(Original )Information
What do you like best about Hornbill Service Manager?

Hornbill is a very visual tool. From the Business Process being clearly displayed in the HUD to the Progressive Capture helping gather key information when logging a new ticket, the platform offers a lot of out of the box components but also allow for great customisation. The "drag and drop" admin screens for setting up business processes and progressive capture makes it very easy to setup and maintain.

The interface, very focused on collaboration, takes a lot of good things from social media platforms, making it very easy to use. The self service portal is also an incredible asset for any service desk team wishing to get customers more involved in the problem resolution. It is easy to use and provide a single portal for customers to track all their tickets, see the progress and interact with the support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hornbill Service Manager?

The reporting can be a bit tricky to setup. Hornbill uses "measures" that can then be used in widgets and displayed in dashboards. Setting up these measures requires a good knowledge of the database model and can be hard to maintain if too many measures are created. There are no "self-service / exploratory" data browsing feature either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hornbill Service Manager:

If you want a quick and easy platform to manage your Service Desk processes, Hornbill is the perfect tool! It is very visual and easy to setup from scratch. The split between Business Processes and Progressive Capture is a fantastic tool. Reporting is good albeit quite limited if you want to browse in details the data. The Self-service portal is good and can really help users (use of FAQs, see their requests, interact with support team). Collaboration aspect is also a great added value of the platform and take team work to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hornbill Service Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thanks to the clear and simple interface, all support analysts now have a clear visibility of their tickets, where in the process it is at and what workload they have. We are no longer firefighting but instead focusing on helping people and preventing issues too. The dashboards we set up help a lot on a day to day and monthly basis. With all these tools as well as clear processes represented via the HUD, we managed to cut down the backlog by 35% in just a couple of months and 65% within a year! Customer satisfaction and engagement, thanks to the self service portal, is also considerably up from 3.8/5 to 4.3/5 and 4% to 17% respectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hornbill Service Manager?

Sometimes back-end configuration is overly complicated for a very simple goal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hornbill Service Manager?

The collaborative approach to enhancing the application between both Hornbill and our own dev teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hornbill Service Manager?

Nothing I particularly dislike but I'd really like to see some roadmaps of functionality coming down the tracks. There are some great ideas on the forum for future developments but there seems to be little science behind which enhancements are launched and when they drop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hornbill Service Manager:

I'd thoroughly recommend Hornbill Service Manager, it's flexible enough to cater for whatever setup you have, whether that's a traditional service desk or something more complex like a company wide change process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hornbill Service Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lots of benefits, particularly the way we've used Service Manager to manage and enhance our change processes. We can now see all change in one application and statuses for each change. Huge time savings in administering the various processes. Albeit not Service Manager related, the Project Manager application has also come on such a long way from when we took it on, big thank you to Alex for working with us so well over the past couple of years.
