Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
ITIL best practices and smart practices are efficient in calculating the performance of services provided. Offers good reporting capabilities. Getting the right information is the key to understanding and improvements. Remedyforce replaced all our legacy applications globally. This enabled us to move tickets and requests to other regions easily. The record linking shows us all of the changes that were implemented during that release, what clients were affected, related incidents and problem records, and important documentation that occurred along the way. Remedyforce has greatly improved our company's ability to accurately track and create new records. Our staff is able to quickly jump into Remedyforce and understand the tool with minimal training. | It allowed the development team to concentrate on the client’s requirements instead. |
Cons | |
There should be some tool to move SRD and SLA from the sandbox to production. Improve the out-of-the-box ITIL compliance, which would be great for new customers. More flexible ways to change the existing configuration would benefit existing customers. It required a high amount of customisation for us to work with the tool and sometimes special capabilities needed to be purchased. As we added more custom configuration, we started running into SOQL errors, which could not be resolved yet. The setup was somewhat complex as it seemed there were three ways to do the same thing. | The reporting and management information (MI) are very limited, and stopped realistic and timely reporting on outstanding incidents. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
BMC Remedyforce is extremely reasonable when talking about licensing costs. The cost may be higher, but it is backed up by the great product and superb customer service. Licensing should be reviewed and understood before making the purchase. | Information Not Available |
