Overall Satisfaction with 4me.com

We are using 4me.com as a tool for IT service desk, IT asset lifecycle management. As we switched recently to 4me.com we witnessed to improvement in specialist oriented frontend which is easy to use, really responsive and intuitive. Tool has great and easy to use import-export mechanism for updating almost everything. As tool provides automation capability for anyone it is really helpful quality assurance environment which is delivered altogether with product. There you can test and automate IT processes to be easier for end users.
  • IT processes automation
  • Responsive GUI
  • Weekly updates which pinpoint some difficulties in daily usage
  • It is easy to do first deployment in wrong direction - maybe there should be better guidance how to setup services/service instances to properly work at the end.
  • Reporting is based on predefined templates - to get most of them you have to properly implement services in IT - it is not an easy process
  • Integration with O365 for out of office would be helpfull
  • Transparency, audit capability is really good
  • Responsiveness of GUI
  • Easy to deploy custom processes
  • As we are finance institution we are strictly regulated so this product helps us in many fields to satisfy regulatory requests through easy workflow management setup.
  • Product is easy to implement, easy to adopt so we use it in different segments of business (central purchase department, security office, IT department) for tracking and standardising various processes in each niche.

Great visibility of asset assignment to user but not so good if you track also assignment of user rights through CI for users. It would be nice if you can group types of assets/configuration items to user not to show everything mixed up.
There is great options to adopt product to your particular needs, there are options for adding some special fields in process automation to help to have tailored process from enduser fill in forms to complex workflow which utilises various specialists

Lots to learn
  • Workflows for change management with approvals and communication with enduser
  • Automated translation of forms is included, even for Croatian!
  • Asset management
  • There should be some improvement in email filtering because specialist and change managers get a lot of emails for complex workflows, so it is easy to overlook some important message.
  • great feature is sending emails from requests (to external vendors) but there luck feature to continue conversation over email client (instead through 4me.com GUI)
Yes - It does their job. Noting special, but you can approve things (most valuable) have a look on status...This interface is not specialist oriented so you have to use desktop interface which is great and improved with each weekly update.
