Cons
"One of the major problems is that support is not so good.""The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy.""Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."

More BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Cons →

"So if it's more than a thousand, there could be some scalability issues. It becomes more complex as you go.""The solution is more expensive than other products.""It's useful for us but if it had more educational reporting, it would good. It's not necessarily lacking but it's an area that could get better.""The tool should provide a 10-15 days extension for customers when their license expires.""Fingerprint access security would improve this solution.""I find their logging a little bit trickier to manage. The logging of events is broken up into a lot of different categories. Instead of breaking up my logs into several different places, I personally like to have all the events in one spot and then filter them down. In particular, I find that troubleshooting on Fortinet takes a little bit longer just because of those functional breakups in the logs.""There can be defects in Fortinet FortiPortal when functioning at high temperatures.""The product must have in-built SD-WAN connectivity."
