We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"This solution has provided me with a well-defined process and interaction, compared to my previous tool, GLPI.""It is an easy-to-use solution.""The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is the reports.""The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is its ease of use if you have implemented it in the right way. If you're not implementing it in the right way, then it's very difficult.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the incident management module.""Its ITSM approach is quite useful.""Change management is the most critical feature.""When it comes to implementing new features, they listen to what their customers want via a suggestion forum that they have."

More TOPdesk Pros →

"The most valuable feature is that it has a very easy and adaptive look and feel, compared with some other cloud solutions.""I like the integration with other applications or vendors.""The most valuable feature is that it allows us to compare the billing between the clouds.""This solution has made us aware that we are over-provisioning our virtual machines.""The way the dashboard works with the main orchestrator to combine different types of cloud providers is helpful.""The flexibility is the product's most valuable feature.""The tool helps us to monitor the services provided to customers as a cloud provider. The product is a monitoring solution that helps customers pay for their utilization of services.""It doesn't take long to develop an automation blueprint. You need about half an hour, and then you can install or deploy it on several systems. That was our first great advantage in the project because we urgently needed to deploy across many different systems."

Cons
"The solution's change management could be better.""One of the disadvantages of TOPdesk is the reporting tool. It is very poor and not in real-time. You do not always receive the correct information.""This solution is modular so you only buy what you need, but I prefer what some companies are doing where they include everything in the package.""All companies have processes that need to be adjusted. When you have a change, you need to name it, and many companies have a set of changes you can use. It would be helpful if there were more space in TOPdesk to name the change or use metadata to record the kinds of changes.""An operator is also a user but requires creating two different records.""Change management implementation, facility management, and making reservations on assets can be improved.""If I open a ticket on the infrastructure team, I can't move it to the financial team for them to manage the ticket.""It is time-consuming to add new users."

More TOPdesk Cons →

"It's not always easy to find the information you need. You must have a lot of technical experience to find the right location for what you're implementing within the program.""It would be a good idea for VMware to be compatible with the most popular orchestration tools in the market.""The product needs some investment in configuration. I would like to see better and more optimized configuration in the tool's future releases.""I would like to have an easy way of modifying the reference data that is used for the purposes of estimating the total billing.""The pricing model is complicated and would be more predictable if it were simplified.""Better integration with other VMware toolsets would be beneficial.""If you haven't established a vSphere cluster and you only have a single server to integrate, you can't deploy any service.""The knowledge base is not available for the engineers, which is something that needs to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The cost of the solution on a yearly basis is $20,000. Technical support is not extra. It's included in the yearly cost. Updates are also included. The solution is good at keeping its product up to date."
  • "Compared to other products in this segment, I think that they are priced well and not too expensive."
  • "There are three fee options to choose from for a company and these options compared to market prices are very high. For example, if I use one of the first options for 10 assets, then it costs 20,000 Euros. If you went to competitors, then you pay less."
  • "The solution is inexpensive compared to competitors."
  • "TOPdesk's pricing is cheaper than Jira's."
