We are using Manage Engine ServiceDesk Plus as our incident management solution. Our users are opening tickets through ServiceDesk PLus with selecting right categories and options, then tickets are assigning to related technical support agents. With this workflow, we can control and monitoring our incident management process. Also this tool provide us a chance to show our effort on tickets.

It is used by about 75% the organisation to log help requests with the IT department. It allows us to have a record of all of our in progress help requests, and assign them to the relevant technician. It also allows a record of fixes/changes to be kept where anyone in the IT dept can access.

ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is used by our IT department primarily to track tickets/requests submitted by users via email from all our different company locations. In addition, we also use it as a knowledge garden for us in IT to store solutions to common problems so they can be easily retrieved using keywords if a similar problems occurs further down the road.

At our organization, we used ManageEngine's Service Desk Plus for over two years. During that time it acted as our one and only Information Technology ticking system. The entire organization was instructed to put all Information Technology requests into Service Desk Plus either through the web portal or via an email that automatically generated a ticket.

ServiceDesk is the best practice Information Technology management software. Its features allow it to easily integrate with most of our IT applications and automations, and it stands out among the best tool for Software management. It also allowed you to track all the software across the enterprise, and create a report on it. It gives you better visibility and insights into all the machines being used in the organization.

We use ServiceDesk Plus for many reasons. Mainly as a point of contact for our end users to inform IT if there are any server, computer, network or software related issues. It is being used as our main ticketing system. We have five locations across the United States and this is used by everyone, with knowledge-based articles, videos, and various self-help accommodations.

ServiceDesk Plus has many other integrations that we utilize for end users to reset network passwords if needed, and for our daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly analytics. We can track problems as they come in and notice a "trend" of certain issues. We also use ServiceDesk Plus for our Asset management. Each computer and mobile device is managed through ServiceDesk Plus and can be monitored and tracked and even deploy software and patches.

We use most of the features with in ServiceDesk Plus, including the Purchasing, CMDB, Asset Management, and Change Management features.

We use ServiceDesk extensively for our ticketing and inventory of computer equipment. The entire organization uses it to submit tickets to our IT team and this helps with unnecessary calls to the Helpdesk. Users are able to submit a ticket along with the errors they are experiencing. We can quickly reply back with a resolution or triage the ticket. The system also allows us to set levels of importance to the tickets so high priority items are addressed quickly.

ServiceDesk Plus is being used across the entire organization. It allows each department to report issues and functions as a help desk. It also provides some reporting capability in order to improve our service to the organization. We also used to use it to manage all of our software contracts and expirations.

We use ServiceDesk for end user support, asset management, and for reminders/checklists. End users are all able to submit and view tickets for themselves. They may either use the web interface or simply email an internal email address that will automatically create a ticket for them. Asset management is probably the most robust feature the software provides. We are able to do absolutely everything we need with over 2000 IT assets in the company. Finally, we use the recurring ticket feature and templates to assist the IT department with day to day tasks such as onboarding/offboarding, inventory reminders, health checks, etc.

We use ServiceDesk Plus MSP to run our incident, request, problem and change management. We provide managed network and cloud services to multiple external customers, and need a system that can handle managing multiple customers with multiple services, whilst adhering to multiple SLAs.

I currently use ServiceDesk Plus for placing all orders for our department (IT). I also process tickets, run reports and track assets. It is being used organization wide for placing tickets for IT issues, asset tracking and multiple reports and projects. It has helped with streamlining our purchase requests and making it all electronic.

ServiceDesk Plus is a great ticketing system for IT departments. It helps keep all service requests neat and organized, and also gives you the ability to search past issues for resolutions on reoccurring issues. The user management is very easy and a breeze to work with. I have used many ticketing systems throughout my IT career (Zendesk, ServiceDesk Plus, Outlook Email, etc.,) and ServiceDesk Plus is for sure my number one. I would recommend this product to any IT Department of any size company.

Servicedesk plus is currently being used by both the Desktop Support Team and the Application Support Team. It replaced Jira as our primary ticketing software in the IT department. Other departments are observing our use, and are strongly considering converting. We use it primarily as an incident and service request tracking system, as well as managing problems.
