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.

Easy to configure and affordable compared to other software options
I think asset management took a hit recently. They changed the way they do it by moving it to their patch management software, which no longer supports an agent installed on the computers. In my opinion, this was a step backward for them, as I didn't need the patch management but rather the agents and remote capabilities that the agent brought without the additional costs and overhead. It still works via script running on the computer, but that's not the same as being able to install it and have it run or send a live feed.

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 most valuable feature is the ticketing system which is working well."
"The auto-routing feature saves a lot of effort, where we used to spend a lot of time manually assigning things."
"The platform's most beneficial features are incident management, change management, request management, and asset management."
"I am enjoying the report features, they are quite good."
"The workflow automation is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"ManageEngine provides additional modules that we can integrate in the future."
"When somebody wants to follow up with a problem from the past, the solution makes it easy. It keeps everything in one system and updated."
"We not only handle tickets, but also requests from many departments. All are easy to manage."
 

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."
"New features may be introduced as add-ons, which could require additional payments from users to access these new functionalities."
"If it could have a tighter integration with Microsoft 365, particularly for email flow, it would be great."
"The documentation could be improved."
"I think the user interface needs to be improved and needs to be enhanced to be more supportive to users."
"There is room for improvement in the automation. ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus should take note of repeated incidents and automatically offer solutions to them."
"I expected more features than it has. The flexibility is missing. I also was expecting a different level of configuration and segregation."
"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."
"It needs more customization and the ability to generate reports based on custom feeds. At present, if you create a custom feed in any form, you cannot create a report based on those criteria."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is reasonable and it was well within my budget."
"The pricing model is very competitive."
"Cost-wise, we're quite happy."
"It is cheaper than the competitors."
"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is much cheaper than many of its competitors. We pay about nine dollars per agent and one dollar per device. There are no hidden costs."
"When I compared it with a similar product, ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus was $2,000 cheaper."
"I am using the free edition of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus. There are different versions available, such as professional."
"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."
"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus has reasonable pricing because my colleagues mentioned that the solution is more cost-effective than the previous one the company used."
"It is cheaper than its competitors."
