## Reviews

### "SD+ as a helpdesk tool" — 4.0/5

> **Kynan** | *21 July 2024* | Business Supplies & Equipment | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> Overall, a good product in a sea of expensive options.

-----

### "Great for SMB but future growth needs to be considered" — 4.0/5

> **Joshua** | *16 June 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **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 **Cons**: I think overtime the UI has grown outdated in comparison to other service desk services and feels clunky in comparison.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.
> 
> 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.

-----

### "Great ticketing system with customizable import systems" — 5.0/5

> **Austin** | *25 February 2026* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **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
> 
> Overall experience has been great. Price has always been reasonable for our use case and never had any issues with audits running though them.

-----

### "Powerful capabilities in the right hands, but requires a lot of front-heavy time and customisation" — 4.0/5

> **connor** | *18 March 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **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
> 
> 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.

-----

### "ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus Cloud - Best ITSM Platform for the price" — 5.0/5

> **Marius** | *27 January 2025* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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
> 
> 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.
