We just started using it extensively. I've customized it to sync with
our ARS [Remedy] and SEM infrastructures. I deployed it specifically
for the RTIR functionality. It's workflow is a perfect fit for
Incident Management in network-security environments (IMO).

It can be a little tricky if you're not familiar with how the custom
fields and API works, but nothing that the wiki and RT Essentials book
couldn't handle...

I've been using it since it's early, and somewhat buggy, days. I
find it invaluable for both tracking incidents and quickly pulling
out metrics when management wants a report. If you decide to use it,
then you should learn how to use the CLI. It will make migrating
much easier.

are using it, we'd appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Based on a survey conducted by H. Morrow Long about 2 years ago,
28% of respondents were using RT, and 10% were using RT-IR. Since
RT-IR was enhanced significantly around that time, I wonder if
anyone has migrated to it in the past two years.

Thanks in advance!
