Cons
"The initial setup of BMC Remedy Asset Management was complex.""There is room for improvement in terms of support.""Integration and deployment could be better. It could be easier and faster to integrate and deploy. It would also help if we could have a 360-degree view. It would be better if they changed it to a SaaS type of offering, which is becoming the standard.""One area that requires improvement is the prevention of duplicates or data inconsistencies in the system.""The tool is very old.""Could be more user friendly for admins to manage.""Continuous improvement is recommended.""The upgrade process could be better. It would be a good improvement."

"The engineering area needs improvement.""The assets that can be discovered are pretty easy to manage, but there should be a better way to manage non-discoverable assets. Our development team works on bots and tests particular hardware. They have got different varieties of hardware. They want a feature for managing these assets within a warehouse kind of environment. For example, our IT has received 100 items, and they have assigned these items as a bulk unit to a project manager. The project manager further wants to distribute these items within his or her team. Instead of maintaining a separate Excel sheet, the project manager should be able to reallocate these items from within the tool so that we have hierarchical entities for the same unit.""The asset management tool is costly."
