More Agiloft Service Desk Suite Pros →

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the assets management module.""It has a pretty good search function. If you do the advanced search, you can basically search for anything in any field. If I do a search on the request field and just put in some terms I'm searching for, I can usually find the ticket that I'm looking for.""It is easy to use.""Once installed, it runs like a charm and doesn't ever crash.""SolarWinds is scalable as far as adding devices and servers."

Cons
"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."

More Agiloft Service Desk Suite Cons →

"We would like to see automation included in the next release. We would like to eliminate the L1, and L2 support, by at least 80%. To do this, we need automation with AI (Artificial Intelligence) in combination with ML (Machine Learning).""The interface feels clunky to me compared to some other systems that I've used. I used ManageEngine Service Desk prior to this at my previous job and that had stuff like categories that we use that I don't see in SolarWinds.""A little outdated compared to newer products that include protection and detection.""This solution needs to have mobile application support added.""It would be good if there were training and tutorial videos on the Web Help Desk."
