Some cautions include poor customer satisfaction with FootPrints, a lack of promotion for Remedyforce and an inability to increase Remedy’s “mind share” with clients. This year, Gartner did not name any visionaries, since most companies on the list innovated “outside the scope of ITSM tools.” Gartner categorizes these ITSM suites as leaders, which are at the top of the market and well-developed challengers, which are products that stand to edge out leaders niche players, which are companies that typically offer only one suite to meet a specific need and visionaries, which are innovative vendors. Gartner’s analysis also helps match ITSM tools to your organizational infrastructure and operations (I&O) maturity. To help you choose a suite aligned with your needs, technology research firm Gartner offers a “magic quadrant” of ITSM suites, ranking ITSM vendors as basic, intermediate or advanced based on included ITSM capabilities and how well a given ITSM tool integrates with other IT operations management (ITOM) solutions. There are over 100 tools that claim to support ITSM, only some are certified.

ITSM tools are typically offered in suites, packaging multiple services and software to support as many aspects of IT management as possible. While ITSM does not focus on hardware, network or systems per se, there are plenty of ITSM tools to help your organization support ITSM processes, including ticketing, service, incidents and any upgrades, changes or problems. ITSM offers various frameworks for businesses to create management standards around IT services and customer service practices, and to help businesses build structure around the lifecycle of IT services, from creation to management and upkeep. Organizations looking to codify IT management in service of business needs often turn to IT service management (ITSM), a set of policies, processes and procedures for managing customer-oriented IT services.
