Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The view it provides into who's doing the work.""The solution's back-end architecture is very good for end users.""When users have a problem, they report using Service Desk and it is very useful for this.""The UI is very user-friendly.""Being able to specify event rules and SLAs that can help to automate some of the processes that people are doing manually is valuable.""It has helped us to organize a lot of our assets, so we have configuration items to attach to our change management. We can have tickets for change management and set them aside for an approval process.""We have decreased training and talk time, and all those good stats, just by reusing information, not reinventing it, every time we get a call.""It is the most stable product in the market."

Cons
"I would also like to see a simpler reporting tool. They went from one fairly robust, very complex, reporting tool - it was great - and then they went to another one that was also fairly complex and robust. That's a great tool for people who are report writers, but for the average person who just wants to get a quick little report, it's like handing somebody a chainsaw because they have to break some toothpicks in half.""The UI needs to be upgraded.""I am not able to see tickets on a bigger scale. I can't see the overall bigger picture.""The interface is pretty straightforward, but I think for some end-users a little more simplified user interface would help.""There are some issues regarding the knowledge base and the configuration manager.""Needs custom dashboards, without them it takes too long to view some information (though xFlow is an improvement).""One area that this product can improve is in the mobile user aspect.""The product needs to have a better user experience in the interface and mobile functionality.​"
