Overall Satisfaction with Solarwinds Service Desk (formerly Samanage)
Solarwinds Service Desk is being used by not only the IT dept but our Accounting and HR departments as well. Mainly we in IT use it to track "incidents" that occur with the technology on the floor or with our remote workers. Over time other departments have been setting up tickets such as investigations which are exactly as they sound. Accounting utilizes our Solarwinds Service Desk to help keep track of all the software contracts that are expiring, and for us to remember to get them the monthly invoices for contracts that are related to the IT Dept. We utilize Solarwinds Service Desk to track company assets so by putting in the make, model, and the serial number of every machine that we set up and assign it to a user so when that user submits a ticket we can attach it to their computer. Some business problems it has helped address is being able to show proof to our auditor of our monthly reminders such as checking the generator, reviewing training policies and see if the trainings that went out were actually completed on time.
- Incident/Helpdesk Ticketing
- Platform Customization
- Asset Management
- Contract Reminders
- User and Admin Friendly Interface
- Mobile App flow could be better in regards to incident management
- Certain customization options aren't very easy to find
- Difficulty figuring out how to remove legacy categories from incident forms
- Better Device Tracking
- Better Ticket and Incident Tracking
- Pattern Identification from logged tickets and incidents
Solarwinds Service Desk, in terms of platform customization, incident tracking, reporting, knowledgebase, and asset management, far outpaces many other platforms we have tried in the past. Including Zendesk, which is a great service, but is way too configuration-heavy for a company of our size. In the past, we used Manage Engine. That was good but it was bland and overall lacking many of the features that we needed as our business began to grow. For a small to medium-sized business, I highly recommend Solarwinds Service desk. We even feel it can continue to grow with us as our business grows into a large-sized business.
