Aishwarya T.

“We can see all the updated and logs very smoothly and can pull reports of the data.”

Pankaj K.

NOC

“Not to mention that all of this isn’t just flat text, you actually get visual maps of the infrastructure and all the relationships, models and services. And it doesn’t stop there you can even view this through digital Workplace on actual maps.”
MJ

Marie J.

Services Architect

Cons

“We also have Endpoint Central Cloud, and I don't like that we cannot use all remote functionalities available for support in this tool when we have integration, it should be nice to have all those remote alternatives directly in ServiceDesk Plus when we are working on support ticket.”
EL

Edier L.

Network administrator

“Some features feel a bit clunky, and a few settings take longer to configure than they should.”

Brennan G.

System Administrator

“The Dark mode feature is not the best solution to making it more easily readable and there are not enough options to make it look better”
AR

Adam R.

Sever Analyst

Cons

“Floating licenses are problemmatic sometimes, blocking the user for some time when trying to log in from different IPs.”
