Featured Reviews

Fabio QUINTANILHA - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable and scalable solution that has excellent features and is useful for collecting data and building KPIs
As much as possible, we use the out-of-the-box features. We do very few customizations. We follow the schedule to refresh the versions when they come up. As an end-user, I am not happy with the scalability. We have to wait a long time to buy more capacity. It is not an issue with the tool. Our team must manage it better. ServiceNow is a powerful tool. As long as we have enough users, it works. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
Abhishek Bhosle - PeerSpot reviewer
Good ticketing tool but limitations with integration
We use ManageEngine, but it's still pretty new and under development. We used SummitAI for about four years before switching to ManageEngine. There are specific features that were missing in SummitAI that we're hoping to find in ManageEngine. We were informed that ManageEngine was a new ticketing tool with modern and advanced analytics, which would be a better fit than SummitAI with its older engine. Firstly, ManageEngine allows detailed asset inventory per user. I, as a user, can store authentication details like which laptop and mobile I use, for all employees. Secondly, ManageEngine can handle patching, Windows updates, and pushing applications from the server to desktops. Finally, ManageEngine lets us do remote access directly through the tool.
