    The IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog is most well suited for large companies. With large companies storing data for a long amount of time, this can be helpful to allow all team members to find documents with ease. It would be less appropriate for storage that is deleted very often or does not needs to be saved for long amounts of time.

    Cons
    IBM
    • I think an industry-specific data catalog service will be good.
    • Effective alignment of IBM consulting services and bringing in an Industry point of view will be great.
    • Effective reach out like roadshows, etc. will be good.

    • It is just simply too slow! The web interface requires patience, even when moving between tabs or menu choices. This is by far the biggest detracting element of MSP Manager.
    • Input customization -- I would like the settings pages to allow me to customize some input screens, especially the Ticket Entry window. The "Quick Ticket" entry is missing a few key items I want in a trouble ticket, and the full ticket entry window has numerous fields I never use or are always the same, and so it just takes more time and effort than is necessary.
    • Both the asset tracking and the knowledge base should be more robust and integrally tied into the RMM console, so that licenses, serial numbers, procedures, network data are quick and simple to access from either interface.

    The IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog is a great amount of storage for the price. It is easily accessed by all users in the company. It provides great search features and clear pathways to locate documents. This is great for the team and our client when needing access to a specific document.

    MSP Manager is a fully serviced paid option. Spiceworks is a free helpdesk. They both are very useful, but a company can just outgrow Spiceworks.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • The negative note: is that it needs to have a very secure cloud infrastructure and with its data well defined for integration with other databases.
    • The positive point: allows for quick data discoveries aiding a quick implementation of privacy programs.

    • We have had to spend time and resources to create our own reports, as MSP Manager does not have them.
    • Searching for a ticket requires scrolling, wasting time
