I might also add that we are now planning a project to convert our
Remedy tickets to RT and move the help desk over. We have RT 3.6.4, not
nearly as robust as 3.8.2, and there are just too many flexible
options for reporting with Custom Fields to NOT use RT.<br>

That's our small-companiness showing. The problem is really that we
don't spend much, if any time on the marketing side of things. This is
probably obvious by the state of the corporate website. That prose
dates from...sometime around 2002 or so, when RT really wasn't in use in
a whole lot of high-volume applications.
At the time, I would have blanched if you'd said you wanted to deploy
RT somewhere handling 1000 tickets a day. These days, I know of
organizations pushing 10,000 tickets through RT on a slow day, bursting
to over 20,000 when things get busy.

You should know that I'm biased, but I certainly don't think so. RT is
robust and scalable and there's an excellent community here and on
rt-devel....And of course, we at Best Practical can provide the sort of
commercial support you'd expect for a mission critical application.
Best,
Jesse
