We performed a comparison between Infraon Desk and SCSM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are a few dashboards and they are helpful because, in our organization, we have different groups of people who need different kinds of dashboards... as head of network operations, I need a top-level view. I want to see how many calls are open and how many calls are pending, on average, and some trend analysis. Whereas a manager in my team might like to see slightly more detail."
"Infraon Desk is very flexible in nature and can be customized for my needs. The fact that I can customize it the way I want is the best part of the tool for me."
"The remote access is one of the features I really enjoy. The pushing of email updates and things like that are very good."
"We use SCSM to manage all of our IT operations, including incident and service requests and problem management."
"The solution is quite easy to integrate with other Microsoft products."
"SCSM is easy to learn because all of the material, including training videos, can be found online."
"The call logging is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very easy to use."
"The most requested feature from our customers is the helpdesk ticketing system."
"It is one of the most stable solutions in the market."
"For our cloud-based deployment of SCSM, the Autopilot is the best feature."
"The reporting is okay, but it doesn't give you reports that make you say "wow," like you might see from a tool like MRTG or PRTG whose reports give you a good feeling. The detailing is not there in the Infraon Desk reports and there are no graphical elements in them. The reporting is slightly weak and needs to be improved."
"Better connectivity and integration with more collaborative platforms would be helpful."
"We have had some issues with the SCSM on-premise deployment version in the imaging aspects."
"The patch management aspect of the solution should be improved. It's quite complicated and not user-friendly. If your systems are not patched properly, you are unable to pull reports."
"There is no development with this product, and we had to go and buy additional ITSM solutions to sit on top of it. We had to buy products from companies like Cireson and Cased Dimensions in order to get the functionality that we need out of it. So, we're using Service Manager as an engine, rather than as a full-blown product. It is the engine, but we have other products sitting on top of it to make it work properly."
"I have found SCSM not adequate enough to carry out some functions."
"The solution could be more simple. For example, it takes a lot of work to create reports. It runs on Microsoft SQL queries. Creating custom reports on ManageEngine takes less work from the administrator."
"It would be better if they had a portal for administrators. It would help me use it from anywhere and connect to any device from anywhere. I can administer the solution without a VPN."
"The product needs to improve its integration with other tools. It also needs to have a better UI and a simple dashboard."
"It crashes our client's computers. Sometimes they get blue screens. It would be useful if SCSM could check the upgrades or patches before we implemented them to see if they are going to crash a client's system. Or, if it does install, and the client's system crashes, it would be good if the solution could revert back somehow."
