Ease Of Use:

User experience (UX) refers to a person’s overall experience with a product, system, or service. It encompasses all aspects of human-computer interaction and product ownership that are practical, experiential, affective, meaningful, and valuable.
In the case of ServiceDesk Plus from ManageEngine it’s fairly easy to implement and provides the most basic needs of an IT support application.
It works on the basis of ITIL standards. Reports related to incidents can easily exported and represented to the management.Managing Incidents and Support team is quite simple and easy from the portal.The interface is very friendly, you don’t need to have so much knowledge about ITIL before implementing the software, and ServiceDesk Plus will help you to improve your Help Desk service.

Verdict:

ServiceDesk Plus is an excellent product for logging, tracking and monitoring the service desk requests. The ability to track and manage the request workflow is extremely beneficial. It makes the requirements, bugs, and concerns raised for a specific project visible. A request can be assigned to a group of developers or individual developers who will work on it. The timelines can also be defined in terms of the project’s requirements.
It has a lot of built-in templates that you can customize to fit your organizational needs. All of the features I was looking for in a service desk software, such as managing software deployment, desktop/server management, and add-ons for change, problem, and incident management, were available, plus a great support!
