    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.

    We run a large environment where managing agents and clients would be difficult, but this software doesn't require either. We use it a lot from our iPhones accessing the software from anywhere in the office and even from home.

    • Network discovery--with no agents to manage is great and its very fast
    • Reporting--custom reports, charts and PDFs; the software also emails monthly reports automatically
    • Users only see the data and menus they need, so no training needed and the UI is focused
    • No clients to install; we can use it from any browser and from our cell phones
    • Upgrades are done quickly; we've never needed to get involved, as they do it for us

    Cons
    IFS
    • Service requests, incident, problem, and change management
    • Knowledge mgmt is not-existent - the product uses a WIKI for it's own knowledge base.
    • Axios help desk does is not knowledgable and does not follow up on reported incidents
    • Training is incomplete - no real resources available except billable by the hour.

    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.
