Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product
Agiloft has a great support team to help the process along. They are affordable, friendly, and knowledgeable. The tech support team acts like walking encyclopedias. They know databases and programming. After all these years, we hardly need to speak to Agiloft anymore. However, they have great customer support. Every time we need something from them, they make our small troubles go away quickly.

Has reduced complications and supports smooth workflows through customizable features
From a user perspective, I am very satisfied with the current functionality. I don't see any improvements that are required. They might be working on integrating AI functionality. Additionally, they have multiple different tools for each service. They might consider creating a bundled ERP solution for all these tools where purchasing one license would enable access to all functionalities. I'm not certain if such an option exists currently.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is ticket management."
"When somebody wants to follow up with a problem from the past, the solution makes it easy. It keeps everything in one system and updated."
"It offers robust project management capabilities. You can create projects, define staging environments, and set rules and regulations according to organizational standards."
"The solution is interactive and flexible so engineers find it much easier to work with than other tools."
"I like how it can be integrated and expanded with other ManageEngine products."
"The product scales up effortlessly and you can easily add users."
"This solution has provided a way to manage request tracking and resolution."
"There are a lot of great templates that you can take advantage of."
 

Cons

"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"Currently, I cannot configure more than one point of contact. I have the MSP version, and we have around 80 or 90 customers. I don't see the features where I can configure multiple contact points for a customer so that they're notified when we are having an outreach or when we want to send them a planned maintenance notification. Other things that are lacking are mapping SLAs with vendors and mapping back on the tickets."
"We'd like to have more integration into other platforms."
"The product needs to allow for implementation for other departments besides the IT help desk."
"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus moves changes to the production directly. We need a local touch in support."
"The documentation could be improved."
"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus could improve by offering a user-friendly environment similar to ServiceNow."
"We have experienced issues with tables, sheets and columns not displaying properly. This is temporarily fixed with updates but then reoccurs. The way tickets are displayed is messy."
"The service delivery could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Agiloft has by far the best entry point for both cost and learning curve."
"After about six months, we started making a return on our investment at more than 300%."
"We use the cloud model, which is subscription-based, and each year, the subscription fees seem to go up, making it a more expensive solution."
"The only issue for us is the pricing, which is quite high in comparison with the competition."
"For 90 service agents and our need for a cloud solution with incident management and service request management, it annually costs around 12,000. If you need additional development or deployment support from the vendor, there might be an additional cost."
"It is cheaper than its competitors."
"The price of the solution is low. However, it still could be less expensive."
"When I compared it with a similar product, ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus was $2,000 cheaper."
"The platform has good pricing."
"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus has reasonable pricing because my colleagues mentioned that the solution is more cost-effective than the previous one the company used."
