"SolarWinds Service Desk: Managing IT Services Efficiently"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SolarWinds Service Desk?

One of its significant advantages is an elegant and intuitive interface. It is much easier to use than other available ITSM solutions; hence, adoption by the team would be easier, requiring less initial training. The ticket management function is also rather straightforward to navigate, with incidents, service requests, and changes being neatly organized.

The automation options are one of the solution's most valuable assets. Setting up different workflows would allow automating many processes, such as ticket routing and approvals or routine actions, thus saving time.

Another advantage is that it includes the option for setting up a knowledge base to make problem-solving by the staff easier, as they can consult existing information without having to create new tickets each time.

The ability to manage assets along with tickets is another great asset, making it possible to find more information about the equipment used, which may be helpful during troubleshooting.

Lastly, the product is compatible with ITIL standards, while maintaining some flexibility, which is great for organizations looking to adhere to ITIL guidelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Service Desk?

Another constraint is customization, whereby even though it allows for the configuration of systems, further deep-level customizations, such as workflows, form creation and reporting, might feel somewhat limited compared to other ITSM software. Companies with unique processes may find themselves running into walls rather fast.

Report and analysis generation, while easy at the basic level, could present challenges when creating more customized and complex reporting structures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
