Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The best part is the ability to keep records, especially incident records. It's easy to use the tool to store data and monitor it.""The solution has a great filtering feature."

More Samanage Pros →

"It is easy to use.""SolarWinds is scalable as far as adding devices and servers.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the assets management module.""Once installed, it runs like a charm and doesn't ever crash.""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."

Cons
"The system shuts down about once a month which is frustrating.""The setting up process is not quite easy. It's quite difficult."

More Samanage Cons →

"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to this at my previous job and that had stuff like categories that we use that I don't see in SolarWinds.""A little outdated compared to newer products that include protection and detection.""It would be good if there were training and tutorial videos on the Web Help Desk.""This solution needs to have mobile application support added.""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)."
