What do you dislike about OpenText Service Management Automation X (SMAX)?

If SM service broken, it cant automatically report about that problem. And sometimes SM cant restart its own process.

Also SM must have deep tunings according to business process, and out of the box version not work properly. However that situation helps integrators for take money from implementation. For example +40 java scripts, +4 web interfaces, + 10 paper processes, +3 integration will take about one year/1 person or half year/3 persons, if that peoples already have experience and already have finished scripts, so that time need to construct processes, some adaptation and test the solution. If do work just after completing courses then it takes much more time, for example, 3-5 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Service Management Automation X (SMAX)?

Interface is quite counterintuitive and bulky

Many bugs noticed, not sure if it's because of the customizations done by the vendor but the Change Management process stuck at stages for unknown reasons and the help desk team has to click on each request to activate.

Upon session expiry, when you logs-in back the system doesn't take you back to the page you were at.
