    Alternatives Considered
    BMC Software Inc.
    The number of workflows, escalations, processes built in the out of the box Remedy is outstanding. Trying to mimic/customize an open source, or even Remedyforce would cost more than implementing a vanilla Remedy. We reviewed ServiceNow but we felt that in terms of an end-to-end implementation tool, Remedy is still first in class.
