"UserFriendly ITSM Product!"
What do you like best about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus?

This ITSM product is very useful for ticket management SLA processes. In addition, the inventory process in companies can be managed through this interface. It can also assign added inventories to active directory users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus?

When an LDAP connection is made, one of the users has a embezzled inventory, if the user closes, the inventory is wasted and no notification is received. It's getting harder to keep track of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"working with inherited software"
What do you like best about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus?

the software is simple yet robust, administration is for the most part set and forget. especially user/technician management and integration with other ManageEngine apps is a breeze, most of the app is a set and forget solution, there isnt too much that needs to be done on the admin side unless you start looking into automation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus?

the learning curve is deceptive, you think you understand how the app works and then you gotta reach out for assistance to find out you need to know API connections and launch the website with developer tools to pull hidden fields, and items that should be basic have a roundabout way of being done, for example, we have a monthly ticket that reoccurs the 3rd weekend of the month, but you cant have ticket creations occur on schedules, so you instead have to create a template, then have an automated trigger that creates a ticket from the template on the set schedule - so it adds a layer of complexity, that seems needless to me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible ticketing system"
What do you like best about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus?

It's flexible since it can exist in an on prem and cloud version. Depends on the appetite and customization and support needed by the company. Has a lot of easy integration points with popular collaboration tools such as M365. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus?

There is a delay on patches and updates on the on prem version as compared to the cloud version. Reports customization is not easily done and need help from support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Cloud Based Help Desk System"
What do you like best about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus?

The ticketing system integrates well with Microsoft 365 so your user accounts are synced daily. The Asset system for computers is nice to have so you can assign the computers to the users that have those computers. Email integration works very well for email-based ticketing and communication with staff about their issues. It ticks all the boxes on what you need from a help desk ticketing system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus?

It would be nice if there was an agent to put on computers for system reporting to the help desk. Alongside that, it would be nice if there was remote control integrated into the help desk system agent if there were one. Endpoint Central has this agent with remote control integration, but adding that to the Help Desk would also be nice to have as well. The Purchase orders side of the system is a PITA. The on-prem version is nice. You fill out the PO, and it adds all the things you added in the PO to the system so they're there the next time you might order the same things. The Cloud version is the opposite. You have to manually add all the information about a product you are going to purchase before you can add it to the PO you are putting in the system. It makes it the worst part of the system to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great performance and great knowledge base for working with IT"
What do you like best about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus?

I like ServiceDesk Plus because of the ease of use, highly intuitive interface and features to manage assets, changes and more in one platform. We are currently using it in 80% of our company and have had promising results, it has allowed us to effectively manage all incidents and IT in the organization. Striking quality is how effective it is at tracking tickets and the garden of knowledge that can be retained to provide quick solutions to common problems that our internal users and customers may have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus?

We have experienced short delays in receiving tickets and slow response times from the platform sometimes, it has not happened consistently, however it may also be due to the quality of our internet connection on those occasions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
