## Reviews

### "ServiceDesk Plus ManageEngine" — 5.0/5

> **Jaime Isai** | *23 June 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: More than a Service Desk tool or ticketing system tool it is a System that follows the ITIL standards, allowing IT departments to be full organized on resolving issues, following them up, Identifying new problems, having their assets inventory updated and monitored, having additional tools to access them remotely and run TS steps, Having their projects well organized in a Gantt view and well documented, Licensing module and procurement its a plus on this system.
> 
> **Cons**: Its easy to implement, however it requires a previous knowledge of ITIL standards in order to set up the parameters and get it ready to work on your full organization. There is a complete guide to do so, however sometimes would be better to have a local support to help in the implementation process.
> 
> Its a great tool, I do really recommend it to every IT organization, it was a great experience to implement and get it full configured, it was a great challenge and learning experience. It's a must on every IT department if you want to improve your IT performance and have your IT department well organized at every single area.

### "Useful tool, but not great" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *09 December 2018* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The user Interface is pretty straightforward. The ticket raising and ticket addressing are very easy to understand and update from time to time. The in built database of all the assets and their  associated unique Ids, is a great help.
> 
> **Cons**: It is providing more and more advanced search options in every upgrade, but the search results don't always bring back the correct results. Their testing team needs to do a more thorough job before putting out a new feature.
> 
> The experience till now has been good. As it's quiet easy to understand and user friednly, the new members also learn it at a rapid rate.
