Quotes From Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros
"An inexpensive solution that is easy to set up and use without much support.""It's a stable solution.""The interface and customization are the solution's most valuable features.""The knowledge base is the solution's most valuable aspect. All of the knowledge we need is right at our fingertips.""If a company needs to expand the solution, they are able to do so. It is quite scalable.""The solution is very good at integrating systems.""The feature that we like best is the stability of the product.""The reporting is very good and you can do incident matching." More BMC Remedyforce Pros »	"We find its ability to track what's going on with each request very valuable. We are also able to merge ticket requests and assign them to different groups in the company. We have another department that uses the same system.""The overall functionality of the product is excellent." More Freshservice Pros »
Cons
"The product is created to service small to medium-sized businesses. Although it can be used in enterprise settings this choice comes down to properly assessing needs.""They need to include more high-end technology, different languages, the kinds of things not yet included in the product.""The solution's business workforce should be much more capable of drag and drop functionality. The solution could be kind-of UI based rather than still being coding based. You still need an administrator profile, and you'll have to code things if you want to use the solution.""The solution's technical support is in need of a lot of improvement.""It's not user-friendly. Everything is overly complicated. Even for the simplest of tasks, a user will waste time. It requires a lot of clicks and a lot of steps. Often we will have to do the same thing two or three times. It's really bad.""It's hard to find information about the solution online. We'll sometimes use the internet to look for technical answers, and we won't be able to find it.""The customer service management (CSM) features are in need of improvement.""The ease of customization needs improvement." More BMC Remedyforce Cons »	"They can improve the search. While searching the inventory, when I cancel a selected category, the search box disappears, and I have to reload the page. It is a small glitch. Currently, we can have only one plan per subscription. All users have to be on the same plan. We can't have two users for plan A and five users for plan B. It might be good if there was an option to have different plans within one subscription so that you can assign each agent to the corresponding plan.""The product should look at BCM or ServiceNow and see if there are features that would make nice additions. It would help them stay competitive." More Freshservice Cons »

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My current company has a deal. I think the subscription per year is 20K dollars. Per year for the client is really nothing compared to other products and solutions."

More BMC Remedyforce Pricing and Cost Advice »

"It is good for the price you pay. It has different plans. If you need all features, you need to go for a higher plan. Currently, with the second tier plan, you cannot completely separate the group of agents. So, the agent in each group can see another person's ticket. You also cannot modify the rules based on the viewable, readable stuff and cannot have a custom role in this plan. If you want to do that, you have to go for a higher plan. It works in our case because it doesn't matter if the other group can see our ticket because it doesn't contain anything sensitive. We also didn't need the project or change management features. That's why we didn't go with a higher plan.""The pricing information is on their website. It's my understanding that their Pro Plan, for example, is around $89/month."
