The ITSM Upgrade pipeline is very fragile. Every upgrade we find a litany of new issues that will cripple the process. When upgrades fail there is no support to recover... you must restore from backup before upgrade processes began. I can't think of any organization large enough to pay the licensing fees... on top of the support and infrastructure costs that would be okay with losing hours of data in a production environment... oh yeah did I mention that upgrading... even a subset of the total ITSM suite of products can take upwards of 8 hours? Brutal.
