N-able MSP Manager vs. Oracle IT Service Management Suite

It's a good company to grow with because as needs change there are more features available.

It is helpful when someone wants to reassign issues and delegate tasks to other co-workers. However, it is not a good place for documentation because it is difficult to navigate older issue tickets. This is my personal experience with RightNow, an Oracle application used to manage our incident reports and project tracking documents

• It kept a log of all our issue tickets going back many years.
• Oracle made it easy to collaborate on issue tickets and work with my team members.
• It offered a number of features for formatting and inserting images and links, to make our issue tickets resemble an email.
• Oracle helped our department to delegate issue tickets and monitor each other's projects.

• It is just simply too slow! The web interface requires patience, even when moving between tabs or menu choices. This is by far the biggest detracting element of MSP Manager.
• Input customization -- I would like the settings pages to allow me to customize some input screens, especially the Ticket Entry window. The "Quick Ticket" entry is missing a few key items I want in a trouble ticket, and the full ticket entry window has numerous fields I never use or are always the same, and so it just takes more time and effort than is necessary.
• Both the asset tracking and the knowledge base should be more robust and integrally tied into the RMM console, so that licenses, serial numbers, procedures, network data are quick and simple to access from either interface.

• The search function was very poor, which made it difficult to find our issue tickets in RightNow.
• The Reply feature was kind of messy at times, it was difficult to find out who originally sent in tickets and reply all to people.
• It could have looked a bit sleeker, it looked somewhat outdated in the RightNow function.

They're good at resolving issues when they arise.

MSP Manager is a fully serviced paid option. Spiceworks is a free helpdesk. They both are very useful, but a company can just outgrow Spiceworks.

• We have had to spend time and resources to create our own reports, as MSP Manager does not have them.
• Searching for a ticket requires scrolling, wasting time

• It was helpful because it was our only system for organizing incident reports, and it was where I worked 70% of the time to correspond with our customers.
• The interface was sometimes time-consuming to use, and I wondered if there would have been a more streamlined program to use. It made our work seem slow at times.
• This program did provide us with a back-log of all of our issues, so it was important for us to use to in order to find repeated incident reports.
