Avis clients sur ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus

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.

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.

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.

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).

Ease of use, setup, low resource consumption on server, built-in reporting is enough for my company, Solutions, preventative maintenance tasks, templates, email fetching, user portal, external mobile app.

Reporting isn't that user friendly, upgrades don't allow skipping of versions, not cumulative. Support isn't that good in resolving issues, so luckily we haven't had many

In general, if you're just looking for helpdesk software to get started, but something you can expand later, this is a great option.

Some of the options are not fully integrated and it's obvious they were completed by different design teams. For example, the Change Log and Project management sections don't seem to flow with the rest of the ticketing and service sections.

I have used this Cloud Based Servicedesk for some time now. I find that the interface is very nice to look at. Customization to the templates is very easy to manage and create. The permissions behind the system is also very easy to manage.
We use it for Asset Management, Problem Management, Change Management, Service Tickets. Also, we have some users that use it for internal Project Management. The application owners also like the reporting side of this application.

The ticket automation is also good in that we can get third-party systems to email the service desk and then automation can look at this email and then create a ticket based on a template designed for that service and then open it in the service desk without any end-user requirement. This saves on having to get a user to create the ticket. We us this automation a lot within our environment to save time on manual processes.

There is also a Contracts part to this system which we also use to create a ticket when a certificate is required or if a IT Service Contact is due to be renewed very useful these days.

As the interface is very heavy on JAVA I find that sometimes the system will just throw a wobbly and then do a random refresh and in some cases, you end up losing a lot of text you had just put in.

We have also had some issues with the Asset Management side of the system where we have just randomly lost some assets which have resulted in a call/ticket to ManageEngine. That said these have been sorted in a timely manner.

Incident management. SLA management and escalations. Customizable ticket templates. Create a knowledge base for users.

There is nothing really we have not liked so far with the product.

A really good product with value for money offerings. Nice dashboards with intuitive and user-friendly UIs to keep you attracted towards the product. Relatively easy to set-up and deploy with easy integrations to other product offerings from Manage Engine. The built-in templates are really helpful and can be employed with customisations based on requirement basis to need clients unique requirements.

Product support has been a concern which is one of the key reasons for the product being not getting the respective place in market against competition. There are many features and would require the support of the vendor to get them up and running perfectly. On-premise deployments tend to give lots of trouble, specially in the domain of getting them updated and patched. Further, would require additional components from other products to get the entire capabilities of an ITSM suite and thus would require to either deploy an agent along with the management consoles.

All the customization options. We were really able to tailor the product to our processes. The pricing is fantastic and saved us thousands. Sdplus just integrates with nearly all other ME products. You can make your ticketing systems a one-stop shop for supporting users. Love that there is a mobile app that our staff can use. Specifically our IT staff when it comes to inventory as they can use their phones as a barcode scanner to track inventory. One less device they need.

There are so many features, initial setup can take a while to configure everything.

Having a control panel where you can schedule, track, prioritize, and assign tasks... It is essential to have the IT team in the best conditions. Enough of messaging communications, having a control center for your users' requests is essential. You can register your users, install Service Desk agent or End Point Manager for your users' requests. And attend to them according to your procedures. It is a knowledge center that will greatly help the IT team and give quick answers to your users. If the IT team is not attending to users, you will know it, since Service Desk can highlight requests and incidents that have not been attended to. This software is very scalable.

There is no magic button to configure the whole system. If you have implemented this software a long time ago or since the beginning of the company, then there is no problem. But if you are implementing this software, and you have a lot of employees, a lot of IT processes, among other things; It can take days or weeks to configure everything (if you do it yourself). If you have a responsible and committed IT team, you can have the implementation ready quickly.
I would prefer that it could be installed in a container. We don't like the idea of ​​having to set up an entire server to failover, or having to wait several hours to redeploy if something goes wrong with Windows. We are one of the companies that prefer everything On-Premise, so we will not go for the Cloud.

The GUI across all screens is very easy to use and, dare I say, appealing to use. Technicians, old and new, are able to get to grips with it. The ticket/incident screen, is incredibly good, as it gives you the right amount of detail without going overboard.

Although the inbuilt reporting is good, the scope for custom reporting needs work. We'd like to be able to use more fields and move reports around to make the reports more bespoke to us.

Very simple and intuitive graphical user interface, highly customizable

Notorious problems with application updates

Setting up the product is very easy. The ability to try modules as we go was an add-on. Endless customization can be done on the software. Having a product that is based on an industry standard ensures that process is followed at all stages.

Form builder can be improved. Adobe forms is an example of how form builder in servicedesk can be based on.

I really like the fact that ServiceDesk Plus can be installed on Premises or can be run from the cloud depending customer needs.

We cant add Video tutorials to our knowledge base

The environment that hosts this product is the most stable part about it. Updates and upgrades are available with extreme frequency.

Support is limited and always takes several days to resolve. Bugs and Bug Fixes are plentiful and patched at a blistering pace which opens new issues. Opening a support ticket will usually result in a custom patch or request to update to latest patch.
