Generates comprehensive system status updates for trend analysis, but the customization features need enhancement
The adoption of Kaseya has significantly enhanced our IT service and delivery management compared to our previous reliance on Excel-based processes. The transition has provided us with essential reports on resource utilization. Additionally, the platform generates comprehensive status updates on open tickets and allows for trend analysis. The product does not provide automation features. We have to integrate third-party tools for automatic ticketing. Its reporting capabilities could be enhanced as well. I rate it a six out of ten.
Anil  Rao - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved problem-solving and has a user-friendly knowledge base
The primary benefit of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is its ease of use. It provides a simpler and more intuitive interface for creating semi-automated use cases and managing problem solutions. This simplicity makes it particularly suitable for less technical staff to use effectively. Additionally, its ability to interpret issues and offer solutions based on its knowledge base makes problem-solving faster. The deployment and use of all policies and user cases are seamless.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to produce daily summary reports."
"There's no problem with the software."
"I have been impressed by how easy it is to operate and how easy the structure is to manage service tickets. If they request an incident problem train, it's a very strong model. Another strong feature in the tool is the CMDB."
"Referring to its on-premises deployment, it is easy to use and easy to deploy. Cloud deployment is done on its own. It is very easy to navigate, and the GUI is quite friendly. In terms of product functionality, we really like the ESL version. We can host multiple instances of services on a single server, such as one help desk and multiple instances."
"I like that ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus has everything and can be integrated into a single product like SAP. It has also got operations, helpdesk, MDM, and everything integrated. Multiple products can be integrated into one product. You don't have to go for them separately. I also like that they have many partners in India who can come to the site and complete installations."
"The solution overall has been quite stable."
"We not only handle tickets, but also requests from many departments. All are easy to manage."
"We have not faced any stability issues or challenges with this tool."
"The management of this application is good."
 

Cons

"Kaseya Vorex's customization features could be better."
"We should be able to monitor the performance of assets, not only documents. For example, printers. We should be able to monitor ink levels and get notifications when the ink is low. In another operation manager I use, they send me a notification when the device is off, or has something to perform."
"If it could have a tighter integration with Microsoft 365, particularly for email flow, it would be great."
"The reporting capabilities are not as good as Ivanti's. So, ManageEngine could certainly improve on that."
"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."
"I would like to see a clearer distinction between ManageEngine Cloud, ServiceDesk Plus, and ManageEngine Enterprise. That way, choosing the best one is better informed. Initially, I struggled to understand the difference, but I figured it out later."
"I think the user interface needs to be improved and needs to be enhanced to be more supportive to users."
"It is sometimes a bit slow. If it can have a quicker response time, it would be good for users, service desk engineers, and technicians. For service requests, they don't have an SLA for each priority. For a service request, the SLA of response or resolution is only one irrespective of the priority. SLA should be different for each priority. For a ticket, there is no response SLA for the service request. For resolution SLA, that is, P1, P2, P3, or whatever you define, you still have the same SLA. It should be different."
"ManageEngine needs to improve its handling of large volumes, as it cannot manage transaction volumes as effectively as ServiceNow."
