Structure and Automation Enhance IT Workflows With Some Usability Limitations

My experience with SolarWinds Service Desk has been smooth. It brings structure to our IT operations and helps the team stay on top of issues without getting overwhelmed. The ability to track, prioritize and resolve requests all in one system has made a big difference even though there are a few areas that could be improved like setup complexity but the platform continues to support our workflow and keep things moving efficiently. Its a practical tool that fits well into our day-to-day work.

CRITICAL

A good entry-level service desk for a small company; not the best for larger enterprises.

Good ITSM platform, but pretty simple; too simple for what our organization needed.
