Digital platform provides stable and valuable support for technical staff
The digital place is very interesting for users, and Smart IT is a very good platform for our technical staff. BMC Remedy is very stable and operational, with users being highly accustomed to using it. It is very stable and scalable, making it a valuable tool for our support team.

Comprehensive IT service processes have been supported but customization and support need improvement
All ITSM functionalities of SymphonyAI IT Service Management, including incident, problem, change, service request, and their out-of-the-box functionalities, are pretty good. SymphonyAI IT Service Management does not have too many integrations and does not have too many out-of-the-box integrations compared to other peers in the market. I think that is the only place where they lack. However, they did have a functionality where we could build our own integration, so we were using that. If they had any out-of-the-box capabilities for some of the common infrastructure tools, that would have been easier for us. The out-of-the-box functionalities were good, including AI. However, the moment we had to customize options, that becomes very difficult with SymphonyAI IT Service Management. As long as we were using out-of-the-box, it worked great.

"It is a good tool to use."
 

Cons

"Integration and deployment could be better. It could be easier and faster to integrate and deploy."
"When it comes to CMDB, to be able to manage the data, you have to have Atrium integrator, another integrated tool."

"One area that requires improvement is the prevention of duplicates or data inconsistencies in the system."
"Areas for improvement include lack of vision, lack of industry-specific solutions, limited workflows compared to ServiceNow, and being restricted to a purely IT perspective, which limits their addressable market."

"The upgrade process could be better. It would be a good improvement."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."
