Pros
"Technical support is pretty good.""We can have all our requests and incidents registered in one system.""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 can adapt to any process in the organization.""Service Manager's best features are flexibility and customizability.""Micro Focus Service Manager is fine. It's a good solution for small accounts with minimal reporting. Micro Focus is a good option because you don't have to worry about the budget.""It's mostly so reliable and has a lot of functionality. We're using a lot of HPE tools and we can do a lot with it. So, its functionality is the most valuable feature.""Service Manager does what it should, but it's quite outdated."

The architecture, performance, and look are all way behind.""Pure cloud-based native functionality is lacking.""It needs good integration with the configuration database, that's lacking at the moment, It's not that good.""I don't see anything lacking.""The solution does not interface well with other products and is difficult to implement."
