Enterprise Solution Architect at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Helps design blueprints in a cloud environment but the support is a major problem

One of the major problems is that support is not so good. I used to have a support expert in Spain but they left two years ago. BMC doesn't invest a lot in network automation but network automation is a major point in CLM. There aren't any experts here in Europe, maybe they have in America, I don't know. The main problem is the support in Europe. We had a lot of problems with the people who got put on our cases. The agents that we were assigned to were not so capable. They wanted to replicate the problem. If you have an incident, it takes a lot of time to troubleshoot the problem. The incident support is not so good. The technicians don't know the platform well. BMC doesn't want to invest in CLM. Two years ago we had a lot of problems. Maybe BMC realized that CLM is an end of life product.

GTM Manager at a computer software company with 201-500 employees

Our process efficiency has improved by having all the information in one place, which has reduced manpower

The product is great. We integrated the ticketing tool with the monitoring tool. The agent ID creation is very easy when using this tool. It is so user-friendly. The user interface is good and also the pricing is great. The user interface is good, even a business user or layman can raise a ticket. They provide an all-in-one monitoring tool. If an issue happens, it gets integrated with the email, then proactively that ticket is being raised, which is good. The reporting is good. It is very clear. It is a customized report; however you want it, you can customize it. We use the solution’s role-based dashboards. The head of IT wants to use it so he can see holistically what is happening, e.g., what are the tickets being raised, what is a major issue, and what escalations are happening. There are different dashboards that are customized. For our head of IT, we made a separate dashboard. Then, for the executives, we made a separate dashboard based on time, like hourly or daily. All these reports were customized. While they didn't provide a BI dashboard, they provide a kind of graphical dashboard for whatever the issue is. Once you click on a particular ticket, it drills down to the issue, what it is and when the issue was raised. The drill down is good. It is more like a business intelligence (BI) tool. You can just scroll and zoom in. It goes deep into the issue. Once you click a particular dashboard, it will take you to the next page, then it takes you to the issue. Infraon IMS provides workflow automation for real-world use cases. This makes our work easier. It is just drag and drop (no coding) to build the workflows. For example, a particular ticket is being raised. It gets routed to three important IT executives within our team. From our team, it gets routed to the next level. The learning curve is good. Initially, there were no issues. As soon as the users saw the product, they understood what the product was. There wasn't any kind of training required for this product because it is very straightforward.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Assesses change impact or completes an audit using multiple dashboard views."

"By allowing end users to request their own services, the request process for systems is much quicker and more accurate."

"Integrates role-based access control with pre-configured policies for CIS, DISA, HIPAA, PCI, SOX, NIST, and SCAP documentation and remediation."

"It's helped us with our automation."

"You can tie together your public and private cloud infrastructure into a "single pane of glass"."

"Automates Java EE Application Deployment from an SCM system."

"We have many regions where more than 10000 servers are deployed, so it helps in patching and hardening of servers."

"CLM has a multi-cloud portal because they have the resources to implement in various environments in various ports."

More BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management pros

"We use the solution to automatically trigger processes to help us resolve issues. The whole IT process has been automated, such as trying to map all the users and the escalation process. So, if any issue happens, we get an SMS and WhatsApp of the report. If there is a critical issue this has to be sorted out, like the entire data center being down, then there is an alarm."

"Our response time is within 30 minutes for any support. This solution provides alerts immediately, so we are within our SLA, giving efficiency to our support."

"The most valuable feature is alerting. We get email alerts when a link is down that tell us which device is having a problem."

"If you are looking for the best product with the best price, Infraon is the best product."

"The feature that I like the most and the best part is the customization."

"Infraon IMS allows us to do several things from a single window, which is important to us."

"The backup, restore, and comparison features are all good."

"Being an engineering product, the customization is easy for us compared to SolarWinds and ManageEngine."

More Infraon IMS pros

Cons

"It was complex as it does not include a good, extensive feasibility and compatibility guide."

"The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy."

"Going to BMC for PS is not at all recommended from my experience."

"One of the major problems is that support is not so good."

"Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."

"This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets. There are GDPR and other requirements that might require country-specific sensitive information to be filtered as well as other things that need to be taken care of. Normally, if we need to do any compliance, like ISO27000 compliance, they don't have such a report within their system. This kind of report is missing from their SaaS. That is one of the reasons that we have gone to the on-prem version, where I am assured that my data is secure."

"There might be some features in other products that are currently not there in Everest IMS and can be included. I have not yet compared it with any other product."

"The graphical view of the topology does not show us all of the connectivity in our network, which is something that could be improved."

"Technical support could use some improvement in terms of their response times and diagnostic accuracy."

"Email support is a bit slow. Once you drop an email, it takes time."

"I would like to see an integrated view of Infraon IMS and Infraon Desk. It would be very helpful if that were integrated into the solution."

"This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets."

"I would like to have the option to add a new device or meet with the next release. Right now, it needs to be done from the backend which results in a heavy reliance on R&D."

More Infraon IMS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"We pay for a number of devices on the accounts and since it is on-premises, we pay the maintenance charges for the year."

"I think that the pricing for this solution is reasonable and varies by number of devices."

"The pricing is reasonable, given the features that they provide."

"If you are looking for the best product with the best price, Infraon is the best product. We evaluated five to six products and finally felt Infraon was better because of the pricing model, especially because it was more flexible."

"Licensing is calculated on a per-user basis."

"The cost model is within our budget. I have less than 180 critical assets, but the moment that I have 1,000 assets, then the license model is totally different. I don't know whether they are capable of handling that kind of a load. They could revisit the licensing model."
