    When a Service Desk agent receives a request from a user to fulfill and an incident occurs during implementation, VMWare Service Manager (VSM) will be able to link all events and correlate records across the system.

    The concept of the solution is a good one and in theory, Hornbill Supportworks ITSM is good for incoming inquiries/tickets management. The inquiries can be automatically captured by a user submitting a request, and an email notification is sent to both the Helpdesk team and the customer. The inquiries are then tracked, alerting the team when the SLA is about to be/has been breached. Once the inquiry has been resolved, it notifies all relevant parties, as well as time-stamps the action.

    • The interface is quite hard work, not very visually friendly
    • It all just feels a bit old fashioned and needs a reboot
    • This may be an internal process, but not everyone has access, so quite frequently I have to pick requests up and then take them out of the Supportworks system.

    • The system 'does what it says on the tin' - it captures and helps manage incoming inquiries - so the positive impact is there.
    • However, this is not done in the most intuitive or user-friendly manner. This causes frustration at times.
    • Overall, a single centralized system for managing customer inquiries and requests is paramount for any mid-size business, particularly if this business is service-based
