Helps us monitor customer ticket SLAs and enables us to understand why SLAs are missed and to improve our processes as a result
There are a lot of predefined reports but we asked for a lot of changes. The problem is that every organization has its own processes and needs. As a result, we had to do a lot of customization on the reporting. The reporting is okay, but it doesn't give you reports that make you say "wow," like you might see from a tool like MRTG or PRTG whose reports give you a good feeling. The detailing is not there in the Infraon Desk reports and there are no graphical elements in them. The reporting is slightly weak and needs to be improved. It should become a more graphical presentation of information. It's much more jazzy when you present something in a PowerPoint rather than a Word document. If the system is capturing a lot of data about certain parameters, I should have the option to generate a report based on all those parameters in any permutation and combination. That kind of flexibility is needed. The reports do help us to analyze and understand things at the customer level, but they could be better. Something that is missing is predefined dashboards. I would expect to see dashboards with some parameters that are predefined.

Improved problem-solving and has a user-friendly knowledge base
The primary benefit of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is its ease of use. It provides a simpler and more intuitive interface for creating semi-automated use cases and managing problem solutions. This simplicity makes it particularly suitable for less technical staff to use effectively. Additionally, its ability to interpret issues and offer solutions based on its knowledge base makes problem-solving faster. The deployment and use of all policies and user cases are seamless.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"There are a few dashboards and they are helpful because, in our organization, we have different groups of people who need different kinds of dashboards... as head of network operations, I need a top-level view. I want to see how many calls are open and how many calls are pending, on average, and some trend analysis. Whereas a manager in my team might like to see slightly more detail."
"Infraon Desk is very flexible in nature and can be customized for my needs. The fact that I can customize it the way I want is the best part of the tool for me."
"The solution overall has been quite stable."
"The self-service portal enhances our company's user experience."
"While I see the normal features of a ticketing system in ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, a good workflow engine is definitely present."
"It's very easy to customize the tool to your business needs."
"The solution offers a lot of opportunities for integrations."
"The ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus SaaS model helped us because it was easy on our pockets but also easy to use, configure, and manage."
"The strength is its pricing. It is easy to use."
"Overall, its integration is good. There is a lot of integration that we have done. All alerts are coming to ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus. Its VIP feature is also very useful where you can specify who are our VIPs. When the service desk engineer picks up the call and gets the name, he or she knows that the person is a VIP and treats him or her accordingly. It also has a mobile interface. Anybody can use the app to log cases. It is easy for the end users as well as for the approving party. For the workflow, it is easier for senior managers to give approvals through the mobile interface."
 

Cons

"Better connectivity and integration with more collaborative platforms would be helpful."
"The reporting is okay, but it doesn't give you reports that make you say "wow," like you might see from a tool like MRTG or PRTG whose reports give you a good feeling. The detailing is not there in the Infraon Desk reports and there are no graphical elements in them. The reporting is slightly weak and needs to be improved."
"The licensing model should be more flexible. The current approach requires individual licenses, which become costly."
"The self-service feature for end users and the knowledge base need to be improved."
"I would like to see a clearer distinction between ManageEngine Cloud, ServiceDesk Plus, and ManageEngine Enterprise. That way, choosing the best one is better informed. Initially, I struggled to understand the difference, but I figured it out later."
"Its reporting can be improved. It can have better analytics reports. Even though they provide integration with another tool called Analytics Plus to get those reports, it would be quite helpful to have them on the fly and out of the box. A lot of improvement is required in change management and release management. Their change management module is quite simple, and they need to do a lot of work on the change management module. The release management is out only on the cloud. It is not available in on-premises deployments. In the next release, I would like it to have effective project management. They do provide the project management and contracts management modules, but these modules need a bit of improvement."
"Currently, I cannot configure more than one point of contact. I have the MSP version, and we have around 80 or 90 customers. I don't see the features where I can configure multiple contact points for a customer so that they're notified when we are having an outreach or when we want to send them a planned maintenance notification. Other things that are lacking are mapping SLAs with vendors and mapping back on the tickets."
"I think that the tool should try to streamline the user interface even more because there are a lot of options that can be offered to users."
"We'd like to have more integration into other platforms."
"The reporting capabilities are not as good as Ivanti's. So, ManageEngine could certainly improve on that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model is very competitive."
"The price of this solution is reasonable and it was well within my budget."
"For 90 service agents and our need for a cloud solution with incident management and service request management, it annually costs around 12,000. If you need additional development or deployment support from the vendor, there might be an additional cost."
"The cost of licensing is approximately ten dollars per suite, per month. When scaling up, there are a lot of other expenses such as infrastructure, the telecommunication companies, etc."
"Pricing can always be improved and made more affordable."
"The licensing is around $10,000 per year."
"It is cheaper than the competitors."
"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is a reasonably priced product."
"We use the cloud model, which is subscription-based, and each year, the subscription fees seem to go up, making it a more expensive solution."
"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus' price is very reasonable."
