    I would suggest that in this product class, you get what you pay for. Although it is was sold as SAAS with a nearly 'plug and play' implementation, at least one full time highly trained admin is needed for ongoing support. I would advise a team implementation strategy.

    The reason why i would recommend Virima its because they offer most excellent SaaS solution which is bound to solve the most stringent IT assets and services management problems. Has a graphical representation for changes to provide better insights. Helps to monitor our network and enhance security highly. I love the support team they are very responsive and easy to reach at.

    At this point, we are stuck with it. We can't afford a change at this point.

    Axios assyst outperforms JIRA in every aspect, JIRA is a good job system but when it comes to complex processes and configuration management then JIRA is simply not the right system.

    Accessing and Managing Virima is easy. Great support team very responsive,but i would like to have more visibility into the product management space. Nevertheless its a considerable tool that does what it was deployed to do.
