DimitriosArvanitakis - PeerSpot reviewer
Quality support, intuitive GUI, and helpful alerting
The solution needs to invest in the development of a knowledge base and use of AI services for providing event resolution and intervention directions based on: - The HW vendor - The alert type - The installed applications - The server OS/VM type and version - The interfaces between the various infrastructure elements - The network topology - The predefined event/alert correlation system rules They need to enhance the system's capabilities to detect network security breaches based on the aforementioned knowledge base and AI services and the relevant network security architecture.
Ashish  Paikrao - PeerSpot reviewer
Effectively generates alerts for incidents, making it suitable for 24/7 monitoring of infrastructure
We were exploring ManageEngine ServiceDesk. So, we need a feature where we can, like, when an alert triggers, we should alert the recipient by on-call. So, when an alert is detected, a ticket is generated in the management team, and we want to notify them on-call. Like, this ticket has been generated and stuff. So, I would like to see a similar feature in this solution. This is why we want an alternative to PagerDuty. We want an alternative to PagerDuty. So we are getting on-call notifications using PagerDuty, but now we want to replace PagerDuty with ManageEngine ServiceDesk. So whenever some incident happens in the cloud infrastructure, we get data alerts from cloud security. We want to integrate a service that will provide us with notifications on-call. That this server is down, or this website is down, or this thing is going wrong. Another area of improvement is integration. It cannot be integrated with our upgraded Jira system. That's why we are dropping PagerDuty. We won't continue using it due to integration issues.
