Good product
What do you like best about the product?
Helps us keep track of tickets, changes, equipment, licenses. The portal for user self help is nice.
What do you dislike about the product?
The search functionality could be better, but I hear that will be improving.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Samanage handles all our service desk needs.
Great ticketing software solution
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there is everything wrapped up in this suite: inventory and assests, tickets and incidents, and how they are all tied together.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much that I dislike...after coming from a different, major software suite, this was excellent!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IT helpdesk, asset management
Easy to use IT Service Desk tool
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive enough for users to catch on and start submitting tickets with little or no training. We are also able to map email addresses so users can create tickets by sending an email.
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration with AD is not seamless (needs a third party add-on) at least for fist login. The initial 2 step authentication can also be bothersome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it enables service desk personnel to quickly identify new issues and manage them more efficiently. The knowledge base feature seems promising as well. Although haven't had a chance to explore into it.
Support desk
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Samanage is that it is web based. Our IT dept. is in multiple states and it is great to be able to see everyone's Incidents in real time and each employee can assist others on their task by giving advise and or knowledge. We are also able to help each other out by closing cases and checking on the status of the end user to make sure they are taken care of in a timely manner.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I do not like about Samanage Is the copy paste functionality. We take a lot of screen shot in out company and you can not paste directly in to Samanage. I have to use a work around by pasting to "MS Word" first and then in to my Incident. It is an extra step but not a deal breaker.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Like I stated earlier we love the way we can collaborate on each other Incident by giving advice and knowledge in real time to our support staff and end users.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Weigh all of your options to make you are getting the tools you need to run your business.
Great Service Solution Product
What do you like best about the product?
Workflows!! The options are unlimited. Dashboards to help our team out. Knowledge Base for our team members to help themselves problem solve their simple issues. Automatic ticket routing to keep the queue active.
What do you dislike about the product?
No complaints! Recommended this solution to our Business Software Solutions for their client services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Finding a better workflow solution. SharePoint is not our answer for these! Providing our team members a better solution to research fixes to simple issues.
Excellent Product
What do you like best about the product?
I like the work flows best. This has made our work lives so much better and efficient. Before it was all a manual process and many times, things were missed or forgotten. The work flow feature is a must.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though we are fairly new to the product, I have no complaints! It is light years ahead of our previous solution and I am extremely satisfied.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Samanage has streamlined many of our help desk request using the work flow piece. This enabled our department to serve our clients better.
Also, the knowledge base with option to tag articles has allowed our users to find their own solutions which in turn, is deceasing the number of tickets we receive.

Customer service is top notch!
What do you like best about the product?
We are currently in our implementation phase and our implementation specialist has been on the ball, helping us out in any way possible. It is easy to get a hold of customer service whenever we have a question or need assistance.
What do you dislike about the product?
No dislikes. Everything has been great so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the need for a firm wide Knowledge Base. The knowledge base will help our team members search for resolutions to known issues they are having.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes, definitely.
Samanage Initial Review
What do you like best about the product?
We are in the implemetation stage so it's hard to say much about the software until we start using it, but their help with our setup has been great. Our SSO implementation went smoothly the person helping us with our implementation has been very helpful. We are looking forward to using the software in production.
What do you dislike about the product?
Except for the price, which is pretty steep, there is nothing I dislike about Samanage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are in the implementation phase with Samange, so my review is more of what we experienced in testing and now implementation. Our old help desk software offered Single Sign-on, but not SAML, which is what we are using. That was one of the biggest reasons to move to Samanage. That ended up being a very easy migration for us. Our old software also didn't make it easy to determine work ticket priority, which is very important for us and Samanage handles it much better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I don't have much experience with Samanage, but so far I am pretty impressed with them. They are helpful and their software seems impressive.
Implemented SAMANAGE for help desk functionality
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create a ticket. With samanage, users have the option of either creating tickets using the UI or by sending an email- which would create the ticket. It supports user group + specific users for the assignment of categories to the right personnel to handle the tickets. Per resolution is also an area where you can see solutions to problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unable to send a copy of a spreadsheet in the clipboard in email for tickets. Mobile website has a bug when hitting the carriage return in the comments (in the UI, it looks like it is creating a carriage return. However, it actually posts the comment, resulting in a small inconvenience / spamming).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Samanage helps to manage support tickets as well as clearing possible confusion / miscommunication regarding personnel who handle the support requests.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do a trial and a test run with a few users at the time. Start with basic ticketing, and then advance to workflows.
Life made easier
What do you like best about the product?
The ease in which one can track assets, software and Incidents.
What do you dislike about the product?
the name convention should have a little more flexibility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The service desk module has help us better track progress on the Incident. The inventory module make it easy to track hardware and software on each device.
