Note to self. Don't buy MangeEngine products
-
So tried out the MangeEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP on premise install on a Linux server.
Flash based for most of the widgets.
The Linux service script is 10 years out of date.
They use install shield because, who knows.
The software takes, 10 minutes to start up. This is not a server performance issue, that is just how long it takes the software to do who knows what.
The UI and over-all design is still terribly out of date. 2017, time to move on.Don't take my word for it

Try it and see, will be removed after 48 hours because the internet has a high chance of breaking this. I give no warranty for the safety and security of the link above, click at your own risk.

Push? I've never seen SW push them. If you mean "Isn't that someone that buys ads on SW?" then yes, they buy ad space on SW.

That isn't how I meant it. And @scottalanmiller within the spiceworks local admin portal there is a ManageEngine section built into that page.

What product is this? I have never heard of such a product and they do not list such a product.
Do you mean ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP? That is a product.
One would think that someone so bent on correcting others would take the time to get it right.

Paid plug in most likely. I do not have it installed anywhere to confirm.

Yeah we don't have any additional functionality that are payed services (of spiceworks), so I wasn't sure.

Updated.

The mobile version of this is maybe 1/10th completed. Completely unusable....
The desktop version at least is browse-able, even if it is an awful product.

Right.... an ad, that's what SW sells, ad space. The admin portal components are major ad space. But that's for other products, not their helpdesk.

The non-MSP version looks fine.

@scottalanmiller of the product that @Breffni-Potter provided access too.

Okay, I thought so but so many things were mentioned I wasn't positive.
-
Non-MSP also looks good on the mobile app. Do not have that handy to show off without having to edit a screenshot.

@JaredBusch Maybe it's the way @Breffni-Potter has the one he's currently hosted configured. But on my phone I got nothing even remotely likely that.
I'll post from my phone in a second.
