Overall Satisfaction with Solarwinds Service Desk (formerly Samanage)

We use SolarWinds in many departments in our organization as a way for staff to submit issues, ask questions and submit ideas for improvement.
  • Easy user interface: when we changed from our old service desk our tickets doubled overnight.
  • I like the solutions and how easy they are to attach to tickets and to create a solution from a ticket.
  • Like the tagging feature.
  • Can't just cut and paste an image into a comment or ticket.
  • The change management module is lacking items needed for ITIL making it necessary to have other processes.
  • The reporting is horrible and hard to use.
  • Hard to set up SLAs.
  • Permission are confusing.
  • Easy way to track satisfaction.
  • Easy way to involve all departments.
  • Increased staff reporting of issues instead of calling.
