Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
What I have found to be the most valuable is that it offers the radius deployment package not only to the BMC cloud but also to the public cloud such as Azure. In BMC, you can do absolutely anything. You can customize, you can configure, and you can customize and develop pretty much anything. This product has helped us to maintain our OLAs (Organisation level Agreements) and SLAs (Service Level Agreements) by tracking incidents, requests, problem records, and change requests, all in the form of tickets. | The organization that is possible with other departments is the solution's most valuable aspect. |
Cons | |
In the next release, I would like to see AI used for classification or categorization. They could be more responsive to feedback from their community board. To raise any ticket, there are too many fields to be filled and it makes generating tickets very time-consuming. | Technical support is not the best. It could be much, much better and offer better support to users. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
If you are looking for some kind of professional services form the OEM then you would have to purchase that. | Information Not Available |
