ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus: A Comprehensive ITSM Solution
Our overall experience with ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus has been positive. The software has been reliable and has allowed us to streamline our IT service management processes. The cost is a bit of a barrier, but the features and capabilities that it offers make it worth the investment.
PROSManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is an invaluable asset to our organization. Its intuitive user interface and comprehensive feature set make it easy to track, manage, and report on IT service requests. Automation capabilities, such as self-service portals, allow users to quickly submit and track their requests, while IT staff can quickly access and respond to service requests. The reporting capabilities are robust and allow us to quickly assess the performance of our IT services.
CONSOne of the drawbacks of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is the cost. For a comprehensive ITSM solution, it can be quite pricey. Additionally, it does not offer a lot of customizability in terms of the user interface, which can be a bit of a challenge for users who are accustomed to a certain workflow.
Reasons for switching to ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus offers a great combination of features and capabilities for an ITSM solution. It is more user-friendly than many of its alternatives, and its automation capabilities can help to streamline the service request process. Additionally, the reports it generates are comprehensive and provide great insight into the performance of our IT services.

Way better Service Desk applications out there
When it comes to bare basics, ServiceDesk Plus can get the job done. The sorting by order of attributes is easy enough. Simple ticket resolution is easy enough. Inputting attributes such as location and the nature of the request is easy enough. Picking up unassigned requests is easy. The asset search function is actually quite useful when doing a quick track of company assets.
CONSThe search function is nearly useless and if you have a LOT of tickets in the immediate archive, good luck finding it. The inability to search tickets by requester name is non-existent, the inline reply of ticket requests is extremely limited to the point that you might as well simply contact the client directly through your own company email rather than SDP itself.

My experience with ManageEngine ServiceDesk
Our work has been made easier by helpdesk ticketing and we have been able to assign and manage our tasks accordingly.
PROSWhat I like most is creating different user groups with different roles.
CONSThere's nothing that I don't like about ManageEngine ServiceDesk. All its features are excellent, to be honest.
Reason for choosing ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
ManageEngine is more user-friendly and, after going through the testing phase, we concluded that it is more suitable for our infrastructure.

A very customizable ITSM tool
ServiceDesk Plus is a great ITSM software that help us offer and attend the end users' requests/incidents. We started using the Standard edition and now we use the Enterprise edition. You can increase the modules in time, is not mandatory to purchase the most complete edition at first.
PROSThe interface is very friendly, you don't need to have so many knowledge about ITIL and ServiceDesk Plus will help you to improve your Help Desk service.
CONSThe ZIA bot that is bundled only works in english, there are so many customers that needs spanish support and ZIA doesn't support it.
Reason for choosing ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
ServiceDesk Plus offered the same functionalities of ServiceNow for less money and ZenDesk didn't has the required modules.
Reasons for switching to ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
The interface of ServiceDesk Plus is most friendly for the end users and technicians.

A bit separated but getting better
Overall, we've seen our share of good and bad days with SDP. Keeping up with their constant updates requires a lot of diligence, but the ability to expand the application and the number of other applications they are integrating with works really well for the price.
PROSIn general, if you're just looking for helpdesk software to get started, but something you can expand later, this is a great option.
CONSSome of the options are not fully integrated and it's obvious they were completed by different design teams. For example, the Change Log and Project management sections don't seem to flow with the rest of the ticketing and service sections.

A basic Helpdesk software
I enjoy the product. We can spend more time handling tickets and less time managing the program that handles tickets.
PROSIt's pretty cheap and easy to setup. It is a basic helpdesk service out of the box, ready to go. There are no agents to install on computers, a plus for us. Updates are pretty easy to do as well.
CONSThe product is updated almost monthly and when we do get time to update, there are a bunch of them to do. They are all incremental and can't just run the latest.
Reason for choosing ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
It was cheaper and seemed to do the basics we needed it to.

Excellent tool to start operating a service desk to align with ITIL
The solution is very easy to deploy, operate and manage, and it is also ready to install and use. It is required to have basic knowledge in the administration of help desks to be able to administer correctly.
PROSIt is very easy to implement, very friendly and out of the box "install and use"
CONSThe manufacturer invests a lot in developing the part of requests and incidents but has left aside modules such as problems, projects or changes.

Good ITSM platform for its money
A good product with offerings to meet its competitors in the market they focus upon. Many features, which are useful in routine ITSM operations with integrations to number of platforms, including Microsoft Teams. A bit backwards comparing the automation capabilities based upon AI like in competing products. However, can say that the product offers a value for money s upon spent it.
PROSA really good product with value for money offerings. Nice dashboards with intuitive and user-friendly UIs to keep you attracted towards the product. Relatively easy to set-up and deploy with easy integrations to other product offerings from Manage Engine. The built-in templates are really helpful and can be employed with customisations based on requirement basis to need clients unique requirements.
CONSProduct support has been a concern which is one of the key reasons for the product being not getting the respective place in market against competition. There are many features and would require the support of the vendor to get them up and running perfectly. On-premise deployments tend to give lots of trouble, specially in the domain of getting them updated and patched. Further, would require additional components from other products to get the entire capabilities of an ITSM suite and thus would require to either deploy an agent along with the management consoles.

ManageEngine has Streamlined our Helpdesk!
We were previously on BMC RemedyForce and it would take me an entire day to configure a simple ticket template. It takes me mere minutes with ManageEngine. Their support staff and developers are the best in the business and I can't say enough good things about my experiences working with them.
PROSIt's easy to use and configure! Their support staff and community are absolutely incredible. They even have FREE master classes to help you learn more about how it works, and user conferences where the actual developers give you hands-on training, so you find out even more about administering it. You get a head's up about new features coming down the pipe. I just can't say enough good things about it!
CONSThe feature requests sometimes take a while to come through, but that you can put them in at all is a definite pro. They listen to their users!

Basic Helpdesk Application
Our company has been using ManageEngine plus ServiceDesk for our IT Helpdesk support system for several years now. Although this application has been reliable and used widely by our IT support team, it is limited on features and functionality. The support for the application from ManageEngine has been somewhat limited as well. If you are looking for a very basic IT support system, then ManageEngine's ServiceDesk might be a good fit. The application is just limited on what it can do and its ability to scale to fit our needs.
PROSServiceDesk Plus from ManageEngine is fairly easy to implement and provides the most basic needs of an IT support application.
CONSServiceDesk Plus from ManageEngine is very limited in features and functionality. It also has a fairly complex interface that is out of date. Our company has trouble tracking IT support tickets because of this limitation.

ServiceDesk Plus
I've read a lot of reviews where customers complain about ManageEngine's customer service and it really isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Yes, sometimes we need to wait for a solution but we aren't the only customer they have either. They usually get back to us sooner than later and the technicians are friendly and helpful.
PROSService desk plus is an IT ticketing program. It's fairly intuitive and somewhat easy to use out of the box. It does what it's supposed to do.
CONSIf you have Analytics Plus which provides a lot of information on your ticketing system, it can be difficult to get both Analytics and ServiceDesk to communicate with each other. We requested assistance and it took a while for ManageEngine to get back to us.

Versatile tool with a lot of features
We are a small shop and didn't want to spend a lot of money on a ServiceDesk software, but we are growing and need more functionatlity than we have now. We like dhow ServiceDesk bundled together Project management, Contract Management, Tickets, and Change requests all in one project. I have used the Project management the most so far and am impressed with the features it has. I like how you can create tasks and assign them to people outside of the IT department so that if users need to do some testing they can get reminders that we are waiting on them to complete something. The ticketing system has more features than we will likley need to use, but it's nice to have the flexibility.
CONSBecause there are so many modules in this software it leaves a little something to be desired in each module. I think overall there is plenty of functionality, but when you get into the details you might wish for a few more features. The Project Management module works well, but I wish I could email straight to the task items to keep them updated instead of having to go in and add comments directly.

A Reliable and Easy To Understand GUI
ManageEngine was so easy to setup and get onboard with. The easy to use GUI makes the transition from one software to another super easy. I'd like to think that our customer service has also improved as a result of it.
PROSThe GUI across all screens is very easy to use and, dare I say, appealing to use. Technicians, old and new, are able to get to grips with it. The ticket/incident screen, is incredibly good, as it gives you the right amount of detail without going overboard.
CONSAlthough the inbuilt reporting is good, the scope for custom reporting needs work. We'd like to be able to use more fields and move reports around to make the reports more bespoke to us.
