Overall Satisfaction with Solarwinds Service Desk (formerly Samanage)

We are utilizing SWSD not only in IT but for HR and a couple of other departments that use it for work order intake. In IT we are using most modules: Incident, Problem, Solutions (Knowledge), Change and the Service Catalog.

Using SWSD allows us to stop trying to work through email. It gives us visibility into our workload and who's taking care of what.

  • Automations: we use automations to direct tickets to the appropriate team for resolution versus having tickets come in to one team and waiting for reassignment. Time saver.
  • User portal: the portal allows us to offer solutions to the end user without them opening a ticket.
  • Smart suggestions: offers possible request forms or solutions based on what they type in the search bar. Great self help assistance.
  • So far we've been pretty happy with the product. I can't think of anything specific.
  • SWSD has helped us manage our workload more effectively.
  • Our customer satisfaction rates are consistently 98-99 percent satisfied.
  • Our resolution rates are consistently in the 95th percentile.

SWSD was more cost effective and easier to administer and manage. Easier reporting functionality.

SWSD didn't require a dedicated programmer/developer or a specific skill set to administer.

Reporting functionality is very easy to use. Doesn't require you to create SQL statements to get the information you need. Pretty much point and click. The reporting allows you to easily drill down into the detail.

The support team is always very accessible and quick to find a solution to any issue we may have. They have helped us many times as we are trying new things within the platform. Always very professional and easy to work with. The support chat functionality makes it easy to engage with the support team.
