    When our client wants to host email onsite, not in the cloud, our go-to is GFI Systems MailEssentials. You can set up allowed or blocked emails based on many parameters. The quarantine feature is easy to manage. Sometimes it "catches" too many emails. Easy to fix, though! GFI Systems LanGuard is so comprehensive that initial scans take forever to run! But it is so comprehensive that it catches *everything*! Not just viruses, and lack of updates--it catches things in the endpoint's registry. And provides the full information on the endpoint in order to identify and fix it. Thanks, guys for great products!

    Small deployments, where you have some specific need for ServiceMax and absolutely need offline capabilities, and are willing to deal with the problems. Otherwise, you may be better off looking at the built-in Work Orders and field service module that Salesforce is now providing. Their app is direct competition for ServiceMax and integrates much better with cases and knowledge articles.

    Pros
    Gfi Systems
    • Security is their main focus and they do an excellent job providing users the ability to use all tools in one product.
    • Their reports are very detailed and have the option to auto email key people with executive reports to keep track of vulnerabilities and patch status.
    • Keeping costs low, no other company could offer as much as they do for everything they offer.

    Cons
    Gfi Systems
    • GFI Systems MailEssentials would be nice to have the possibility to block emails from overseas. Make that customizable, too!
    • Have a "lite" version of GFI Systems LanGuard so we can do a quick check, if we would like to
    • How about a special "partner" phone number for support? One where a partner can access support more quickly?

    ServiceMax
    • Dispatch console seems slow and the data is more of a pull than a push into the database.
    • It seems to be a Ferrari and takes a lot of labor hours to configure.
    • Still does not integrate with Apple's products very well.

    The Support zteam for GFI was with us all the way through, and I believe that they had the best support team of all the products that we use and/or tested.

    Engaged account management. Support is based worldwide but handoffs have not been too painful.

    ServiceMax has an offline capability, and also integrates with our Salesforce side of business. At the time, Salesforce did not have a field service application so we could not consider it, but if we could now, we would probably go with that instead. ServiceMax is also expensive. But at the time, ServiceMax was the only offering out there that integrated with Salesforce, had mobile offline capability, and could operate at the scale we needed.

    Return on Investment
    Gfi Systems
    • GFI Systems does save us a lot of time and makes it very convenient to manage clients. Remote access usually works well.
    • For our business GFI Systems is a bit expensive. The total cost is like hiring a full time employee.
    • It would be nice if the backup function was more robust and better thought out. Until then, we are seeking another service for our client's backup needs.

    ServiceMax
    • ROI for ServiceMax is mostly dependent on how in depth the organization wants the software. Our ROI is expected within the second year of operation due to the complexity of integration and the initial training requirements for in-house programmers.
    • Inventory control ROI is expected within year three or four due to the number of technicians and creating the foundation of information to import into ServiceMax. Expectations are the front end programming will be complete and our programmers will be better acquainted with the modules and architecture to make the inventory integration smoother than the initial integration.
    • Our organization has been working with ServiceMax for ten months and beginning to incorporate the financials to the work orders. This process has not been as seamless as once projected and the root causes are under investigation. It appears the original fields available to track time between employees were not in depth nor segregated sufficiently for granularity.
