Super straightforward implementation with this software. My company set it up without help from the vendor. We were able to use their installation guide. It might be truly designed for the ICT industry, however, it is easily adaptable for other clients in different industries.

I didn't even know there was competion with BMC Atrium CMDB. I have been in the tech industry for sixteen plus years and I have never seen another product accomplish the task that BMC Atrium CMDB performs on a daily basis. Also BMC Atrium CMDB has been around longer than anyother product which means it has been tested over time.

Return on Investment
BMC Software Inc.
  • Moving towards a fully chargeback model would help non-IT departments help curb their spend. However, a company needs to be fully mature in order to do this. Without an iron tight process, the CMDB will be quickly filled with garbage. It'll require experienced asset admins to continuously monitor the system.
