What is the best tool for ITIL service management manage engine's service desk plus or Microsoft's SCM 2012?

Hello,

There are alot of tools available in the market as an ITSM solution. As per the magic quadrant , the main leaders are in the order

1. BMC Remedy

2. ServiceNow

3. HP

4. CA

5. Heat

Alot of other tools are coming into the market day by day.

In the recent years, ServiceNow has captured the market share in the ITSM tools on a great pace than the other vendors. Being the cloud solution, the ease of implementation is one major factor which customers are looking for. Apart from this, overhead of maintenance, upgrade of application and backup of data is taken care by ServiceNow. Hence this tool is now selling like a hot cake in the market.

One of the drawbacks, which is there with ServiceNow is that, they offer only the ITSM , ITAM , and certain amount of automation solution with the tool. The effort required to integrate with other BSM solution has to be considered, as most of the companies are having different flavors of Monitoring solutions.

Other vendors too are having, cloud ITSM solutions ,

HP's Service Manager is one of the tool whcih can be customized to a great extend as per the custom process. This tool is a development platform and can have a large scale integration possiblities. HPs BTO suite is having a large variety of tools which can handle all areas of ESM.This tool can be bi directionally integrated with all the tools.

But my recommendation would be not always to look for the best ITSM solution in the market. You have to look at the process defined and have to see the tool which best fits to tailor your custom process. Its not the tool whcih makes the process.

Thank you

Dheeraj.

I can comment on this from two angles as of my experience. If you are looking for an Open Source tool, then I would recommend OTRS. It's not that user friendly, but enriched with excellent framework for ITIL. Beauty of OTRS is you can start with free version and go for the "Business Solution" once your organization is mature enough to do so.

If you are ready to invest on it, then my recommendation is:

OTRS Business Version

ServiceNow

BMC Remedy

HP Openview 

Freshdesk
