(2008 Ratings)
ServiceNow ITSM remains the industry gold standard for enterprise service management. From an architectural standpoint, the platform's ability to unify disparate business processes onto a single data model (CMDB) is its greatest strength. While the initial setup requires significant strategic planning and governance, the long-term ROI in terms of automation and visibility is unmatched. It's more than a ticketing tool; it's an operating system for the modern enterprise.Read all insights and reviews for ServiceNow IT Service Management

Our overall experience with Service Desk Plus has been exceptional. The platform has consistently met, and in several areas, exceeded our expectation as the core ITSM solution for a heterogeneous and evolving IT landscape. Its functional breadth and configurability enabled us to align the tool closely with our operational and governance requirements, rather than adapting processes to system constraints. In daily operations, Service Desk Plus proved stable and dependable, supporting structured incident and request handling, asset management, and the stepwise introduction of CMDB practices. The solution scaled well as process maturity increased, and it supported the professionalization of the service desk without introducing unnecessary overhead. Areas that required more effort were primarily related to initial setup and advanced configuration. To fully leverage the platform, clear process definitions and dedicated ownership are essential. Some advanced reporting and integration scenarios are not entirely intuitive out of the box and require additional configuration. These aspects were manageable and did not materially impact the overall value delivered. Overall, Service Desk Plus provided strong value for money and demonstrated enterprise-grade capabilities while remaining accessible for a mid-sized organization. Its flexibility, stability, and depth of functionality are the key reasons behind our exceptional rating.Read all insights and reviews for ServiceDesk Plus

The support from TOPdesk has been excellent. On top of the great support, they have a strong Knowledge Base library and recently started an online community presence. TOPdesk has improved our service management, increased transparency across teams, and made the day-to-day operations smoother. The self-service portal has been an added bonus that we did not previously have, which is an added bonus for our end users.Read all insights and reviews for TOPdesk

Freshservice is extremely impressive for teams not wanting to worry about a ton of administrative problems with their ESM tool. Agents that aren't administrators find it really easy to start picking up tickets. As an admin I find it really easy to build a workflow to be able to achieve the type of automation for these tickets we need. I also like how I can customize almost every part of the design of the Freshservice Portal for end users. Being able to configure designs and features for end users or agents without being a developer is something that I think a lot of the major players miss on. Given that I think if you are looking to create the best experience for all involved, Freshservice is definitely second to none. Where they come up short on that, other tools that are doing really well is the conversational chat bots and leveraging their workflow tools to be able to do more custom automations that a lot of IT ops teams are looking for these days. It really is not the biggest need for our team though so we are happy nonetheless with their toolRead all insights and reviews for Freshservice
