Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This product has helped our organization by allowing people to connect with each other.""The call logging is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very easy to use.""The remote access is one of the features I really enjoy. The pushing of email updates and things like that are very good.""For our cloud-based deployment of SCSM, the Autopilot is the best feature.""A very convenient package like an all-in-one tool but it is actually five or six products acting well together.""The solution offers good productivity at a low price point.""This solution is easy to use.""The solution is quite easy to integrate with other Microsoft products."

"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."

Cons
"One of the disadvantages in this product is that the reporting module is not very easy. It requires SQL development skills, which not all customers or IT professionals have.""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.""The configuration could be easier.""The price of this solution is high and it needs to be cheaper.""I have found SCSM not adequate enough to carry out some functions.""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.""We have had some issues with the SCSM on-premise deployment version in the imaging aspects.""It would be better if they had a portal for administrators. It would help me use it from anywhere and connect to any device from anywhere. I can administer the solution without a VPN."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is a lower price vs. other things on the market."
  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • "Licensing can be complex and confusing."
  • "The price should be lower."
  • "The price of the solution could be better. My organization has an enterprise annual license with Microsoft which provides us support."
  • "It comes free with the enterprise agreement that we have, but the expense really is in having to buy another product to sit on top of it to make it work properly. You wind up having to buy additional support and additional product with their own support and maintenance costs on top of that."

  • "I would rate the pricing as two out of five."
