Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like their request management as well as their project management.""The multi-tenancy architecture, both in terms of functionality and reporting, is the best feature. It is a really well-thought, designed, and developed part of this product.""It offers a comprehensive set of features without requiring additional payments for each feature."

More 4me Pros →

"Service Manager gives us a single system where everything is centralized in one base.""Service Manager does what it should, but it's quite outdated.""It's pretty well-structured in modules.""It can adapt to any process in the organization.""Sometimes, customization is simple. The version we are using now has a nice interface.""The solution will streamline productivity and also improve automation. That would bring efficiency as well the ability to handle a big number of enterprise-wide service needs. Productivity and collaborative capabilities are some of the key benefits.""It gives us better understanding and control of service management.""Technical support is pretty good."

Cons
"One area where I believe there's room for improvement in the 4me system is the absence of an asset discovery tool.""We would like to be able to customize and brand the solution, or at least the majority of its features and dashboards, particularly those that will be used by a large number of people.""We're still biased towards our previous, more mature product. 4me still needs to reach that level of maturity."

More 4me Cons →

"With the new version moving toward the codeless configuration is good, but it's losing flexibility.""I think the best recommendation to Micro Focus would be to increase awareness and the marketing for this product.""I don't see anything lacking.""Micro Focus Service Manager is not very great. It would be better if it had more features. When it comes to features, BMC tops the chart. When it comes to usage, people use BMC more.""There should be some front desk provided or some options to let our users serve themselves, because we have about 5000 servers and 400 applications.""Service Manager is at the end of its life. The architecture, performance, and look are all way behind.""It needs to be easier to use for the end users because one problem we had was that we are handling different kinds of cases.""Service Manager would be improved with access to automation."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "This pricing falls on the lower end of the spectrum, making it a cost-effective option."

  • More 4me Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I would say that identify your requirements and pay for the support to implement and test those requirements, and then hope that you did a good job because the cost of their service is fairly expensive."
  • "Micro Focus Service Manager is a little cheaper than other options. You have to pay a monthly subscription fee."
  • "The license is not cheap."
  • "I pay for Service Manager on a yearly basis, and the price is reasonable - I would rate it five out of ten."
