienced this twice, and we assigned all open tickets to a single technician. It only took a few minutes to repair. At times, the site can be a little slow to respond. I'm not sure if this is an issue with our network or with the program itself. Administration of users. Assigning automatically.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Active Directory user import, which updates automatically when users are added/removed and connects their ManageEngine ServiceDesk accounts to their email addresses to enable email alerts. ManageEngine ServiceDesk plus appears to be well-suited to both large and small organizations; the asset management tool, in particular, is extremely useful, allowing tickets to be linked to both the relevant machine and the user. It can also track your support contracts and send you email alerts when one is about to expire. You can also use it to keep track of solutions and build a knowledge base. ManageEngine has been one of the best products.

Easy to implement, use but can get costly quick
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus from other similar products?
The solution we are on is completely cloud based which was a huge factor in why we chose the ManageEngine solution.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Integration with other Manage Engine products such as Analytics and Desktop Central. This helps our IT team as everything is all in one please and easy to view.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Sometimes with Errors you dont get a clear message about what is causing the error. The support forums do tend to have the answer and so do support but this can take a little trail and error.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
When implementing try to plan ahead for things like categories and also assets. In General its a fantastic product but there are a few niggles which would be nice to see ironed out rather. Defiantly a great asset to any company who is currently trying to run a service desk through their emails currently.
Pros
- Enables Productivity
- Includes Product Enhancements
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
Cons
- Vendor's Interest First
