ManageEngine Rolls Out ServiceDesk Plus “Smart Suggestions” to Accelerate IT Ticket Resolution

Executive Summary

ManageEngine has launched “Smart Suggestions” in ServiceDesk Plus, an AI-powered feature designed to recommend solutions, knowledge base articles, and actions to IT support agents in real time. This enhancement aims to reduce ticket resolution times and improve service quality for enterprise ITSM teams.

What Happened?

On 3 December 2025, ManageEngine announced the general availability of Smart Suggestions for ServiceDesk Plus. The feature leverages artificial intelligence to:

  • Analyse the content of incoming support tickets

  • Instantly suggest relevant knowledge base articles, previous ticket resolutions, and recommended actions

  • Learn from past resolutions and continuously improve its recommendations over time

  • Integrate seamlessly with existing ITSM workflows, supporting agents via both web and mobile interfaces

This update is part of ManageEngine’s broader push to embed AI-driven productivity tools across its ITSM portfolio.

  • Faster ticket resolution by surfacing the most relevant information immediately

  • Reduced manual searching for solutions, saving time for both agents and end users

  • Improved consistency in support quality and adherence to best practices

  • Continuous learning for the service desk, making the ITSM process smarter with every ticket handled
