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.

The overall features you get with ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus are very wide and fairly good but a lot of the development is more so based on the Cloud SaaS product vs. the on-premises product. A few of the features we're looking for are only available on the Cloud version of ServiceDesk Plus.
