Great all in one solution

  • January 18, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I just love how with one system the service request can be managed, updated, tracked, communicated through and processed - all with on system. And then for record keeping reasons we're able to see the progress and history of the problem with chat functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being that I've only been using it on the side of the one being helped I haven't found anything that I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As far as me being able to continue to get work done and communicate efficiently using Samanage it just helped keep the work flow going while the whole issue was being resolved and tracked elsewhere.

Easy accessible helpdesk

  • June 16, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to organize helpdesk system.
Good custom dashboard with relevant metrics.
Fast user adoption in organization.
Small learning curve for new employees
Easy automation through workflows.
SAManage has been easy to reach and also good at setting up training sessions for various integrations.
Integrations with online identity management systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really anything to dislike. Serves it's purpose well. Perhaps more design options would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Had a small organization unused to helpdesk system. Chaotic onboard processes for new employees and lack of metrics. SAManage was easy to implement, helped us getting our onboard process on track with workflow and validation from right parties. Same with service catalog where processes for requesting software is now automated and validated by appropriate managers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dig into the workflows right away.

Wonderful helpdesk experience but could use some improvements

  • June 13, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Incidents view, computer inventory, the email alerts and being able to set up approval workflows for recurring tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting portal is missing a lot of depth. Very hard to get a decent looking report for exactly what your boss is asking to report on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building a wiki or knowledge base to improve FOH employee's training so that we're not flooded with the same questions on a daily basis. Ability to see exactly what is going on with any ticket at any given time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Attend the live training sessions in your area, it helps to get a lot of questions answered as well as express issues to their team.

Still new to the product, highly impressed so far

What do you like best about the product?
I've used multiple Helpdesk softwares in the Higher Education sector including, LanDesk, OTRS, BMC Footprints and EasyVista. Our last ticketing system was OTRS, an open-source freeware. We were a bit skeptical about moving forward with Samanage due to the cost but after we saw the overall workflow, features and ease of use, we knew it was worth every penny. The inventory is a huge piece, now we can truly document and know where our assets are rather than trying to keep up with a paper copy. The look and feel of Samanage is great and our technicians love it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm still knew to the software but I honestly have not seen anything truly negative or anything I really did not like. We've received nothing but great customer/sales support along this whole journey. They only negative I can truly think of is not on Samanages part but just the amount of work/training on actually switching ticketing system for +60 technicians and close to 8k customers. Once it all shakes it we will be in great shape.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Although we have not implemented these yet, I can already tell the Service catalog and Knowledge base will both be extremely beneficial to our service. In the past, we never really offered either of these. The inventory process will obviously benefit greatly as well.

Clean, Intuitive, Cloud solution for Asset Management and Help Desk

  • March 21, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Contracts feature is my favorite, as I am responsible for software tracking and maintenance renewals. Managing this information in Samanage with purchase orders, renewal dates & reminders help make this process a lot less of a headache and allows me to create a one-stop shop.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the bugs like losing your filtered view after editing a record. The plus side of these annoyances is that Samanage is constantly updating and is very responsive to support inquiries and open to feature requests via the community.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving a lot of asset management woes with having the agent in our image. Adds that extra layer of live asset tracking visibility that is vital in conjunction with physically tagging and assigning the asset to an end user.

Samanage rocks!

  • March 11, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, the ability to create work flows with requests, projects etc. The product is automatically updated, new features are applied to the system.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment reporting, would like to see better reporting capabilities. I know there are a lot of new features coming soon, reporting being one of them. No integration of google address book, would love to see user account information in sync with the google address book.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to create work flow for our roll out process with new equipment. In the past it was very messy with forms etc. Now everything can be completed online showing a full history and timeline. Easy to track assets and their life cycle.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend investigating a means of automating user account information.

Samanage gets a thumbs up from me!

What do you like best about the product?
feature and function simplicity. This is a great all in one ITSM package that delivers on all the important elements you would expect.
What do you dislike about the product?
limited self-service portal customization's and no email capability to send PO's directly to vendors from within the app. Also, currently no notification customization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need an inexpensive helpdesk solution. This helped us track, trend and organize our work more efficiently.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For a small to medium sized business looking for an inexpensive ITSM solution, Samanage will do a great job serving that need. The product is solid and I am looking forward to the addition of new product features in the coming years.

I like the feature set and how easy it is for my users and my team to use the tool. We are finally starting to use it fully, and I am hopeful that it will improve our effectiveness in other areas.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost, just b/c I need toi justify, but even that being the case, I think it is a bargain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal IT support. Increased satisfaction of customers and better visibility to management of what my team does.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Run the trial, ask questions and you will be happy. And set time and energy to configure it right and it will pay dividends.

What do you like best about the product?
All online, easy to manage. We also love that fact we can print labels from this to use on the devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
We think the cost of this software is a bit too high. We only use the inventory part and this should be a stand alone product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Inventory of computer hardware and devices. this software makes it super east to do this kind of thing.
