Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is great at being able to fetch almost any kind of file.""The most valuable feature that comes with Netcool/Impact is the ISPF APA support. It is inherent to Netcool/Impact, so I can use the ISPF of any other product, which I can invoke and consume through Impact, and do integrations, which is great. I run the Netcool desktop application so I can integrate with other applications in the ticketing system. It's a great ability being able to invoke ISPF and integrate.""It is easy to integrate with other models such as Oracle, other systems, external systems, and to reach events.""This product allows us to make use of open-source products, including running Java code."

"VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process.""The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages.""The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation.""The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation.""Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred."

Cons
"Stability-wise, this product needs to be improved.""For improvement, I'd say the dashboard and the overall GUI could use some work. Although, I don't think that there's much improvement that Netcool really needs to achieve in this area, because when we're talking GUI, Impact is able to integrate with any third-party system and it comes with ISPF APA. It's more beneficial than Netcool/OMNIbus in this respect, and it's quite easy to handle.""The solution is somewhat complicated. It's not exactly straightforward.""IBM is not investing in the development of the on-premise version of this solution."

"Should have more YouTube webinars.""The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions.""There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert.""At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap.""The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."
