Pros
"It is stable and its technical support is good and quick.""It has helped the help desk team. We get our tickets in and are able to support our customers, the end-users, with this solution.""​Ability to auto-generate email messages, process email messages, and approvals.""We can track issues easier and run reports on issues to see if there are patterns.""The discovery feature is very flexible.""I think the most important feature is the ability to receive valuable ticket status support in a timely manner with little to no downtime interruptions.""This product solidly handles incident management, problem management, and change management.""Technical support is good."

"The product is very scalable and stable when used as a help desk once it is built out.""The product teams are continuously on the products trying to improve them. If, for example, I ask for a change to be done in the software, the chances are in the next release it's going to be done and incorporated. It's this personal touch that I like.""We have found the reporting in this product to be very useful.""The most valuable features are the ITIL compliance and billing."

Cons
"It would be better if it were more user-friendly. The reporting part in the version we have is a little complicated. It takes too long to build and report. It would also be better if there were another way to manage notifications.""The pricing could be a little lower and the product should cover more iTel versions.""Reporting could be improved along with the option to create more fine tuned reports and to create specific fields for each type of ticket.""The mobile version of this product does not support asset management.""It is pretty clunky and not very intuitive. Even though I have used it for many years, I don't think it is a very good ITSM platform in general. In the telecom space, a lot of telco providers use this solution, but from my perspective, it is not very user friendly. It is a bit more laborious. There are still too many human touchpoints. There can be a little bit more automation. It would also be good to integrate it with other tools. Integration is quite difficult, especially in the telco space.""It would be nice if they added the ability to go directly to a form via a deep link URL.""We need more customizable reporting functionality. We could also use more collaboration of service desk tickets. This will allow for two departments to share the same information, track the progress of the total task scope no matter how complex the request is.""The workflow should be made to be more user-friendly. It should also have more granular scalability."

More BMC FootPrints Service Core Cons →

"I would like to see some kind of project management or portfolio management in a future version.""There is no cloud-based version and it would be helpful if it were available.""They're pretty good but there's always room for improvement. There should be more templates that users can utilize immediately.""The tech support is terrible and that seems to be a part of their business plan.""The business model for the company is to sell low and charge for customization, education or expertise.""The product is very difficult to use and configure and requires specialists."
