Pros
"The workflow is very good, as well as customizable.""Incident Management is the most valuable feature of the solution.""When we met with the Alemba vFire from Australia, it was a good discussion and they have a good feature roadmap."

More Alemba vFire Pros →

"All our activities are carried out in the one place.""The dashboard is very useful to get a quick overview of current tasks.""The dashboard and the reporting functionality are the solution's most valuable features.""The most valuable features are problem management and change management.""Its integration features, orchestration features, and discovery tools are the most valuable. It is also pretty stable, and it can be as scalable as you want.""Clear processes with transparent responsibilities led to more efficiencies within the teams."

Cons
"The product should improve its ability to integrate with third-party tools.""The reporting needs to be improved.""We had issues with the user interface, the way it was structured wasn't that user-friendly. The chat features could improve. For example, in change management, all the chat discussions can be done via ServiceNow. We are using two separate solutions, such as Teams, to chat, and the Alemba vFire tool to process."

More Alemba vFire Cons →

"Application service mapping, GRC, SecOps, and things like that need improvement.""Areas for improvement would be the service catalog and customer catalog, which is not very user-friendly. The shopping cart experience is also terrible - you submit and go straight to the cart, you can't continue shopping or see your overall cost.""The stability, specifically in the on-premises deployment model, could be improved.""Access is only available if we're on VPN."
