Cons
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and technical support is not good enough."

More IBM Tivoli Asset Management for IT Cons →

"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies.""The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it.""The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA.""Reporting has to be tackled a bit more. Conceptually, it is there and conceptually it is amazing, but somehow the module itself is suffering.""In a future release, we would like an improved upgrade process. When you upgrade it now, it first uninstalls everything and then reinstalls all the packages, which means any customization that you've done in the directories on the surface disappears.""I'm not aware of areas that need improvement.""pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events.""It is a very complicated product. It's difficult to manage. Nowadays, products are very easy to manage, deploy, and integrate, but Operations Bridge is very complicated to manage."
