OpenText Service Management (SMAX) Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Head Of Delivery at Timestamp ITM3.5I use OpenText SMAX for ITSM and discovery; it’s easy, flexible low-code, and an integrated suite that drives portal adoption and visibility beyond IT. However, ML is underused and reporting is limited. Pricing is straightforward and competitive; I rate it 7/10.
Technical Lead at Bharti AXA Life Insurance4.0I've used OpenText SMAX for five years and find it effective for ticketing and workflow management, though it has occasional stability issues. It's easy to install, scalable, and suits IT and HR needs well.
Information Security & IT Governance Manager at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees4.0I've used OpenText SMAX for over five years for ITSM and BPM, valuing its customization and stability, though reporting is complex. Setup required a vendor, and while effective, it's costly and not easy to configure initially.
Project Manager at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees2.5We use OpenText SMAX for our end-user portal and incident management, but its difficult navigation and poor search functionality have decreased efficiency. I found ServiceNow easier to configure, offering broader functionality without needing third-party solutions.
IT Sm & Consultancy Practice Manager at fingerprint consultancy4.5I work with OpenText SMAX for its valuable features like advanced chatbots and natural language processing, though customization can be challenging. SMAX is user-friendly with quick deployment, but flexibility is essential to maximize its benefits, especially for large enterprises.
Managing Director at Intracom Telecom Ukraine4.5I use OpenText Service Management Automation X in bank and telecom settings for its sales and configuration tools, enhancing business processes across various operations. The contract management feature requires improvement. I've not considered other solutions, and there's no specific cloud provider mentioned.
Commercial Director at LeanIT Limited4.0In my company, we use OpenText SMAX for service management due to its high usability. However, it needs improved connectivity with third-party products. Despite this, it offers good value for money, providing a solid return on investment.
Senior Solution Architect at Grupo Cimcorp4.5I find SMAX an excellent, versatile, cordless application with an intelligent agent, usable across various departments. Customer support is good. My main concern is the lack of detailed integration documentation. I rate it 9/10.
