IFS Assyst vs. Tivoli Asset Management for IT (Discontinued)

Axios assyst is for organisations that want to improve and automate processes.

Tivoli Asset Management for IT can be used very well in a big datacenter to easily manage assets. For linear assets there are other Tivoli Asset Manager products available such as for transportation domain, oil and gas. For a small scale industry, Tivoli Asset management solution is not a big help.

Incentivized

• It was a low cost solution
• The service catalog is an ITIL compatible format

Incentivized

• The first and foremost is Tivoli Asset Management has a rich set of software catalogs available in the market. On top of it IBM, publishes the latest and greatest often to add/include in the catalog bucket.
• Easy to integrate with any asset management solution.
• Can take benefit of all asset module solutions such as procurement, invoicing, PO, receivables, asset lifecyle, vendor and contract management using Tivoli Asset Management.

Incentivized

• Like many other ITSM tools, built-in reports are limited; third party reporting tool such as Microsoft SQL need to be used.
• Axios service desk does not offer much help, our internal technical people know more than their support analysts.

• Software bundling can be handled in a better way
• Should eliminate rotating/non-rotating items concepts or should have an easy way to receive assets
• Asset Topology can be introduced to see the dependencies between related assets

Incentivized

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

Incentivized

We thought SDE was bad, we were looking for an alternative. Assyst is worse. We thought ServiceNow was too expensive. We were wrong. RightAnswers is a reaaly good tool but only for KM.

Incentivized

Tivoli Asset Management is comparatively cheap and easy to implement with a rich set of complementing modules. It can also be integrated easily with other asset management solutions and act as a single source of truth for other PMP processes

Incentivized

• Integration with other enterprise systems
