Pros / Cons
- The feature I like most about Cherwell is it's workflow management feature for IT change controls.
- There is not really a good way to track the ticket when it is submitted and does not alert you by email of the status.

- The live chat function improves user engagement by offering real-time assistance, and the deployment process, while requiring some initial setup effort, is well-documented and straightforward once familiar with the system.
- This new Cloud environment and Spaces UI feels like an abandoned project that the leadership team just has not been able to call a failure and rollback yet. Either finish it or nix it.
