DoneDone vs SolarWinds Service Desk
A side-by-side editorial comparison of DoneDone and SolarWinds Service Desk — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
DoneDone vs SolarWinds Service Desk: at a glance
What is DoneDone?
DoneDone smooths daily work: paste-in checklists and replies that keep their formatting.
DoneDone's latest release is two quality-of-life changes. New checklists open a popup where items can be typed or pasted in bulk, and replies now keep bold, italics and lists. They follow a busy late summer: workflow automations, custom fields, email-to-task, allow/block filters, and one email connection feeding several Mailboxes.
What is SolarWinds Service Desk?
SolarWinds Service Desk is loading its Labs pipeline with native Entra ID automation, IT asset tracking, and compliance-ready task management.
SolarWinds Service Desk has shipped a cluster of Labs features covering IT asset check-out/check-in, built-in Microsoft Entra ID user lifecycle automation, and a Zoom process integration. Outside Labs, video embedding now supports Loom, Wistia, and Dropbox; column customization on index views is now fully user-controlled; and org-level administrators can take ownership of custom fields and rules created by individual service providers.

DoneDone
5.0SUPPORT
DoneDone smooths daily work: paste-in checklists and replies that keep their formatting.
◆ Current state
DoneDone's latest release is two quality-of-life changes. New checklists open a popup where items can be typed or pasted in bulk, and replies now keep bold, italics and lists. They follow a busy late summer: workflow automations, custom fields, email-to-task, allow/block filters, and one email connection feeding several Mailboxes.
◆ Where it's heading
After two substantive launches (automations and custom fields), DoneDone has shifted to tightening the email-driven support workflow and cutting friction in everyday task handling. The cadence is roughly one or two updates a month, each narrow in scope.
◆ Prediction
Expect more email-pipeline and checklist refinements; automations may gain new triggers, given checklist templates already hook into status changes.
SolarWinds Service Desk
0.0SUPPORT
SolarWinds Service Desk is loading its Labs pipeline with native Entra ID automation, IT asset tracking, and compliance-ready task management.
◆ Current state
SolarWinds Service Desk has shipped a cluster of Labs features covering IT asset check-out/check-in, built-in Microsoft Entra ID user lifecycle automation, and a Zoom process integration. Outside Labs, video embedding now supports Loom, Wistia, and Dropbox; column customization on index views is now fully user-controlled; and org-level administrators can take ownership of custom fields and rules created by individual service providers.
◆ Where it's heading
The Labs pipeline signals that Entra ID and Zoom integrations are near GA — these are the connectors that move manual provisioning work off IT desks. Task Management v2 (already shipped) and the sandbox environment for Premier customers indicate Service Desk is building toward a compliance-friendly, multi-tier enterprise platform rather than a consumer-focused UX overhaul.
◆ Prediction
Entra ID and Zoom integrations will graduate from Labs to GA; expect compliance and audit-trail positioning to follow, targeting regulated industries where approvals and task ownership need to be traceable to specific individuals.
