iSupport vs. Ivanti LANDESK Service Desk (discontinued)

Tech tickets and engineering support. The best thing about iSupport is the ability to make custom views and filters. For instance, I have my view set up so I can see when the case was opened, the priority, product, and the customer. I also set it up so if any case has not been updated for 5 days it will turn red notifying me that I need to update the customer.

I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an ITSM solution. Overall the team is very easy to work with and the solution is on par with others in the market. We have no complaints about the product and we are scaling it to meet our growing needs.

Incentivized

• Very organized
• Easy to track and follow-up
• Great for engineers to prioritize and track all incidents and product related requests that are needed. The real time email system is great exposure across the company as well.

Incentivized

• Follow pre-defined workflows for ticket types.
• Properly route tickets & messages to internal users.
• Offer a simplified interface for writing message templates and workflows.

Incentivized

• Although it's great to have everything in one place, it can be a little hard to read sometimes in terms of the amount of tickets and being able to decipher between multiple [issues]. Color coordination might be able to help with this for example.

Incentivized

• Interface could use a facelift
• Communicate with users from tickets
• When all task have been completed the option to close the ticket should be available, or it just hangs out there

Support system is very good. I believe they have done an excellent job supporting our questions

They only system that I can compare against Service Desk is ConnectWise. With that in mind, I definitely see that Service Desk is much easier to maintain, design and improve. The visual representation of processes does assist with seeing how it's working. However, the window design is still severely lacking in comparison.

Incentivized

• Saves time and positive ROI as we don't take the time anymore to hold meetings to discuss all incidents. As a software tool, it is amazingly customizable and gives us tons of control over what each department, support representative, or user can see. This is important for us because we have currently 2 separate support departments using iSupport as well as confidential and personal information that goes through the system.

Incentivized

• Our Help Desk agents have been able to streamline the incident process and we were able to create template for common types of calls like lock-outs and password resets. This has saved the help desk a ton of time and helps resolve customer issues more quickly
• The change management module allowed us to completely transform our process. It is now simple and intuitive to enter a change and have it approved and worked.
• The CMDB module has allowed us to begin tracking our assets in one place and seeing how they relate to each other. This is something that was not available prior and it has streamlined our organization.
