"I believe that the ease of use and UI is great"

"The solution has a very good business event manager tool."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"

"We have a unique use case because BMC typically sells this solution into enterprises that are deploying it within their IT, versus to a managed services provider like us where we're supporting thousands of customers. Multi-tenancy and the scalability have been challenges along the way, as we've grown... If anything could have gone better as we were ramping this up and adding a lot of volume to it, I would say it's the scalability. That would be one thing that could be improved."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
