Clean customisable UI, great integration with other products by manageengine, regular updates and features make the product enjoyable.
Pros: Web based, ease of use, works along side Endpoint central. Clean UI and customisable, value for money when bundle with other ManageEngine tools. Ticket management integration.
Cons: There is no cons for Service desk plus by Manage Engine so far that I've come across having used the product for 3+ years.

ServiceDesk Plus has been reliable and easy to work with. It handles tickets, assets, and automation well, and once everything is set up, it makes daily support work smoother and more organized.
Pros: Easy to use, customizable, and great for tracking tickets. Automation saves time, asset management works well, and reporting makes it simple to see team performance.
Cons: Some features feel a bit clunky, and a few settings take longer to configure than they should. Occasional bugs can slow things down, and updates sometimes change things without clear explanation

The expirience was good lot of documentation and intuitive interface that helps to setup this tool, all the integration between assets, inventory, contracts, tickets plus the option to have personalize workflows that do easy the company support process, helps to efenciency plus a very competitivy price per license.
Pros: We are working with ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus first on-presmises and after move to the cloud, the migration was was easy and faster. We don't use all the options available for deployment but is good to know there are there in case the company situation change.
Cons: We also have Endpoint Central Cloud, and I don't like that we cannot use all remote functionalities available for support in this tool when we have integration, it should be nice to have all those remote alternatives directly in ServiceDesk Plus when we are working on support ticket.

ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is a great tool for teams of any size. It's not only good for ticket management, it's also good for creating reports and asset tracking. Overall it's a good platform for teams of any size.
Pros: - ServiceDesk Plus is very user friendly platform. You can train a new user to use it within minutes - It's very customizable. You can create many teams and then create rules for those teams. - Service Desk + is not only a ticketing service, it allows you to run reports, track assets, automate solutions for tickets etc. - Ticket management is very user friendly - you can do manual or automated assignment. - Not the most expensive platform on the market. - Supports SAML sign ins and 2FA which is always good - SD+ has a very good mobile app - Comes in Windows and Linux versions
Cons: - ServiceDesk+ has 2 server versions: Linux based and Windows based. Maintenance of Linux based version could be a problem if your team is mostly Windows specialist. This is the only real con I could think of
Yurii K. · Technical Support Specialist · Non-Profit Organization Management · April 9, 2026
So far the products been great the past few years that we've used it. We've even picked up some of their other products too.
Pros: The deployment of the ticketing system was really fast and allowed for security mfa to be enabled. When it comes to value for money its fantastic and has a great learning curve as it has a knowledge page too. The actual improvement and efficiency of the ticket management is fantastic and super easy to use.
Cons: At times the product can be slow but when reporting this issue they are fast to fix it and also fast to reply to tickets too.
Callum W. · IT System Engineer · Business Supplies and Equipment · March 25, 2026
A very powerful tool that I would advise to any team that wants to implement heavy customisations and process automation whilst keeping associated costs minimal.
Pros: Back-end automation and custom triggers allow for powerful workflows catered to specific and niche requirements
Cons: To fully utilise the automative functions requires some scripting knowledge and skills. The terminology tends to lean away from recognised universal standards, such as in relation to ITIL for the change management features
connor q. · IT Team Lead · Media Production · March 18, 2026
Overall experience has been great. Price has always been reasonable for our use case and never had any issues with audits running though them.
Pros: Great ticketing system that has a lot of customizable features and ways to import emails into actionable items
Cons: Lack of documentation on the custom formatting of ticket forums can be frustrating if you are trying to setup custom email import rules
Austin E. · CTO · Insurance · February 25, 2026
Our overall experience with ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus has been highly positive. The solution has significantly reduced our operational burden by making our IT service management processes more organised, traceable, and efficient. Its comprehensive capabilities in critical areas such as request management, SLA tracking, automation workflows, and reporting have markedly improved the quality of our daily operations. Its user-friendly platform for both end-users and IT teams has accelerated the adaptation process. Thanks to its stable operational structure and extensive customisation options, it has demonstrated highly successful performance in adapting to our organisational needs. Overall, I can confidently say it is a reliable solution for organisations seeking to professionalise their processes and strengthen their service management.
Pros: The feature I like most about ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is the comprehensive and user-friendly service management infrastructure it offers. The ability to easily customise workflows, the powerful automation, and the fact that it enables end-to-end management of requests much more efficiently are significant advantages. Furthermore, its detailed reporting capabilities make it much easier to measure and improve processes.
Cons: The aspect I would like to see improved in ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is that some advanced configuration and integration steps occasionally require additional technical knowledge. Furthermore, making the interface more modern and fluid in extensive customisations could further enhance the user experience. Apart from that, although it has a robust structure overall, improvements in these areas would make the solution even more effective.
Ahmet V. · System Network and İnformation Sec Manager · Chemicals · December 2, 2025
never had many issues with the product, its very reliable and consistent to work with. Highly recommend if you have a larger network
Pros: Product is very resilient and robust the learning curve isnt to steep, user interface is fairly friendly and easy to navigate,
Cons: honestly biggest drawback ( as all of us know in the it world ) is the cost but when managing networks it is very good
tim s. · IT Manager · Hospital & Health Care · September 26, 2025
Overall Manage Engine Service desk plus is an easy to use and maintain solution for call logging and effective management of workloads and the Integrated CMDB is easy to understand
Pros: It is very easy to use and the customisation options for how you want it to look on your browser makes things easier to layout
Cons: The Dark mode feature is not the best solution to making it more easily readable and there are not enough options to make it look better
Adam R. · Sever Analyst · Hospital & Health Care · June 16, 2025
The help desk software was exactly what I wanted in a help desk solution. However, I also needed other features that would cost more as an add-on.
Pros: ManageEngine Service Desk Plus is very intuitive! It covers everything you would hope for in a Help desk.
Cons: Each product is separate, and they do not offer an all-in-one solution.
Tonia B. · Director of IT · Non-Profit Organization Management · April 29, 2025
Pros: 1) For non-technical users also easy navigation. 2) Helps organization align with modules like incident, problem, change, asset management. 3)Technician and end users can manages tickets it improves responsiveness.
Cons: 1) Requires fine-tuning to avoid Email/SMS alerts can be too frequently or lack filtering. 2) Mobile app limitations lack some features from the desktop version. 3)Requires time and efforts to utilize all features.
ISHWARI P. · Trainee · Information Technology and Services · April 16, 2025
Pros: Very Good Ticketing system for out IT department.
Cons: The customization of templates is a but difficult to understand how the layout works. Some fields are not available for reporting such as the description. A notes field would be nice to add to list the states with date of where the ticket is in the process of getting resolved.
Robert V. · IT Manager · Insurance · April 3, 2025
Service Desk Plus overall product is good and custom script and trigger function is very useful also release & Change management is useful for every organization. "
Pros: The technical team is highly supportive, offering custom scripts based on customer requirements at every stage. Additionally, the Change management and release management modules are fully customizable.
Cons: sometime technical team delay on responses
Bhavin G. · Manager · Information Technology and Services · March 5, 2025
I have been using Service Desk plus for several years no and it just works. Also great intergration with other Zoho products
Pros: The customization of menus, reports and just about everything and the intergration with MS Teams
Cons: More features being available on the on prem version compared to cloud
Daniel T. · IT Engineer · Mechanical or Industrial Engineering · February 1, 2025
ME SDPO is probably the best ITSM product I have used in my IT experience so far. It has all the features required, as a single IT professional, but also offer you plenty of expandability, when the team will grow, to easily integrate additional staff into already setup processes.
Pros: ServiceDesk Plus Cloud has all the features an IT team would ever need from Change/Release Management, Project Management and a complete service catalogue options, while including Asset Management is a fantastic package at an incredibly attractive price.
Cons: Would like to see a broader range of integrations with other Manage Engine products, especially Remote Access Plus, similarly to Zoho Assist. Currently solutions require you to press the "more..." button in order to see the entire article. Furthermore, there is no built-in Dell Warranty scanning integration, but only a workaround
Marius B. · IT Manager · Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing · January 27, 2025
I use this system in my full time job as a technician and it has a huge list of features which make it easy such as different job views, informative dashboard and handy buttons on the taskbar. We recently switched to another ticketing system and although there were a lot of new features, they weren't ideal for our line of work and found it much easier to navigate Service Desk Plus.
Pros: The different views for tickets you have to manage is great to manage the workflow. You can adjust the order of tickets by date, name, technician assigned and more. Adding custom objects to the system is also very handy, in my case we use custom buttons to send out emails to clients that are pre-configured. The dashboard is also great for checking close rates and seeing how the tickets are holding up as a whole.
Cons: My only grievance is it feels a little dated sometimes compared to other systems but as far as functionality goes, it's amazing. It's not fair to rate it less for this reason as it's by far the best ticketing system we have used.

I like ServiceDesk Plus as an ITSM tool and because its modules can be aligned according to its licencing, it helps customers' wallet thin. It has many integration capabilities which is very important for changed customer environments and templates for Incidents/Requests are very customizable according to the needs as well as the Request LifeCycle configs.
Pros: ServiceDesk Plus is a highly customizable ITSM tool with many modules. It has Incident/Request Management, Change Managements, Project Management (Waterfall), Inventory Management, etc. This kind of management capabilities can easily align the customers' environments easily. Additionally, they have many integration capabilities like MS Teams, Endpoint Central, Jira and these are just native ones. With custom integrations, many products can be integrated with it.
Cons: Even if it has great tools, I believe the AI capabilities should be extended when incident and/or request tickets are being handled easily. Additionally, the ServiceDesk Plus Failover feature should be more smooth and easy to configure.
Melih Ç. · Team Leader · Information Technology and Services · January 8, 2025
Overall, the experience has been pleasant. ServiceDesk Plus has served its purpose time and time again.
Pros: ServiceDesk Plus has a free version available to my non-profit and has been most helpful in support ITSM for a small organization. Their support staff have always been willing to assist when contacted.
Cons: The Knowledgebase could use some work. While it is functional, it is not the most robust in features and doesn't tie into support tickets very well.
Justin G. · Director of IT · Non-Profit Organization Management · January 6, 2025
Pros: Effective platform, good integrations and a very competitive price
Cons: The user interface looks dated and can be somewhat unintuitive
Sam W. · Helpdesk Manager · Financial Services · December 13, 2024
Pros: It was very easy to use and build workflows.
Cons: The inability to incorporate other applications into it.
Anonymous User · Supervisor, IT Support and Services · Pharmaceuticals · August 31, 2024
Service Desk plus emphasizes on ease of use, flexibility, and efficiency in managing IT services and infrastructure. Service Desk plus provides wide range of automation and integration capabilities.

Cons: 1. Cost can be lower. 2.TAC Team support can be improved.
Aiman S. · Network Security Engineer · Information Technology and Services · August 1, 2024
Overall, a good product in a sea of expensive options.
Pros: Setup many years ago, and still in use today. Does all the tasks we require.
Cons: Can be a bit of a burden to update with only command line automated options.
Kynan S. · Administrator · Business Supplies and Equipment · July 21, 2024
it is an intuitive, easy-to-use and very comfortable tool for the services I use since it can communicate with other Zoho services
Pros: Can be implemented much more easily than other services
Cons: -It does not allow the enrollment of devices in use to the ABM. -It does not maintain an integration with Microsoft applications. -It does not have antivirus available, they are only allowed through integrations. - Integration with the Endpoint Central UEM has an additional cost. -The panels of both platforms cannot be customized one
Manuel S. · Engineer TI Sr. · Telecommunications · July 17, 2024
Good if all you're looking at is to provide a service desk platform but for a business that is expected to grow, there are other platforms that will accommodate for that better and is more modernised.
Pros: It does the job and helps us as an office support our retail stores and staff members with any questions and queries.
Cons: I think overtime the UI has grown outdated in comparison to other service desk services and feels clunky in comparison. We find it hard to navigate when a particular change is required and modifying the UI of the user landing page it quite difficult. In addition, the reporting within the platform is not intuitive and we find ourselves having to manually export and transform data using other tools such as Excel and Canva for visuals on reporting that we send out on a monthly basis.
