**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 01, 2015

**What do you like best about BMC FootPrints?**

When possible, the use of templates has been implemented.  I make use of these to save time and keep ticket documentation consistent.  

Built in reporting functions.
Saved personal and public searches, this feature is used daily.
Auto lookup fields for user information.
Reliable online time and consistent performance during save functions and runing reports.

**What do you dislike about BMC FootPrints?**

The search function could be improved.  There are times when I'm searching for a past ticket that I know exists but I may not know the contact name.  The keyword search could use some improvement as it doesn't always find the expected results.  

I'm not sure if this is a feature that's disabled by my organization but the ability to email the ticket submitter directly from the ticket would be beneficial. 

**Recommendations to others considering BMC FootPrints:**

BMC FootPrints has the most features and is the most intuitive of all the ticketing systems I've used.

**What problems is BMC FootPrints solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Issue Reporting.
Problem tracking.  
Team assignments.
  
  These problems are helped by the BMC FootPrints ticketing system.  BMC FootPrints makes it easy to access historical issue information to refer back to and research a trend.  For an organization with multiple IT teams tickets are easily escalated using the ticketing system.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2015

**What do you like best about BMC FootPrints?**

I like the ability of email alerts.  I do not have to be logged in to see when a ticket comes in.  I am able to manage the full ticket lifecycle directlyl through email.  Thsi comes in quite handy when you are on the road and do not have easy access to the full interface.

The interface itself can be a bit slow to load, however it is fully customizable which can lead to improvements in speed.

Give it a try.  The software meets our needs.  Being able to use email as a mechancism for creating and managing support tickets is a huge advantage that not a lot of other providers offer.

We are using Footprints as our support ticket system.  This allows us to track and report on issues efficiently.
