Insights & updates from our experts
Industry analyst The ITSM Review did something really clever recently to find out whether ITSM tool vendors are aligned with their customers. To find out, they asked 19 different tool vendors how customizable their ITSM software is. Then they asked customers how they would rate their ability to customize these 19 different ITSM products.
The results are really interesting. You can read through them by going to the ITSM Tools Universe Preview: How aligned are ITSM tool vendors to their customers? People also left some great comments there that are worth reading.
Of course we are happy to see that Xurrent came out on top. It means that the effort we put into listening to our customers, especially at the annual customer advisory board meeting, is paying off.
Most of you are already aware that our philosophy is different from other ITSM tool vendors. We don’t just tell customers that they can customize everything. Instead we make sure that, as much as possible, the product supports multinational enterprises out-of-the-box. Where necessary, we have made sure that Xurrent can be customized and that our customers do not need to rely on consultants to do this for them.
Following this survey we added some extra features to increase Xurrent’s flexibility. And you will be pleased to hear that we are already working on a few more options to extend Xurrent’s configuration capabilities even further.

An AI SRE that knows your incidents
Most AI SREs are pattern matchers trained on public data. They know what a memory leak looks like in the abstract. They don't know that your payments-api has a flaky liveness probe everyone ignores, that the checkout team owns the retry policy, or that the last three "database incidents" were actually cache misconfigurations. That knowledge lives in your postmortems, your Slack channels, and the heads of two senior engineers.

How Long Should ITSM Implementation Really Take in 2026?
Most vendors will tell you ITSM implementation takes six months to a year — but modern, configuration-first platforms have rewritten the math entirely. See what real implementations look like in 2026, and why a long rollout is now a choice, not a given.
