Excellent Application from a Great Vendor
I have been very happy with the selection of Hornbill, both from a product and a company perspective. The product is developed at a healthy pace with new features implemented regularly. The product has been easy to use and configure.
PROSI liked how intuitive the product is to use. There is no steep learning curve allowing you to get off the ground quickly with a very sophisticated implementation. Key for me is the ability to configure everything myself and be completely self-sufficient while knowing that help is close at hand whether through the excellent user forum or via the customer success team. The pace of development is good and I really appreciate the ability to give input to feature requests via the user forum.
CONSDynamic reporting capabilities - While there are several layers of reporting within Hornbill including several types of dashboarding, list reports, measures etc I would still like to see this area of the tool improved upon. The My Dashboards functionality is excellent for day to day individual reporting but I felt it necessary to use Power BI when I wanted to really dig deep with the flexibility to dynamically pivot based on any criteria I defined.
Reason for choosing Hornbill
Three key reasons, 1. I really liked the fresh look and feel of the product. I felt that the product was more innovative than other products and had a distinct approach which separated it from its competitors. 2. I felt that Hornbill gave us the best opportunity for self-sufficiency. Avoiding high consultancy costs was something that high on my agenda. I wanted to be in control of all configuration safe in the knowledge that help was close by, IF I needed it. 3. I was impressed with Hornbill as a company. Their transparency about the product's capabilities was refreshing and I felt that they were someone I could really partner with and have input to the products development.
Reasons for switching to Hornbill
Harmonization across multiple departments globally.

Hornbill Service Manager
Excellent, good support and help with setup Business Processes and Progressive Captures. We use it on a daily basis for all IT support tickets firmwide.
PROSRelative ease of setup with good support from Hornbill during the setup. A lot can be customized.
CONSJust minor things but that is due to our many offices with different languages.
Reason for choosing Hornbill
The features it offered for the price, as we really use the product for a specific task and Hornbill has modules so you'll only pay for what you use.
Reasons for switching to Hornbill
We needed a firmwide solution, there were different products in place in the firm and we wanted a single firmwide solution.

Easy to customise to your requirement
Good overall experience in designing the back end, and implementing most of our ITIL Process within IT department and the business as a whole.
PROSEasy to customise to follow our processes, and be able to use it beyond IT Service (provide Enterprise service to other department in the organisation).
CONSLimitation in some features. Not be able to correct a wrong BPM once the ticket is resolved. Not being able to localise changes
Reason for choosing Hornbill
Price difference Easy customisation Customer service provided by Hornbill Potential of expanding the use of Hornbill beyond IT
Reasons for switching to Hornbill
End of service and requirement to upgrade to a more expensive version

Easily built, easily used
Very positive, a helpful company who actively listen to their customers in relation to build improvements and new features. An easy to use system which feels intuitive and can be used in a myriad of ways.
PROSI like that we can build, edit, and move the system ourselves without having to rely on a company/IT team to do any necessary changes for us. I like the system can grow with us, and we can continue to add services and categories as necessary.
CONSI dislike the report, widgets, and dashboard functionality immensely. I find it very clunky and cumbersome to pull meaningful graphics out of the system due to not being confident or comfortable with the coding requirements to link tables and such.
Reasons for switching to Hornbill
To have a customer facing self service portal.

Hornbill Service Manager
Hornbill has broadened our horizons of the possibilities. This is particularly the case with automation of processes eg starters/movers/leavers, Sev1's, MI's and other business area processes There are other paid-for and free modules which enable further integration such as Document Manager, Asset Management, Supplier Manager, Project Manager etc.
PROSEasy to use and configure. Workflow interface is extremely good. There feels to be a real energy with Hornbill to develop and move the product forwards. They are building ITOM (IT Operations Management) for further automation within customer's infrastructure (on-prem) as well as Cloud. The Customers' Forum is very active and responses from Hornbill are generally quick and very knowledgeable.
CONSA number of updates are currently causing issues the next day. Hopefully that will improve soon. Trying to get enhancements accepted can be tricky but to be fair that is the same with any provider - generally we have found it easier to have our voice heard than with the very large providers. Reporting can take a while to sort but in a complex system that is not unusual - you don't need coding skills but knowledge of SQL expressions/structure is useful. Migration from Zendesk for all our historic tickets was very painful - we had over 100,000 and this has taken months to complete.
Reason for choosing Hornbill
Fixed pricing for life.We felt a valued customer. Ease of use of product. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is a real techie and continues to be very active and engaged with the product.We have never felt that Hornbill was pushing us down an expensive 'extra paid consultancy' route. They pride themselves on customers being able to self build etc.
Reasons for switching to Hornbill
No longer suited our business requirements. Lack of options for automation and poor user/developer interface. The product was not heading in the right direction for us.
