Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The dashboard is very useful to get a quick overview of current tasks.""Its integration features, orchestration features, and discovery tools are the most valuable. It is also pretty stable, and it can be as scalable as you want.""The most valuable features are problem management and change management.""Clear processes with transparent responsibilities led to more efficiencies within the teams.""The dashboard and the reporting functionality are the solution's most valuable features.""All our activities are carried out in the one place."

"The solution's business process flow is quite strong. Its reporting is quite good. The standard, basic ITSM functionality like call logging and call flow, for example, are areas the solution really excels in."

Cons
"Access is only available if we're on VPN.""The stability, specifically in the on-premises deployment model, could be improved.""Areas for improvement would be the service catalog and customer catalog, which is not very user-friendly. The shopping cart experience is also terrible - you submit and go straight to the cart, you can't continue shopping or see your overall cost.""Application service mapping, GRC, SecOps, and things like that need improvement."

"It's worked well for us for a significant period of time. However, we are kind-of outgrowing it at the moment. We're struggling a bit with making it meet our requirements."
