Samanage Service Desk
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to work with all of my colleagues on incidents, inventory, and other areas that the Samanage Service Desk has to offer. The user interface is pretty easy to use and understand, even for novice users of the service. End users that will be submitting tickets for service can jump right in as well as it is pretty straightforward in terms of submitting tickets. The reporting tools also provide a valuable feature that can assist in showing the work being done through Samanage.
What do you dislike about the product?
The import feature for things like inventory items, users, etc. seems to be very particular when importing the CSV file containing this information. If everything is not just right, expect to get several fail notifications before your data are uploaded.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The two largest areas being serviced by Samanage are the help desk tickets and the inventory. We are able to keep accurate records of problems occurring on campus and how quickly they are resolved. In addition to that, the inventory tracking helps tremendously for overall IT needs on campus.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the implementation time that you are given with the Samanage team wisely before going live with the product.

Samanage service desk delivers features that help our team perform.

A lack of automated refresh on the incident page and weak time tracking. The lack of software install date.

Intuitive interface and excellent support
What do you like best about the product?
Samanage Servicedesk is a delight to use compared to our previous solution. Our employees refused to use the old antiquated system, so managing the helpdesk was a nightmare. Samanage has changed that and feedback from employees is very positive.
What do you dislike about the product?
They do not have a good solution for integration with Active Directory and a third party authentication and sync system has to be implemented alongside.

The Service Catalogs help create a in depth workflow and the concurrent access assists in the timely resolution of multi-departmental tasks
What do you dislike about the product?
Feature requests require the community to vote up before attention is brought to it, rather than a customer submitted request directly. The flip side is new featureless are constantly being released and the platform is always improving
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Changes Module has greatly improved our Change Management Process
The Incidents module and Service Catalog has allowed us to extend our use beyond just out IT department but into various other department for us
With the Incidents, Changes and Problems associations we have been able to identify trending and resolve root cause items much more promptly
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Worth taking a look at over other products we've demo'd. Other solutions appear to require much more overhead for implementation and may not have all the same features
