The Desktop Central-Zendesk integration fills the gaps found in help desks today by improving their overall visibility and control as well as reducing service restoration times.

Being able to manage assets and troubleshoot remotely will allow Zendesk users to concentrate on resolving issues faster.

"Our integration with Zendesk will further improve the ITSM ecosystem and provide users with better tools to reduce their ticket turnaround time," said Mathivanan Venkatachalam, director of product management at ManageEngine. "With the growing number of help desk tools being adopted today, it's imperative that we give technicians the means to manage endpoints from one platform."

Integrated Endpoint Management Features

Desktop Central automates regular desktop management routines like installing patches, distributing software, etc. The Desktop Central-Zendesk integration comes with an entire gamut of enterprise IT management features that save time and boost productivity for Zendesk users, empowering them to improve customer engagement. With this integration, Zendesk users can:

  • Deploy software directly from software request tickets
