Good for Small Operations
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to implement and run with small team
What do you dislike about the product?
Inflexible in customizing certain aspects
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking SLAs for the first time, able to change ownership of tickets, able to do asset and software tracking with incident tracking all in the same place
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be prepared for a slow feature roadmap. One common thing I see through the community is ideas and long-term plans that have been around for a long time. They do get to implementing good features, it's just not a fast process.
Right decision for us!
What do you like best about the product?
Powerful SaaS that follows the ITIL structure but keeps it simple and friendly for not only the user but for the technician as well. We migrated from BMC's Footprints and our users were very pleased of the difference!
What do you dislike about the product?
No patching or software deployment option yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Samanage has been a huge help in keeping track of contracts and warranties when they are about to expire. It's nice to have a system and not worry about software-related issues keeping a system on-premise.

Definitely, do the trial session. You have nothing to lose!

What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to set up separate categories and work groups to manage division of tasks between technicians.
What do you dislike about the product?
I takes many clicks to go to the set up screen to find what you would like to manage. The menu should be simplified. Also, when you hover over a function there is a delay and then the menu pops up. I would do away with the pop up menus, it is frustrating to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to create and manage Help Desk requests primarily, but that just scratches the surface of its capabilities.
Ticketing and Inventory System

The GUI interface could be a little more user-friendly
