"I am impressed with the tool's integration with our mail system.""This is a premier product and it has been around for a long time.""I like that you can do all the things with it. You can patch, and you can run the scheduled tasks. You can remote in, upload files, and download files. You can log onto a computer PowerShell, or command prompt, without having to log into RDP. I also like its ease of use."

Cons
"Access is only available if we're on VPN.""Application service mapping, GRC, SecOps, and things like that need improvement.""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.""The stability, specifically in the on-premises deployment model, could be improved."

More Cherwell Service Management Cons →

"Its reporting is lousy and bad. It is not as good as it should be. There is too much work involved to get what you want. Most times, you have to call them to customize some stuff. I just don't like that part. They need to work on their reporting. They have a way to go.""What I would like to see is a simplified solution that is packaged better, where you can easily implement or turn on the functionality that you need.""The tool needs to improve its customization of the user interface."

  • More Cherwell Service Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Don't get scared of the price tag because it's definitely worth it."
  • "I don't know the exact cost, but I know it's reasonable. Its cost of entry is not bad. I've had other organizations sign up for it. I don't know how much they paid, but it wasn't bad. You charge for every object. You charge for AV, and you charge for servers. There is a charge for everything or every object in that. I know we make money from it, but I don't know what it is."
  • "I would rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten since it's not the cheapest one in the market."
