Top Rated Hornbill Service Manager Alternatives
We have used Hornbill for a few years now and have no issues, the platform is stable, easy to use and is constantly being updated and improved with new features and enhancements. The support staff are all very helpful and the hornbill community pages are a great way to share knowledge and get help from other Hornbill users.
The ability to design and create your own business processes and apply it to any area of the business is great and the workflows used to do this are fairly simple and easy to create using drag and drop.
One of the biggest benefits initially for us was the 30 day free trial to be able to use the product and set it up as we wanted with the help of a Hornbill Specialist. There is potentially a lot of work to do this (depending on what you want to setup initially) but it does enable you to have a real hands on experience using your own workflows and processes.

Nothing really bad or negative about the product, initially I found the reporting element weak, but this has improved over time and now reports can be scheduled to run and emailed to any recipient so that has helped a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about Hornbill Service Manager is how easy it is to use It helps us track service requests and its customizable workflows are really helpful for making our work easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hornbill Service Manager does not integrate well with some other tools we use so moving data around can be hard Also, setting it up was a bit tricky and needed more help than we thought Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since the move to the cloud-based Hornbil a much cleaner interface and more responsive. Lots more functions and easier to access - fast and responsive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lack of integration to GSuite but this may just be the way our admin has set the system up. Disappointed to find that extra functionality that really should be in the base product is an extra monthly cost - for instance, we wanted to include maintenance contracts but this is an addon to an already pricy product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Excellent workflow engine allowing you to configure both quick and simple solutions, with the ability to add in complex workflows as your own processes mature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hornbill has a good active user group and the Hornbill support team are extremely helpful. The mechanism for feature requests however is not easy to use or track requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My Company has been a Hornbill customer for 5 years now. It is a younger ITSM solution so not as advanced as some of its competitors. However, the speed at which they are churning out new solutions is amazing and they are quickly catching up. The reason we have remained with Hornbill for so many years though is because they have to be the best company I have worked with in regards to their customer service. Nothing is too much, they go above and beyond when it comes to helping out and are always at the end of the phone. No request is too much to ask. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is very little to dislike, however as mentioned above they are a younger solution so are not always as advanced as other competitors. However, they are working towards that and it's clear from the improvements they roll out quarterly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hornbill is very easy to use, with a clean customer portal. It makes raising a request very easy for the customer, with all the useful info (active requests, bulletins, faq) on one page. Analysts also need very little training, I just send them a one-page help guide and have had no complaints.
It is very cost-effective and admin of the system is simple, especially for staff with no previous application/ programming background (link me).
The vendor is very responsive to us as customers, and there is a large community on their forum sharing tips and getting feature requests supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much to dislike but pain of getting staff of Internet Explorer, as this is no longer supported with Hornbill has been a bit more painful than I expected...I mean who uses IE anymore :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Offered balanced advice and support throughout the process which has enabled the organisation to implement a much improved call monitoring and call logging system and shared some great knowledge which has assisted with driving forward developments to meet the 21th sentry.

Nothing so far we have found the system very rewarding (we have only been live for 1 day) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hornbill Service Manager enables you to have the autonomy to manage your services in the way that works best for the team in real time. Being able to be dynamic with the settings is a real benefit for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think it could look nicer in order to have a better user experience. The Search functions could work better as well; either when looking in request view or searching within Admin Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's very flexible and works as the user required.
Very stable product - Once configured it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
