Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Improved monitoring and performance management."

"We switched to the IBM tools for a short time and switched back, due to contract pricing."

"The most important features are batch reporting and the ability to create repositories, enabling automated analysis. These are valuable because they enable me to do automated analysis of trends over time and reduce the time for comparing performance between two periods to identify anomalies."

"Work for an overall solution. Competing product suites seem to serve the same functions, but it is the overall integration of all the products that meets our needs and makes this suite so beneficial to our business."

"The reports generated and the old statistics shown are really helpful."

"It is very stable. We have had no issues."

"The feature we find most useful is the consistent ability to create strategies across the products that allow for consistent foundations for the business processes and the ability to repetitively use them by different resources."

"The most important features are batch reporting and the ability to create repositories, enabling automated analysis, because they enable me to do automated analysis of trends over time and reduce the time for comparing performance between two periods to identify anomalies."

Cons
