Incident management is the most valuable because we're using it to manage tickets for an accounting system. With the reports that are available, it allows us to track and identify trends at the type and item level. It also helps us in managing the workload better than what we had in Remedy, which is what we were using before 2013.

I think the best recommendation to Micro Focus would be to increase awareness and the marketing for this product.

I think one area which is the most painful from my point of view is if you need to integrate a lot of the tools, and being able to make that a lot more seamless.

The solution does not interface well with other products and is difficult to implement.

With the new version moving toward the codeless configuration is good, but it's losing flexibility.

We aren't able to take emails that come in and turn them into tickets, especially when it comes to attachments. When an email has an attachment, like a screenshot, it is a very cumbersome process, and it does not work very well. I shouldn't have been paying technicians to cut and paste attachments from an email into the ticketing system. It should do that automatically. Other solutions are able to do that. This is something that needs to be improved. Test manager and knowledge management areas are probably amongst the worst parts of this solution. We try to use this solution for knowledge management, but it is not user-friendly. Therefore, it has limited ROI as you need to spend time to try and fully capitalize on the knowledge management system.

The greatest issue for us is to understand the roadmap. We want to know whether we should upgrade now or should we wait three months.

There's a lot of manual work, which is error prone and time consuming, in how the code gets transported from one system to the other.

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.
