Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have found the reporting in this product to be very useful.""The most valuable features are the ITIL compliance and billing.""The product teams are continuously on the products trying to improve them. If, for example, I ask for a change to be done in the software, the chances are in the next release it's going to be done and incorporated. It's this personal touch that I like.""The product is very scalable and stable when used as a help desk once it is built out."

"The strength lies in its ability to work cohesively with other systems, creating a centralized hub that enhances efficiency and collaboration across various functionalities within our organization.""It is a stable product.""The solution is a great product. It's hosted on a platform that offers various features, such as email, social media, phone calls, and chatbots. You can connect with customers through any of these channels.""The three major pillars of Salesforce Service Cloud are the SSL, Chatter, and the Dispatcher Console, which routes calls to the technicians.""We use Salesforce Service Cloud for lead management and opportunity management.""Salesforce Service Cloud is a user-friendly and flexible CRM tool that provides good accessibility and security.""Salesforce Service Cloud offers several notable features. It includes robust case routing, escalation capabilities, entitlement mapping, and entanglement rules. Additionally, it supports Computer Telephone Integration (CTI), which allows for automatic case generation when a call is made to a designated number.""The complexity of the solution is very less."

Cons
"The business model for the company is to sell low and charge for customization, education or expertise.""The tech support is terrible and that seems to be a part of their business plan.""There is no cloud-based version and it would be helpful if it were available.""They're pretty good but there's always room for improvement. There should be more templates that users can utilize immediately.""The product is very difficult to use and configure and requires specialists.""I would like to see some kind of project management or portfolio management in a future version."

More ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus Cons →

"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The solution’s user interface could be improved and enhanced.""The solution’s user interface could be improved.""The pricing of the solution can be made cheaper.""The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license.""The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations.""We've started using a couple of AI engines. I believe there's room for improvement there. For instance, when an agent receives a message like "My order is stuck midway, and the delivery guy isn't responding," there should be a pre-populated recommended response on the agent's screen. Instead of crafting a custom reply or searching through knowledge articles to find the delivery guy's contact, this should be the process.""Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved."
