I'd say Support is spotty, but I have had some very good experiences. But I feel the need to point out one problem: The last time we had one of these go-arounds about Support I said that when I fill out a satisfaction survey I always check the box that asks if I want someone to contact me about the ticket, but nobody ever does. Somebody from BMC (sorry I forget his name) called me and we discussed the issue and he assured me that things would change. But since then I have checked that box several more times, but nobody has ever called me.
