Review
Elevator Pitch | Fully functional ITSM and self service capability. Product looks good and is simple to manage and maintain. Ticks the boxes for functionality, positioning (ITSM and Front end) and vendor approach. |
Industry areas | Mid market upwards. Organisations that want to be self-sufficient and to be able to control their own technology. Flexible and function rich – self service is well designed for user engagement. |
Unique points |
|
Target market | Large SME – Mid sized and large Enterprise market – in-house IT and back office services. |
Solutions/ issues solved | Provides an engaging UX for customers. Simple to use and administer. Well integrated with other tools and platforms (e.g. Microsoft). |
Product/vendor gaps | Product doesn’t handle multi-tenancy easily. Vendor still relatively small and growing – partner base recently tripled. |
Positives |
|
Negatives |
|
Overall view | Good all round solution, Vendor’s challenge is squeezed between low end low cost offerings – which it beats on quality and functionality – and high end ‘big 5’, where it can’t compete in corporate terms, but can on usability and self-sufficiency. Cherwell in top area of the mid-size tier 2 market and now potentially challenging the large enterprise vendors. |
