Pros
I find the ticketing straight forward, the asset tracking awesome, the integration with AD and Solarwinds is great, it even does Knowledge base and surveys.
The reason I suggest Solarwinds Helpdesk was that I had been a user / admin on a system before. Thicket history is great, asset management is very good.
Excellent setup and function. Provides a great and easy interface for clients and techs.
Cons
I found the documentation to be very poor. It was missing information, misleading and even outdated in places (wants you to modify Group Policy Objects that have not existed since Windows XP days).
Lack of followthrough on feature update timelines. No analytics, no cross-utility between assets and tickets or users, no automated document creation based on ticket types or requests.
We've had a couple issues with software losing license key seeming inexplicably.

Web Helpdesk from Solarwinds

Reviewed 4 years ago

It was an ok tool for me, as I was not working on it as an administrator but for a day to day ticket management, it was very easy to use and our customers were also able to reach out to us with their day to day support queries and we also used it for internal task management.

Pros

The most positive point which I liked about this product was that we were able to use it from anywhere, either when we were on the client-side or in the office. Our work was fieldwork and to have a web-based solution was very helpful to track complaints and provide response to clients and management about the work done.

Cons

I did not use this tool as an administrator, so I am not familiar with its cons, only used for ticket management.

Easy To Setup and Train End Users to Use

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

Has tons of features and functionality AND it is easy to setup and utilize all of them. From start to full web help desk completion, it took roughly two weeks (not day to day) and it was fully setup and being used by all company staff to submit tickets, approve tickets, and for tech staff to reply and resolve tickets.

Cons

Depending on how many techs you want to utilize the Web Help Desk it can become pricey. We only had 5-7 techs at any given time so the cost was not that bad.

Very cheap system, but not ITIL compliant

Reviewed 7 years ago

Platform was installed upon my arrival into the company. As we improve the Services teams and tools we need to also obtain a ITIL solution, which WHD currently does not provide - especially around the company specific SLA report function. I was hoping to have the tool upgraded (offered to pay for this several times) but no responses from Solarwinds Sales or Marketing.

Pros

Cheap fees compared to other similar product platforms, easy to use for a variety of tasks that work.

Cons

SLAs - can be introduced but only globally (not per contract/customer) and not able to report on as only appearing in the history section when added (respond, restore, resolve). Asked support and was instructed this platform was not able to currently: 1. set up separate SLAs per contract/customer, 2. not able to get information out for reporting. Also asked to cut and paste (keeping format) instead of adding attachments out of order which makes it much easier to follow instructions or details from our customers. Feature Requests raised for these issues without result. Taken this platform is not aimed at multi-nationals. Will be difficult to stay on this platform as automation of reporting per customer SLAs can not be done, taking too much effort to manually achieve.

Ticket Tracking with Webhelpdesk. Easily submit and resolve issues with ticketing system

Reviewed 7 years ago

We easily are able to track resolution of issues and pull reports in order to look at trends.

Pros

Able to look up ticket type, or ticket content for repeat issues. Track issues by who submits them easily by searching. Setup custom requirements for ticket submission. Easily integrate it with Solarwinds to create tickets when there are issues on network. It can also be connected to Exchange to send out email notifications.

Cons

It appears that it cannot send email notifications to Distro lists. Setting up tech alerts can be quite complicated to get everything configured the way you want it to.

I'm a daily user of the system and have not had any major issues.

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

I like it's ease of use in creating and editing the ticket types. This allows me to easily create plenty of different tickets for easy metrics and organization.

Cons

I do not like how the system works primarily off of the email system, having users able to CC the help desk email we assign to the system and generate multiple tickets for one issue has been an issue for our organization.
