ManageEngine announced that ServiceDesk Plus, the IT help desk software, is now integrated with Zoho Reports, the online reporting and business intelligence application from Zoho.com. Available immediately as an add-on module, the Zoho Reports integration lets ServiceDesk Plus users easily analyze their IT service desk data as well as create insightful reports and visually rich dashboards for informed decision-making.
"While raw data and graphs are abundant in IT service desk environments, analysis and insightful recommendations are scarce," said Clarence Rozario, Director of Product Management at Zoho. "With the Zoho Reports integration, IT managers using ServiceDesk Plus can keep track of the key metrics that matter and demonstrate the value of their IT service desk operations in tangible terms to the stakeholders involved."
"The addition of Zoho Reports is a big step for ServiceDesk Plus and for the thousands of customers who use it to manage their IT service desks," said Umasankar Narayanasamy, director of engineering at ManageEngine. "Over and above the default and custom reporting options in ServiceDesk Plus, this new integration empowers our customers to squeeze advanced intelligence out of their service desk data for critical decision-making - without the complexity usually associated with advanced BI efforts."
Advanced Service Desk Reporting Made Easy
The new Zoho Reports add-on complements the ready-made and custom reports previously available in ServiceDesk Plus. The new add-on provides an easy, efficient way to derive business intelligence out of IT operations data - no database queries required. Instead, the Zoho Reports add-on lets IT service desk managers and agents quickly create powerful reports and dashboards using a flexible, drag-and-drop interface.
With the Zoho Reports add-on, users can:
- Generate fine-grained reports on the fly, without writing database queries
- Track the most important service desk KPIs with 80+ prepackaged reports
- Shape and design data with a wide range of charts, tabular and summary reports
- Create personalized dashboards for consolidated views of multiple reports
- Share data and reports for collaborative analysis and report creation
- Embed reports and dashboards across websites, intranets, blogs and applications
- Automatically generate reports and automatically email them from ServiceDesk Plus
- Access cloud-based reports any time from a variety of platforms, such as mobile and tablet
The Zoho Reports add-on is available immediately in all editions of ServiceDesk Plus with all plans of Zoho Reports, including the free plan. The Zoho Reports add-on is available with the recently released patch of ServiceDesk Plus hotfix 9028.
The Latest
For fifteen years, observability lived downstream of everything else. Code shipped, something broke, an engineer went to the dashboards. The job was forensic. The pillars we built, such as logs, metrics, and traces, were designed for that role: tell a human what just happened, fast enough that they can make it stop. That role has quietly ended ...
Hybrid IT has become the standard operating model for enterprises — but that companies are still looking for the right hybrid IT mix, according to the 2026 State of the Data Center Report from CoreSite. After years of cloud migration and hybrid adoption, organizations are shifting their focus from deciding whether to use cloud, colocation or on-premises infrastructure to determining which workloads belong in each environment ...
Pilots are everywhere, stakeholders are seeking results, businesses are pushing for new tools, and IT teams are being asked to make AI secure, reliable, and useful at scale. But as organizations move from testing AI to operationalizing it, many are discovering that the biggest barrier is not the model, the use case, or even the budget. It is the file data foundation within ...
Fast or cheap? For most of my career in engineering, speed and quality sat on opposite ends of a seesaw. The "OR" in "fast or cheap" was non-negotiable. It was expected that pushing for faster releases meant that something in quality would give way. Tightening quality controls meant the schedule slipped. Every engineering leader I know has lived some version of that tradeoff ... The seesaw is starting to level out ...
I have been building enterprise software for more than 20 years ... One thing stays true across all of it: You do not find out your foundation is wrong during the crisis. You find out when the debt comes due. For a lot of organizations, that bill is arriving now. New research ... puts hard numbers on something practitioners have been sensing for a while.

The rapid growth of AI workloads is pushing traditional log management approaches to their limits, according to The State of Log Management 2026 report from Dynatrace. Modern logs have become critical to understanding, validating, and securing AI-driven decisions, helping organizations ensure reliability, compliance, and performance at scale. However, the volume and complexity of AI telemetry are overwhelming legacy tools ...
For years, secure connectivity has relied on a familiar pattern: route traffic back to centralized gateways, inspect it, and then allow access. This model worked when applications lived in a handful of data centers and users were largely confined to offices. That model is now under strain. Applications are distributed across clouds, users connect from everywhere, and real-time workloads demand performance that centralized inspection points struggle to deliver. As traffic volumes grow and latency expectations shrink, routing everything through a small number of control points has become both a performance bottleneck and a resilience risk. The future of secure connectivity requires a different approach ...
The AI experimentation phase is over, and the private cloud is where enterprise AI workloads are being deployed for security and scale, according to Private Cloud Outlook 2026, a new report from Broadcom ... 2026 marks an acceleration into a full AI tipping point.

44% of organizations have reported an outage in the past year tied to suppressed or ignored alerts, and 78% had at least one incident where no alert was fired at all ... Engineers learned about failures from customers.

Cloud outages are usually described as technical failures. When a service goes down, a dependency breaks, or a region has issues, the focus immediately shifts to infrastructure. But if you look closely at how these incidents actually unfold, the root cause is rarely the technology itself. It is almost always tied to decisions made earlier, during design, implementation, or day-to-day operations. The system behaves the way it was built. The real question is how it was built ...
