"I competent help desk ticketing system with good asset management and search capabilities."

3/5

What do you like best about SolarWinds Web Help Desk?

Easy to get acquainted with, sound email alerts, integrated asset management software, and powerful search capabilities. Also, owning a software license and running on a local server can be very appealing to those who want local control and hosting without recurring fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Web Help Desk?

Timely updates to the software had been very sporadic in the past, which caused our organization to look for other help desk providers. While it appears that the software is occasionally updated, it isn't at the same rate as competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a bit slow in loading the objects, and adding custom columns makes it slower.

"Uncomplicated, gets the job done"

4/5

What do you like best about SolarWinds Web Help Desk?

I like the integration possibilities with other Asset Management products. Having that helps to quickly get to associate clients with their assets and the integration with Dameware helps as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Web Help Desk?

The method of batch roll-outs to other computers is not intuitive. There needs to be some easy guidance in the program itself that helps users to get where they are going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SolarWinds Web Help Desk:

This solution is a solid offering but does not go for all the features you may find in other more expensive solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SolarWinds Web Help Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping tasks from falling through the cracks. Users are very comfortable with stating that they "told" I.T. and then months later reporting that they could not get what they needed to get done because of "insert excuse here." Requiring a process change that insists on a ticket has helped to reduce that problem. Benefits realized include the ability to see patterns in tickets, which lead to insights into actions we can take to reduce tickets, and improve business processes.

Solarwinds is one the most comprehensive and best solution in the market. It is like a one-stop shop for most of the organizations. IT service desk is almost mandatory for every organization to keep it running and there is nothing better than SolarWinds out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Web Help Desk?

There are very few cons in SolarWinds; however, ticket locking is one thing that I miss. For example, when a support agent is looking at a ticket it must be locked to make others aware of it. Searching can also be improved, which will be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For anyone looking for a service desk solution, SolarWinds is a no-brainer. They have an excellent product along with support. The best thing is that this solution is flexible and can be used by a small company or an enterprise. It is one of the best solutions currently available in the market.
