What is our primary use case?
Instead of Traverse, we are now using SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability, as we have replaced Kaseya Traverse with that. I recommend it to my customers.
We are now dealing with SolarWinds Service Desk also, in addition to SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability.
Currently, in-house, we were using Kaseya Vorex, which is a professional service automation platform, and we had now planned to replace that with SolarWinds Service Desk, even in-house. For clients, we have already rolled out SolarWinds Service Desk, and we are also planning to migrate to it internally.
What is most valuable?
What I appreciate the most about the product is that, as per the name given, it brings better visibility to the client in terms of their infrastructure, application, and performance.
SolarWinds Service Desk is a quite matured product now, making it one of the best options on the market.
The incident management feature is aligned to the ITIL framework.
The asset management feature is also a very thoughtful framework they have implemented. Right from onboarding an asset till scrapping it, the complete lifecycle is cleanly maintained within the system itself. All the approval chains, their logs, and even the contract information have been made very easy for the users to maintain.
The knowledge base feature is an out-of-the-box knowledge base, and additionally, we can integrate our own DMS. Machine learning is something that they have been following, and we can integrate an external DMS with that, which helps in searching SOPs and even the global knowledge base over the internet, allowing it to be searched within the same single window itself.
Change management in SolarWinds Service Desk is linked with the service catalog, and since it also has a service portal, a self-service portal for users, introducing a service catalog that's integrated with the change management actually completes the flow and makes life easier for IT administrators.
What needs improvement?
The industry standard practices that this product is already certified for show that there will always be room for improvement since it is a service-led product, so we'll keep on giving feedback wherever there is an improvement needed.
The only additional features I would like to see in the future, to make it closer to perfection, are intelligent features that are currently being developed on the cloud platform and not on the on-premise model.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been dealing with Hybrid Cloud Observability by SolarWinds for almost two years now.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
The initial setup of SolarWinds Service Desk is very easy, as it is not complex, and a major part of the things are already in place, so it doesn't take much time to set up and get onboard.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product has been stable overall, as I do not have many issues. We have been serving more than 50 clients now, and as of today, we have onboarded or migrated to the SolarWinds platform, and it is going well, meaning we are expanding further.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable, and being a managed service, we thought of scaling, so it has to be a scalable product in our case as well.
How are customer service and support?
I have not experienced the technical support by SolarWinds yet because we have our own team already built for maintaining, managing, and supporting these kinds of products.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before choosing SolarWinds Service Desk, my customers evaluated other options, as we had spent a lot of time with Kaseya Vorex. We were also exploring Datto, which is another company that they had acquired, but the response was very poor. For that reason, we then tried ServiceNow and Symphony, but we found that SolarWinds Service Desk is best suited to our business model as a managed service, which is why we moved ahead with that.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of SolarWinds Service Desk is very easy, as it is not complex, and a major part of the things are already in place, so it doesn't take much time to set up and get onboard.
What about the implementation team?
We have not experienced technical support by SolarWinds yet because we have our own team already built for maintaining, managing, and supporting these kinds of products.
What other advice do I have?
I think the pricing of SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability is now comparative and suited to our business model, which is the reason we have moved to that.
It has actually helped my customers' technicians to improvise upon their efficiency, and since it has an out-of-the-box knowledge base as well, that has helped a lot in managing and resolving service requests and incidents.
In leveraging the analytics and reporting capabilities, I find that it is excellent, as we have experienced. By default, they provide the widgets with all the major KPIs that are required to look at the service experience.
On a scale of one to ten, I rate SolarWinds Service Desk a nine.
