Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product
Agiloft has a great support team to help the process along. They are affordable, friendly, and knowledgeable. The tech support team acts like walking encyclopedias. They know databases and programming. After all these years, we hardly need to speak to Agiloft anymore. However, they have great customer support. Every time we need something from them, they make our small troubles go away quickly.

Enterprise Solutions & Services Head at Duroob Technology
A fairly stable solution that’s highly mature, but has a poor user interface
The solution does not align as modern service solutions do. Seamless integration is no available among the processes. Their service management application needs a lot of work. It’s in a really bad state right now. They brought on a new interface that clumped all the processes and features of the solution into one. Still, it’s not really compatible with other solutions. Because of this, its rating has dropped in Gardner. The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements. The product needs to implement a cloud platform solution, which is lacking so far. Their workflow engine is still segregated. It’s not embedded. If you need to do some workflow approvals, you cannot do them directly on the service desk. You have to go into Outlook and do an approval or you have to go in through another screen to handle the approval because the workflow engine they have is a separate product.

Pros

"Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product."
"Because this product is infinitely customizable and easily developed, we are using it for other applications."
"This product paid for itself within the first six months of use, and after about six months, we started making a return on our investment at more than 300%."
"The support is pretty good, the follow up is great; it is 24 hours, so that’s been useful, and it has a good escalation path, which is essential."
"Essential service management solution all in one, like 100- for service request, 200- for change request, 300- for incidents, 400- for problems."
"It provides us with a very easy and flexible UI for CA Nimsoft Service Desk 7."
"This is the best product for Large Infrastructure companies/organizations to monitor their infrastructures/servers etc."
"The solution is a highly mature product. Because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."
"Using the self-service functionalities we have been able to eliminate a lot of the support phone calls, and actually reduce a lot of our help desk staff."
"Improved the effectiveness of my Service Desk Team and improved the SLA timing."
"The most valuable features for me are scalable architecture, customization potential where the UI, background, and data movement allow you to tailor to the nitty gritty details of what you might need in your environment, and advanced workflow management."
 

Cons

"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"We have been seeing a little bit of latency here and there, but we haven't been able to identify it."
"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
"The deployment was very difficult to handle. It's an unnecessarily difficult process that requires third-party assistance to do correctly."
"It loses points because it’s not GUI enough, too code-y."
"This is not appropriate for a small or even a medium-sized business. Too much overhead for a small company."
"I would love to see better two-factor authentication as that would really help us and make a big difference."
"Actually this product and its limitations reduced the Service Desk effectiveness compared to the product we were using."
"Usability for IT analysts could be improved."
