Helps us monitor customer ticket SLAs and enables us to understand why SLAs are missed and to improve our processes as a result
There are a lot of predefined reports but we asked for a lot of changes. The problem is that every organization has its own processes and needs. As a result, we had to do a lot of customization on the reporting. 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. It should become a more graphical presentation of information. It's much more jazzy when you present something in a PowerPoint rather than a Word document. If the system is capturing a lot of data about certain parameters, I should have the option to generate a report based on all those parameters in any permutation and combination. That kind of flexibility is needed. The reports do help us to analyze and understand things at the customer level, but they could be better. Something that is missing is predefined dashboards. I would expect to see dashboards with some parameters that are predefined.

Enhanced remote functionality complements intricate admin management
We are using it as co-management, working from SCCM and some from Intune. However, there are dissimilarities between SCCM and Intune, so we use SCCM for specific tasks or policies Currently, with the system, we have some remote tool functionality which is not available with Intune. We are also…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is a simple solution that is easy to configure."
"We use SCSM to manage all of our IT operations, including incident and service requests and problem management."
"The reporting is very good."
"The most requested feature from our customers is the helpdesk ticketing system."
"It is one of the most stable solutions in the market."
"This solution is easy to use."
"Many more features than other comparable products."
"This product has helped our organization by allowing people to connect with each other."
 

Cons

"Better connectivity and integration with more collaborative platforms would be helpful."
"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."
"It would be good if Microsoft added custom attributes or tagging like in Jamf."
"The product needs to improve its integration with other tools. It also needs to have a better UI and a simple dashboard."
"I have found SCSM not adequate enough to carry out some functions."
"They might be looking for additional functionalities that SCSM could integrate."
"It's not too hard to compile stuff but it is hard to manage the solution. Even the design itself makes it difficult for management."
"The price of this solution is high and it needs to be cheaper."
"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."
"Although some engineers at Microsoft are good, the support often lacks expertise, and response times are slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is reasonable and it was well within my budget."
"The pricing model is very competitive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It is a lower price vs. other things on the market."
"I would rate the pricing as two out of five."
"It comes free with the enterprise agreement that we have, but the expense really is in having to buy another product to sit on top of it to make it work properly. You wind up having to buy additional support and additional product with their own support and maintenance costs on top of that."
"The price of the solution could be better. My organization has an enterprise annual license with Microsoft which provides us support."
"The platform is competitively priced."
"The license for SCSM is cheap."
"The price should be lower."
