Good ITSM Tool but still lacking crucial features!

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates SolarWinds Service Desk from other similar products?

It provides seamless integration with other Solarwinds products, such as Dameware.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Features include an automated IT asset management system, a clean user interface, email integration, and API support .It provides Single Sign-On (SSO), which is highly useful.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The customization feels quite limited. They could also increase the search capabilities. The present search option returns many irrelevant results. Integration with other third-party programs is rather limited. The reporting feature is rather poor, with very little scope for customization.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The tool will definitely serve all the basic functions of an ITSM tool as well as inventory, but if you need detailed reports and automations, this might not be for you.
