Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the ITIL compliance and billing.""The product is very scalable and stable when used as a help desk once it is built out.""The product teams are continuously on the products trying to improve them. If, for example, I ask for a change to be done in the software, the chances are in the next release it's going to be done and incorporated. It's this personal touch that I like.""We have found the reporting in this product to be very useful."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the assets management module.""It has a pretty good search function. If you do the advanced search, you can basically search for anything in any field. If I do a search on the request field and just put in some terms I'm searching for, I can usually find the ticket that I'm looking for.""Once installed, it runs like a charm and doesn't ever crash.""SolarWinds is scalable as far as adding devices and servers.""It is easy to use."

Cons
"The tech support is terrible and that seems to be a part of their business plan.""I would like to see some kind of project management or portfolio management in a future version.""There is no cloud-based version and it would be helpful if it were available.""They're pretty good but there's always room for improvement. There should be more templates that users can utilize immediately.""The business model for the company is to sell low and charge for customization, education or expertise.""The product is very difficult to use and configure and requires specialists."

"A little outdated compared to newer products that include protection and detection.""This solution needs to have mobile application support added.""It would be good if there were training and tutorial videos on the Web Help Desk.""We would like to see automation included in the next release. We would like to eliminate the L1, and L2 support, by at least 80%. To do this, we need automation with AI (Artificial Intelligence) in combination with ML (Machine Learning).""The interface feels clunky to me compared to some other systems that I've used. I used ManageEngine Service Desk prior to this at my previous job and that had stuff like categories that we use that I don't see in SolarWinds."
