Extending CMDB Tables

Hi William,

Great to have your opinion on the topic, something I haven't been able to conclude either way, for quite some time. To start with, I don't particularly agree to a table level licensing model unless the storage goes through the roof. You are only limiting the possibilities and innovation by adding one more constraint in the customization journey. At the same time, the CMDB doesn't cater to all niche domains and hence many of the companies may not be able to leverage the power of CMDB, but that doesn't give them a discount, does it? If anything, it takes them longer to define a data model that works for them at certain maturity level. 

 

I see your point, but one part of me tells me it is just fine. You have purchased a module, you are paying per user, so use it as you deem fit. If you are able to build and use the whole application by extending cmdb table, I give it you for making the most out of your available resources.😊
