The documentation could be more thorough. For complex workflows or highly customized processes, I sometimes need workarounds or extra configuration effort to get things working smoothly. Support also used to be much better than it is now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SolarWinds Service Desk Review"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SolarWinds Service Desk?

SolarWinds Service desk is a great solution for a small company. Our company is using it to replace our Spiceworks ticket system with a ITSM system that is built for small to medium sized businesses. The interface has built in features such as an asset system to track any network device, computer and assign them to users. It also pulls all the info of the asset that it is able as well as peripherals that are attached to the system. SolarWinds also offers a workflow option to automatically assign tickets to certain groups or users that handle certain tasks such as new hire workflows where many steps or tasks need to be completed by different people. SolarWinds helps this make a workflow to go though all these steps with each user completing their task in the workflow to help track the progress of a ticket from start to finish.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Service Desk?

One of the main thing that is frustrating about SolarWinds Service desk is the search function for Asset management. For some reason you must put in the entire computer name when looking up machines Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solarwinds Service Desk is my memory"
4/5
What do you like best about SolarWinds Service Desk?

Solarwinds Service Desk (SWSD) is my historical memory. That is its greatest feature. With so many small and unique application tickets coming, this is my goto repository for recalling steps toward resolution. Its features allow the relating of similar tickets, problems and solutions, all leading toward quick solving of problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Service Desk?

- Lack of fixed font for documenting code

- I don't think tag searching works very well

- Inability to search by subcategory

- Solution images are falling off. Images speak 1,000 words and are critical in solutions. I've been told that I am not saving the images correctly, that I should not be pasting images but instead saving images to disk and then importing them. Nope. Sorry. Paste works fine. If the application is not able to handle that correctly, solve the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
