Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a simple solution that is easy to configure.""We've been in contact with Microsoft technical support mainly. After doing the research ourselves and troubleshooting, etc., if we can't find a permanent solution, we contact Microsoft to help us fix the issue. Sometimes the issue never gets fixed even by Microsoft. It can sometimes require us to reinstall the solution. However, these are very rare instances.""This solution is easy to use.""A very convenient package like an all-in-one tool but it is actually five or six products acting well together.""It is quite scalable.""The most requested feature from our customers is the helpdesk ticketing system.""The solution is quite easy to integrate with other Microsoft products.""For our cloud-based deployment of SCSM, the Autopilot is the best feature."

"The solution is a highly mature product. Because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."

More Serviceaide ChangeGear Pros →

Cons
"The patch management aspect of the solution should be improved. It's quite complicated and not user-friendly. If your systems are not patched properly, you are unable to pull reports.""The configuration could be easier.""One of the disadvantages in this product is that the reporting module is not very easy. It requires SQL development skills, which not all customers or IT professionals have.""They need more integration with open-source products.""The logs and reporting-related features of the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""The solution could be more simple. For example, it takes a lot of work to create reports. It runs on Microsoft SQL queries. Creating custom reports on ManageEngine takes less work from the administrator.""Once we had an issue with a desktop download that would not open.""It's not too hard to compile stuff but it is hard to manage the solution. Even the design itself makes it difficult for management."

  • "It is a lower price vs. other things on the market."
  • "It is an expensive solution."

  • "I would rate the pricing as two out of five."
