What do you dislike about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP?

The least helpful thing in ServiceDesk Plus is the occasional bugs that it has when communicating to end users and services. For example, when sending an email back in the ticketing system the template I created for automatically filling in the ticket link is not working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP?

I wish I had known about ServiceDesk Plus earlier in my career! This software is the most straightforward and comprehensive ITIL service management tool I've found during my research. The Enterprise edition includes everything from incident management to change management and CMDB. Moreover, it is the only one I found that is available not only as a Cloud application but also on-premise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP?

The ServiceDesk Plus platform can be costly if you have many agents and require the Enterprise edition (which is the one that covers the whole ITIL scope, including asset management and CMDB) because the pricing model is based on the number of agents (i.e. technicians). On the positive side, the number of users (i.e. requestors) is free and unlimited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP solving and how is that benefiting you?

ManageEngine's ServiceDesk Plus allows us to manage the whole IT service management lifecycle:

- incident management

- problem management

What do you like best about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP?

The multiple ticket views allow different types of IT/HelpDesk personalities to customize how they organize their tasks. Not everyone thinks and organizes in the same way and I think the 3 different views with full customizability is an underrated feature of SDP. It allowed us to get immediately set up and organized, replacing an older system which was nowhere near intuitive by comparison. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP?

I do find that some aspects of ME SDP can be a bit overcomplicated sometimes and that a simpler approach or option would be a better solution to some of these features. Such as email/new ticket filtering. I feel like having a "rule" or "policy" based Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is currently being used as a help desk ticketing system and is helping us organize and triage support requests in a priority and sequenced manner. It also allows us to view and keep track of metrics for technician performance, and category types of tickets to see which types of tickets are coming in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP?

ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus has horrible customer support, as they outsource all of their support to a foreign country. It is always very difficult to get proper & timely support for this product (and others made by ZoHo Corp). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP?

E-mail notifications to users and technicians. Set a reminder e-mail for events. Merging and splitting requests. Easy to set up and sync with Office365. Also, you can track inventory and assets with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP?

It is deleting emails from the mailbox it is fetching from, and there is no way to stop that "feature". The only possible way is to set another mailbox that fetches the emails and keeps them for archive purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is perfect for managing helpdesk tickets. Automatic assigning them to teams is very helpful, if set properly. It is a cloud version, which removes the requirement of in-house equpment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP?

What helps the most is the ability to keep all incidents reported by users from different companies or business entities in one place. Additionally, as part of the incident logging, all the required information is provided so that they can be easily tracked. Its licensing system is easy to understand and support, its prices are affordable, and its support desk is very friendly and respects the contracted SLAs, which gives us confidence and assurance that they will be there when needed. Similarly, their support engineers helped us configure the software on our own network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP?

Well, I could say that the setup can become an issue, since it requires buying the policy for them to configure it for me, which leaves me in a complicated situation because the know-how is not obtained to do it alone, but if we do it ourselves, it takes longer, if we haven't operated it before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP:

Before acquiring it, I recommend that they discuss the complexity of their networks and that the way it is used is well understood by the department, as well as the scope of the configuration and the number of companies to cover. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems I have solved include having all user reports from all companies in a single repository; these are more than 100 daily reports that are received and can now be tracked. I solved another credibility issue for the technology area, as in cases of confrontations with users, the history is now available to review and provide the best response and solution to requests or complaints.

What do you like best about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP?

Extremely configurable to meet your specific service desk needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP?

Not as much help available to help with the configuration as I would have preferred. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP solving and how is that benefiting you?

We aren't the first company to have these specific areas of service desk needs, and the community is a big help. We have multiple lines of business, and the individual service desks need to be separate but still have a common structure and the ability to share information.

What do you like best about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP?

It has plenty of regular use tools integrated into one. We use incident management, self-service portal, inventory and asset management, and incident and change management. All tools work quite well. The price of the solution is very reasonable for the same toolset and quality as compared to other alternatives. The tool is very friendly and easy to use. It was not difficult to train personnel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP?

User Interface can be improved and made more intuitive. Some of the options are not so straight forward to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP:

ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus has 3 different categories. Users should review their requirements beforehand and look for the appropriate version of the software. Customization options, from what I could gather, can be challenging and users needing heavy customization may get details of their requirements prior to procuring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using the tool to meet a number of our requirements. It has helped manage our inventory better, self-service portal helps all our users easy access to manage their accounts, change passwords, etc. which has reduced workload of email admins, change management has been streamlined to a great extent. Reporting is very useful, and although it lacks customizations, it has been able to meet our requirements to a great extent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
