Overall Satisfaction with Solarwinds Service Desk (formerly Samanage)

Used mainly for the Asset Management portion. We track our notebooks, PC servers, and virtual Servers by Serial numbers, warranty, age, specs, and software licenses. It can also track licensing contracts and maintenance renewals. It also tells us what users are associated with each piece of equipment along with who is currently logged on to each machine along with the current IP.
  • Track assets.
  • Track warranties.
  • Track maintenance contracts.
  • Track user and equipment locations.
  • Better reporting.
  • Easily querying of data
  • Better support
  • More tracking with less people.
  • Reasonable priced.
Mainly, I found Samanage less complicated and easier to use right out of the box. No on-premise servers were required and no expensive was training needed.
Certain individuals in support were more snarky than helpful with yes or no answers. I felt as if I was playing 20 questions with them to get an answer.
