    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.

    HP Service Manager (HPSM) is well suited for a big company and it does the job that it's intended to do but it's not perfect. It has a fairly large learning curve for searching Knowledge Management (KMs) and it takes time to learn how to be fast at creating/resolving tickets while on calls. I have been using HPSM for about 2 years now and we recently moved from the desk client to the web client and we are seeing a lot more issues than we did with the desk client. They keep coming out with updates for it so eventually most of our issues will hopefully be resolved. Overall the web experience is better as it looks more modern than what we used in the past.

    • Capacity management like maintaining CI's and their relations is good.
    • Approvals with HPSM is a cake walk and quite logical.
    • There is no wait for troubleshooting or help, HPSM tech help is always there.

    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.

    • When you search Knowledge Articles, it is not like Google, and you need to learn how to search for what you need.
    • It takes a very long time to close tickets in HPSM. Here are the steps to close a ticket. 1. Add notes. 2. Add KM 3. Click Resolve 4.Click Save 5.Click Close 6.Click Okay to Message (ticket has recently been modified) 7. Click Close.
    • It's slow and sometimes crashes/freezes and you lose all the information you may have entered. I usually use notepad++ to gather all my notes and paste them into HPSM.
    • When searching previous tickets the preview pane does not allow for sorting by date to have the most recent at the very top every time you pull up previous tickets. Sometimes there are pages and pages of previous tickets and you have to click and scroll to get what you need.
    • I click on search KMs and it takes me to a blank page and I have to click the back button which then brings me to the search KM page.

    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.

    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 take anywhere from between 850-1400 calls a day and overall the whole opening tickets to close process goes pretty smoothly.
