Overall Satisfaction with Samanage

Samanage is the organization's main IT helpdesk and service catalog. It was adopted to improve the service for the organization's users, to automate workflows and to provide better metrics for IT. Furthermore, Samanage being cloud-based means no on-premise maintenance or investment required. We required a helpdesk software that did not require an upfront capital investment, was fast to learn and implement.
  • Very user friendly interface
  • Great workflows
  • The service catalog is very useful and allows us to automate a lot of services we provide.
  • It would be great if there were more integrations
  • We would prefer if we could customize the landing page for our users
  • Samanage has enabled us to run IT support more efficiently, and resolve issues for our users in a timely manner. Reducing wasted person-hours for the majority of the organization's employees.
  • Samanage has also reduced the necessary steps for ordering services, through the service catalog, reducing the support hours spent.
We selected Samanage due to the lack of complexity implementing it, making it perfect for an IT shop requiring it's first IT helpdesk system. The other systems considered were all too complex and not nearly as user-friendly to administer. With Samanage we were able to get a system that was simple to use but still had powerful functionality.
Samanage is well suited for companies needing a simple to use cloud-based helpdesk system which still retains a lot of functionality. It has been surprisingly fast and easy to adapt and be a workhorse ensuring all our users gets timely support. IT can measure it up against our KPI's. Users have reported being satisfied with both ticket processing and service cataloging.
