Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I would tell potential users that this is a good and reliable solution; it's a solution that has stood the test of time, not something new that hasn't been used extensively, and many Fortune 500 companies use it, so it's definitely a good solution."
"The customer support is great, maybe that's because I'm with a big client."
"It has a good peer sharing module."
"BMC Remedy Asset Management is pretty easy for quite a lot of functions."
"The service management features are beneficial – very good."
"BMC Remedy is very stable and scalable, making it a valuable tool for our support team."

Cons

"Maybe the network automation aspects need improvement."
"The product's scalability is one area with certain shortcomings that need to be considered for improvement."
"There are issues from a product functionality perspective."
"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."
"There is room for improvement regarding the customization as it tends to lag in terms of flexibility, particularly in comparison to competitors."

"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
