Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution's back-end architecture is very good for end users.""It also provides the front end for the employees too. It's pretty basic, but it gives them the means to reach out to IT so they don't have to pick up the phones.""All the interactions and orchestrations of every problem, we can analyze what happens in the organization and which kind of incident we have.""We have decreased training and talk time, and all those good stats, just by reusing information, not reinventing it, every time we get a call.""It has all our configurations. All our infrastructure configurations are on a single pane of glass to view, allowing for one single point of information.""It has a good GUI interface.""The value for the clients is that you can save information in the application and get reports with that information.""The database and the power that is driven behind the database."

"The product has the best features for ITSM.""The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it.""SummitAI IT Management Suite's chat box feature has reduced our service discount, and because it's intelligent, the responses that go out to the users have improved, and the resolutions are much faster.""It was easy to access and fast. Our experience using it solely as a ticketing tool. We used fetch reports from the tool, particularly with regard to SLA tracking for our partners."

Cons
"I would also like to see a simpler reporting tool. They went from one fairly robust, very complex, reporting tool - it was great - and then they went to another one that was also fairly complex and robust. That's a great tool for people who are report writers, but for the average person who just wants to get a quick little report, it's like handing somebody a chainsaw because they have to break some toothpicks in half.""The UI needs to be upgraded.""The interface for the users is a bit old-fashioned and not user-friendly.""The upgrade was pretty complex.""It doesn't yet have the ability to integrate with other products.""The SDM administration and customisation needS deep information about architecture and vendor support continuously.""Diversifying notification methods with pop-ups or ready-made WhatsApp or Skype integration packages would be welcome.""The product needs to have a better user experience in the interface and mobile functionality.​"

"There could be flexibility in terms of customization.""SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved.""Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI.""I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now."
