    I think any organization that runs windows on their computers that is size over 50 workstations and looking for a complete package to manage their windows machines must have Microsoft System Center Service Manager, especially if they have Windows servers and VMs. The capability of managing multiple devices at ones can save a lot of time for the IT jobs.

    ServicePro has been a reliable tool to associate field service work orders to our NetSuite data. Our company has some niche and specific business use cases - so while I think it has good out of the box functionality, it has not been the easiest tool to build customizations around.

    The customer support service is excellent. They help from start/deployment through to any time later on. They responded quickly and resolved our issues professionally and in no time.

    We selected MCSM because it is a solid product that we could use very quickly, compared to other tools there is a lot more effort for integration into the infrastructure, costing time and money. We implemented the tool very quickly and since it integrates with other Microsoft products, it was very easy to get up and running.

    We originally tried Next Serice - We had a need to batch create work orders from a NetSuite Sales Order to a related work order - Our ServicePro development integration team was able to build this in our production environment, Next Service was not able to build this for us during our trial period with them.
