It includes core help desk and IT management applications, as well as project management, contract management and features for ITIL (information technology infrastructure library) compliance. ServiceDesk Plus incorporates tools to help users establish process automation. It offers an automatic ticket dispatch function, which distributes new tickets to technicians based on their existing caseload and availability. This helps to manage staff workloads while minimizing the accumulation of unassigned tickets and the service degradations they can cause. Other tools include asset management, a knowledge base builder, project management functions and service level agreement management. Further automation is provided by the "business rules" feature included with ServiceDesk Plus. This allows tickets to be automatically classified, categorized, prioritized and assigned based on a variety of dynamic criteria or rules. ServiceDesk Plus is available as an on-premise installation or as a cloud-hosted service with ServiceDesk Plus On-Demand. > > Verdict: Rated **4.4/5** by 229 users.

It has Incident/Request Management, Change Managements, Project Management (Waterfall), Inventory Management, etc. This kind of management capabilities can easily align the customers' environments easily. Additionally, they have many integration capabilities like MS Teams, Endpoint Central, Jira and these are just native ones. With custom integrations, many products can be integrated with it. > > **Cons**: Even if it has great tools, I believe the AI capabilities should be extended when incident and/or request tickets are being handled easily. Additionally, the ServiceDesk Plus Failover feature should be more smooth and easy to configure. > > I like ServiceDesk Plus as an ITSM tool and because its modules can be aligned according to its licencing, it helps customers' wallet thin. It has many integration capabilities which is very important for changed customer environments and templates for Incidents/Requests are very customizable according to the needs as well as the Request LifeCycle configs. ----- ### "My experience has been amazing and productive" — 5.0/5 > **Nicat** | *3 May 2023* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Among the alternatives, it was the most convenient to set up and use. It has a user-friendly interface > > **Cons**: It's a very convenient product, I like ManagEngine's products in general, but sometimes additional add-ons can be a bit expensive. > > As an IT professional, solutions such as ManageEngine are essential for the prompt service delivery of HelpDesk employees within the organization. ManageEngine has many features. They are remote connection, video call and chat functions. You can even manage the computer's services or system files without connecting to the computer's desktop. I work in an organization with 500 employees, and the ManageEngine was very helpful in providing technical support. However, the availability of the ticket system in the ManageEngine makes it easier for you to give detailed reports to both the work efficiency and the management. ----- ### "Not ready for cloud" — 4.0/5 > **Austin** | *11 July 2019* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: ManageEngine comes out of the box with a number of pre-built workflows that can minimize time required for implementation and it integrates directly with TeamViewer which can be a huge benefit for technicians who frequently perform remote support. > > **Cons**: The interface was not as simple or easy to use as other service desk applications out there and the ability to run scripts from the tool in order to automate self-service requests required the entire application to be installed on-prem. Sadly, the ability to execute reports requires a third party tool at an extra cost. ----- ### "Great software, could use more features" — 4.0/5 > **Harry** | *18 November 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Multiple of the applications ManageEngine provide can be integrated with one another (not all at this current time) but this allows a more fluid and easy management of the services.The functionality of adding our assets and having a helpdesk in a single location is convenient and does the job required. There is also a feature on pages which if what you required isn't available in a "features" aspect, you can request it, however it isn't clear on when it will be implemented other than in a future version. > > **Cons**: The functionality can be confusing for some features, some configurations need to be done in the admin settings when logically, I think being able to edit them in the current page you're on which the change relates to would be more convenient. Also there isn't a timeline of features being implemented, so it's not clear if the features you may want, are going to happen. > > It's a great piece of software/service to have, it could do with being more fluid from an administrators point of view, but it's improving during the time we've been using it. ----- ### "A complete, easy to deploy and use, customizable service management solution" — 5.0/5 > **Sergio** | *30 January 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It sports a complete set of well-designed and ITIL-oriented functions; it can fit both a small firm and an enterprise - with proper licensing and setup. Complete, customizable, easy to use, clear to setup, integrated with other Managengine (and 3rd party) solutions. > > **Cons**: As per my latest experience (2019) workflow management could be improved; while it's not its primary focus, still it could give great advantages in automating service workflows (eg joiner \& leavers). > > We implemented it in a hared service center serving more than 40 legal entities, with approximately 2,000 workstations/users and about 36 technicians. We gradually implemented it and had the chance to streamline processes and customize the solution for our different companies. Integration with email and AD was a great help in setting up the environment with no additional work. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/360387/manageengine-servicedesk-plus?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/360387/manageengine-servicedesk-plus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
