“A robust and flexible ITSM platform that scales and deliveres strong value when paired with clear governance”
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.

“ServiceDesk Plus Offers Wide Functions But On-Premises Lags Behind Cloud Updates”
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.

ServiceDesk Plus self-hosted is a great platform for multiple teams
ServiceDesk plus is a robust ticketing and incident management software with a busy UI. SaaS hosted versions come with different features than self-hosted but lack the support for customizations that the self-hosted version offers. The software can support multiple teams, not just IT teams, such as operations teams, QA teams, facilities departments, and anything requiring a ticketing support system. Customizing the forms and templates requires some technical skill, but ManageEngine offers robust training modules and masterclasses to better develop complex workflows based on the support request type. Managing work logs, solutions, change controls, and associating multiple incidents to problems are possible within ServiceDesk. Incidents or Requests can be escalated to Changes, Problems, or even projects depending on the situation. Teams can divide up regular organizational IT changes and software changes using the Changes module or the Releases module. Managers can track technician time, allocate resources with its scheduling system and produce detailed reports using the Reports module. - IT INFRASTRUCTURE TECHNICIAN<50M USDFinance (non-banking)Review Source
Support Team’s Responsiveness and Software Reliability Stand Out in Everyday Use
I have been using ServiceDesk Plus for over 10 years. The most consistent comments I have about ServiceDesk Plus as a whole is that the support team is incredibly helpful and makes this product worth the continued use, as well as the product has remained mostly the same over the years. - It Security & Risk Management Associate<50M USDIT ServicesReview Source
ServiceDesk Plus Streamlines Operations But Presents Configuration Complexity Challenges
Our primary objective for deploying ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus was to centralize the IT service management process and align it to ITIL best practices. We aimed to replace fragmented ticketing and asset tracking tools with a single platform that could manage incidents, service requests, changes and assets in a structured manner. Additionally, we wanted to improve SLA agreements, enhance visibility into service performance, and introduce automation to reduce manual intervention in repetitive support tasks ServiceDesk Plus enabled us to successfully consolidate our IT operations into a single platform, significantly improving process standardization and traceability. This resulted in faster response and resolution times, as well as improved SLA compliance. The only cons we found with the product is that initial setup and configuration can be complex and requires technical expertise, but the team is always willing to assist where needed. From an ROI perspective, ServiceDesk Plus has reduced operational overhead by streamlining service management processes and minimizing the need for multiple tools. We are running much more effeciently due to the manual workload being reduced, allowing more time to be freed up between our engineers. - CLOUD ENGINEER50M-1B USDIT ServicesReview Source
