More BMC Remedyforce [EOL] Pros →

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the incident management module.""Its ITSM approach is quite useful.""The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is its ease of use if you have implemented it in the right way.

Cons
"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.""More flexible ways to change the existing configuration would benefit existing customers.""The customer service management (CSM) features are in need of improvement.""The look and feel is very dated.""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.""As we added more custom configuration, we started running into SOQL errors, which could not be resolved yet.""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 solution's technical support is in need of a lot of improvement."

More BMC Remedyforce [EOL] Cons →

"The solution's change management could be better.""It is time-consuming to add new users.""One of the disadvantages of TOPdesk is the reporting tool. It is very poor and not in real-time. You do not always receive the correct information.""This solution is modular so you only buy what you need, but I prefer what some companies are doing where they include everything in the package.""All companies have processes that need to be adjusted. When you have a change, you need to name it, and many companies have a set of changes you can use. It would be helpful if there were more space in TOPdesk to name the change or use metadata to record the kinds of changes.""If I open a ticket on the infrastructure team, I can't move it to the financial team for them to manage the ticket.""Change management implementation, facility management, and making reservations on assets can be improved.""An operator is also a user but requires creating two different records."

  • "Compared to other products in this segment, I think that they are priced well and not too expensive."
  • "There are three fee options to choose from for a company and these options compared to market prices are very high. For example, if I use one of the first options for 10 assets, then it costs 20,000 Euros. If you went to competitors, then you pay less."
