From an admin perspective, the settings and things are straightforward. If you want to create a workflow or report, then you could go for it. A few settings go from the developer end, but apart from that, anyone who just knows a few application settings. They can easily navigate to anything and then do whatever they want. The page is really user-friendly, including the admin settings.
Incident management is a good feature. In general, this is a very good product that's easy to use. The customizations are very straightforward but with limitations. We're impressed with the solution.

CMDB as a baseline, incident management, service request management, and license management are valuable features. It offers really interesting features for complete use in an enterprise. You have one platform, and you could set up different service functions for HR, engineering, or another team in the same platform.

What I find the most valuable about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is the dashboard. You can build your own dashboard and the reporting is compatible with Power BI. So we built a lot of your interface data and reports via Power BI.
ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is also very easy to use. The features are okay and we never had any problems.
With ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, for example, the configuration is easier compared to other products like it. I use SolarWinds and also ServiceNow, but I found ManageEngine configuration easier.

Its interface is most valuable. It is easy to use, and our customers find it amazing because of that. Nowadays, it is not only IT technicians who deal with tickets. People from HR and finance also handle tickets, and not all of them are tech-savvy, so it is nice for them to have an interface that they can easily relate to. They appreciate that.
It has a lot of modules, such as change management, project management, and all these are combined into one portal. So, we can manage projects from the same system, and we can do also change management, which is ITIL aligned.
Its pricing model makes it more affordable as compared to a lot of systems out there. So, it is affordable, and it also has the best service.

The most valuable feature for me is the ability to make workflows. We haven't experienced that whole functionality, because I'm based in Lima, Peru, while our headquarters is in Colombia, where the administration of this solution is handled. We have not been customizing this tool here in Lima, but the workflow is very important. Other features that are also important include configuration management (configuration management database) and the knowledge base (recorded solutions function).
I like this solution's interface because it's user-friendly and works well on the cloud.
This solution is good because it's on the cloud, so customers are told ahead of time if there's scheduled maintenance. We receive emails prior to the maintenance period.

I like that ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus has everything and can be integrated into a single product like SAP. It has also got operations, helpdesk, MDM, and everything integrated. Multiple products can be integrated into one product. You don't have to go for them separately. I also like that they have many partners in India who can come to the site and complete installations.

I have found several features to be quite valuable. The first is the support ticket auto-routing mechanism, where we are able to create business rules that are used to automatically assign the ticket to one of our predefined groups.
Another feature I find valuable is the SLA calculating, where the product is able to apply different rules based on the SLA. You can create your own SLA definitions.
The third feature that I find very useful is the solutions module, where you can create a knowledge base. It is quite helpful when the agent is taking the information directly from the end user. Using this feature, we are able to increase the percentage of cases where the customer can be helped during their initial call.
