Considered Both Products

Chose ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
I use Jira Service Management in my personal lab environment to explore its features and DevOps integrations. While it's powerful and flexible, I find ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus more user-friendly and practical for enterprise IT environments.
Chose ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
Spiceworks was free, which obviously had both benefits and limitations - I will say that the community around Spiceworks has always been great. If we could replicate that experience with the ME user base, it would be terrific.
Chose ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
Jira Service Management is one of the strongest rival of Manage Engine Service Desk Plus. If we compare, both of them are really good for incident management and workflows. But when time to decide, Manage Engine Service Desk Plus is front of Jira Service Management with a few …
Chose ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
ManageEngine ServiceDesk just had the right combination of features available that our business required, and a more reasonable price than some of the other products that were looked at.
Chose ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
Compared to Cherwell, SDP is much much faster, and easier to deploy, set up, and use. But it does not have automation, and has limited customization. Since it is smaller and easier, it does not require any development effort. On the other hand, it is far more expensive, …
Chose ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
We decided to make the change to move from ManageEngine Service Desk Plus to Spoke for our ticketing system solution. We have never looked back. Everything from the UI to the AI-driven auto responses is "night and day" better. It isn't even a question and we wouldn't be …
Chose ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
Spiceworks was free and was not a good looking interface. With ServiceDesk Plus we are able to brand it specifically for our company.
Chose ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
Zendesk is more intuitive and has a better interface. We have other areas on campus like our front facing students center that use Zendesk. Zendesk provides better in-depth reporting and is easier to roll-out to other areas on campus.
Chose ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
We are actually moving away from ServiceDesk Plus to JIRA Service Desk. This is because of the flexibility that JIRA offers versus the more "locked in" fields in ServiceDesk. It also is going to allow us to better customize our requests and track our SLAs on different types of …
Chose ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
We use Jira and Spiceworks in different departments in our company, but neither had the features we were looking for when it comes to end user facing help desk solutions. Jira is great for our coding/development teams but it doesn't have the ease of use that service desk plus …
Chose ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
Just ended up being the winner of the tortoise race. Showed the most promise but costs to fulfill those promises made it fall short of expectations.
Chose ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
Spent a lot of time reviewing these type of software packages, this one does more right in a webified package. GotoAssist has the remote capability but lacks the resolution tracking of ServiceDesk Plus.
Chose ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
We are able to do more things on SDP other than what TrackITcould do. And we went paperless, something TrackIT couldnt do.
Chose ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
Great overall ticketing system. Everything is very organized. Easy for someone to learn quickly without even seeing the product before.
Chose ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
No contest. Remedyforce required a full time investment to understand the use of cryptically named variables, so all changes needed to be made by a specially trained administrator. Remedy had terrible problem handing capability. ServiceDesk Plus is a polar opposite - most …

Chose Zoho Survey
N/A. I don't personally use any other survey program, so I don't have accurate feedback for this section.
Chose Zoho Survey
Google Forms is about as basic as it gets and I use this personally. Typeform seems to be at the complete opposite end of the survey spectrum in that it has one of the best UI's I've ever seen and has so many cool features. I've not ever used Typeform but have evaluated it. …
Chose Zoho Survey
Zoho Survey has great capabilities that make it a very robust application. It is very simple to use, it has a very friendly interface and it is also more economical. It has a free version that allows you to explore its capabilities. It is definitely the best application to do …
Chose Zoho Survey
We went with Zoho Survey largely because we use other Zoho products. I did try SurveyMonkey and actually found it a little overwhelming in terms of how much customization you could do with it. Once back with Zoho Survey, having used other Zoho products, I was more comfortable …
Chose Zoho Survey
Easy to add to our existing plan with CRM and we really wanted everything under one roof and not multiple software. It's quick and simple and easy to use and does everything we need it to do and great to reflex on after you have serviced a client to see what improvements we …

Likelihood to Recommend
The cost for what you get is very good.
The amount of additional functionality is great too - we originally went in expecting to use it for just a helpdesk but eventually it evolved into change management and asset tracking.
We also started using the invoicing addon which helped massively and allowed us to track items from point of purchase to decommission.

Like all Zoho products, if you are using Zoho CRM than I would highly recommend Zoho Survey. The insights you can get out of staying only in one program (Zoho CRM) is so powerful for users. While it takes an admin or marketing person to configure the surveys in Zoho Survey, users within Zoho CRM never have to actually go to Zoho Survey to see responses as they are available right in front of them in the CRM. If you are looking for a stand alone survey app, Zoho Survey will meet your needs. It has all the functionality one could need to build a basic, intuitive survey. If you're looking for a survey to be very aesthetically pleasing with graphics or custom themes or the like, there may be better options.

Pros
  • It's very simple to submit and handle ticket for both user and Engineer.
  • Set some customize template for intent replay or job done reply.
  • SLA management is the good option to maintain workflow.
  • There is solution option where user can resolve their common issues.
Read full review
  • Lets us get feedback from clients on how they felt the Engineer did.
  • It shows us the knowledge needs if any for each engineer and shows and tells us what to improve on.
  • Allows us to have an organized way to audit the first line of support calls and services and the volume of traffic we get month to month.

Cons
  • When trying to select the top row ticket, you have to be careful not to select all tickets. Happened to us twice and we assigned all open tickets to one technician. Took a few minutes to correct.
  • Site is sometimes a bit sluggish to respond. Don't know if that is an issue with our network infrastructure or the program itself, though.
  • When users send emails to the help desk, we sometimes experience delays until the tickets appear on the site for the technicians.

  • It can be a little "clunky" if you are not experienced in how Zoho Products work
  • The pricing is a little harder to grasp than other products
  • Customization is not as flexible as some other products out there

we are looking at other tools like Zendesk which may replace ServiceDesk. We are currently evaluating both tools to see which one would serve our needs better

Usability
It is still very cumbersome, lots of data entry on the back end to build how we want it but it is still not completely user friendly. Many functions still dont work and contacting someone for help isnt always easy or we get told solutions for issues we have just arent built yet.

Zoho Survey is really easy to use. We've used Doodle and Survey Monkey in the past, and Zoho Social is just as easy, if not easier to use.

Support Rating
Our network administrator usually gets a good response when contacting ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus customer service. They are quick to respond and so far have been able to eliminate most of our issues. We have been through several upgrades of the software over the years and have no issues to report in regards to customer service.

No contest. Remedyforce required a full time investment to understand the use of cryptically named variables, so all changes needed to be made by a specially trained administrator. Remedy had terrible problem handing capability. ServiceDesk Plus is a polar opposite - most customization is done using plain English and simple screens.

Return on Investment
  • It has provided better visibility to upper management in terms of the scale of the workload of the IT department
  • It has allowed licensed software to be tracked more efficiently, allowing redundant license to be reclaimed, rather than additional ones being purchased
  • It has fulfilled the requirements for multiple audits, including Microsoft audits, as it allows the assets and their software to be tracked
Read full review
  • It's all positive because we use it solely for NPS which, if taken seriously, can definitely assist in making your company successful!
