Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Infraon Desk is very flexible in nature and can be customized for my needs. The fact that I can customize it the way I want is the best part of the tool for me.""There are a few dashboards and they are helpful because, in our organization, we have different groups of people who need different kinds of dashboards... as head of network operations, I need a top-level view. I want to see how many calls are open and how many calls are pending, on average, and some trend analysis. Whereas a manager in my team might like to see slightly more detail."

"We use SCSM to manage all of our IT operations, including incident and service requests and problem management.""The support from Microsoft is good and we also have local support on the ground in Nigeria.""The solution offers good productivity at a low price point.""Many more features than other comparable products.""It is one of the most stable solutions in the market.""The reporting is very good.""The solution is quite easy to integrate with other Microsoft products.""The most valuable feature is the reporting of incidents."

Cons
"The reporting is okay, but it doesn't give you reports that make you say "wow," like you might see from a tool like MRTG or PRTG whose reports give you a good feeling. The detailing is not there in the Infraon Desk reports and there are no graphical elements in them. The reporting is slightly weak and needs to be improved.""Better connectivity and integration with more collaborative platforms would be helpful."

More Infraon Desk Cons →

"The product needs to improve its integration with other tools. It also needs to have a better UI and a simple dashboard.""The price of this solution is high and it needs to be cheaper.""The configuration could be easier.""Once we had an issue with a desktop download that would not open.""We would like to see a web-based interface that works on mobile devices.""The solution could be more simple. For example, it takes a lot of work to create reports. It runs on Microsoft SQL queries. Creating custom reports on ManageEngine takes less work from the administrator.""The patch management aspect of the solution should be improved. It's quite complicated and not user-friendly. If your systems are not patched properly, you are unable to pull reports.""There is no development with this product, and we had to go and buy additional ITSM solutions to sit on top of it. We had to buy products from companies like Cireson and Cased Dimensions in order to get the functionality that we need out of it. So, we're using Service Manager as an engine, rather than as a full-blown product. It is the engine, but we have other products sitting on top of it to make it work properly."
