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.

Difficult to deploy, hard to configure on the go, and poor technical support
Everything with this solution has room for improvement. The service provider version is MS and it is not getting frequent updates. When we tried to upgrade a couple of weeks ago, it ruined the database and we had to restore it. We lost a couple of tickets that were raised at that time. The solution is not good in terms of change management. The support is not 24-7 so you have to wait for the support person to start their shift. We are not getting good support from the ManageEngine team so the technical support can be improved. The reporting is not that good. The high-level graphs which we need to grab for our management, are not clear at all. For example, when I extract the weekly reports for management for the P1, P2, and P3 tickets they are all a mess. The graphs are not clear and can be improved. The SLA timer also doesn't work well. We have set our working hours to be from this day to this day but the timer doesn't stop for some reason. We have raised a couple of tickets with ManageEngine and we didn't receive support. The solution has all the features, but it is not clear. The UI and UX need to be improved because it is not easy to configure on the go.

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 ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus SaaS model helped us because it was easy on our pockets but also easy to use, configure, and manage."
"I rate the solution a ten out of ten for scalability."
"It's very easy to customize the tool to your business needs."
"The solution is interactive and flexible so engineers find it much easier to work with than other tools."
"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."
"The management of this application is good."
"Overall this is an easy and convenient solution to use."
"The most valuable features are project management, change management, and the flow according to the mail chain."
 

Cons

"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."
"Better connectivity and integration with more collaborative platforms would be helpful."
"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus could improve by having better integration with Microsoft Azure."
"They could improve the screens."
"Customization has room for improvement in ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus."
"ManageEngine has developed and implemented new features in its cloud version. I would like to see the features extended to the on-premises version."
"I'd like to understand more technical features due to the fact that I want to teach globally. I understand all the questions in the search engine. I want to find more technical information about the product."
"The UI for the app needs improvement."
"The reporting capabilities are not as good as Ivanti's. So, ManageEngine could certainly improve on that."
"It would be better if they could just bring up interface changes because, from the past five years, I don't see any difference in the way or look and feel of the application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model is very competitive."
"The price of this solution is reasonable and it was well within my budget."
"The only issue for us is the pricing, which is quite high in comparison with the competition."
"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is a reasonably priced product."
"For our 500 assets that are using the professional version of the solution, we pay somewhere between $4,000 and $5,000 per year."
"The prices are attractive. Customer can use a subscription if they do not have enough budget."
"As compared to a lot of systems out there, it is more affordable."
"Pricing can always be improved and made more affordable."
"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."
"Its price is very lucrative. It would be great if the price can come down, but overall, its price is great. It is half or maybe one-third of the price of other market leaders."
