870,701 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

No issues encountered.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

No issues encountered.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

No issues encountered.

How are customer service and support?

8/10. They're not perfect and could use some improvement in their responsiveness and knowledge of individual issues.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I tried the ServiceDesk option from the freeware Spiceworks Asset Management tool, but this was very “flat” and not very flexible. Since I was the only technician initially, the free version of SD+ was sufficient enough and this was very flexible.

How was the initial setup?

Just click and install.

What about the implementation team?

Just downloaded from manageengine.com, implemented, and configured myself.

What other advice do I have?

SD+ is definitely a good and flexible ServiceDesk tool which can even be broadly used in larger organizations.

It allows us to add roles, users, and groups, but there were problems with user and group permissions.

Valuable Features:

It's easy and useful for help desks and IT departments. It is user friendly, and made it easy to add roles, users, and groups.

Improvements to My Organization:

It filled the gap between users, first line support, and managers easily. I synced it with our Kerio mail server, so end user support could find out and solve problems faster.

Room for Improvement:

I had some problem with user and group permissions in 2014, and I’m not sure if that is resolved now or not.

Easy to use, easy to support and good pricing
Pros and Cons
  • "The strength is its pricing. It is easy to use."
  • "The reporting capabilities are not as good as Ivanti's. So, ManageEngine could certainly improve on that."

How has it helped my organization?

ManageEngine is easy to support.

With asset management in ServiceDesk Plus, it's not hard. It's not as robust as Ivanti.

What is most valuable?

The strength is its pricing. It is easy to use. It is not as complicated as Ivanti. 

What needs improvement?

In terms of enhancements, additional features for automatic asset discovery would be beneficial. Perhaps the ability to deploy an agent on the network to discover assets automatically.

So, I would like to see potentially more automation features.

Moreover, the reporting is not as good as Ivanti. So, ManageEngine could certainly improve on that.
