I was called to task for venturing an opinion without substantiating it. 
This was a reasonable criticism so here are some of my reasons for my TMS 
preference.

RMM con:
RMM lack of  retained customer fields, eg vendor id
Lack of ?inq? function ? ease of clist mitigates somewhat
Lack of report writer ? sort more cumbersome
Different rmm states can make scratching and init tape a pblm
IBM tries to change std, eg add accode leave out  expdt 
More parochial  perspective, eg product and owner concept
RMM Storage location/shelves more confusing than tms vaulting
Less knowledge base in the industry
Problem support has gotten "better"



RMM pro:
Include with os
Better planned maintenance
Better doc?m
Lots of sort support
Clist variable support
Quicker os and tape drive support



TMS pro:
Stability & functionality of age
Since it was the only/best game in town for so long, it?s the  standard
?better? reporting (arguably)
Good problem support


TMS con:
Yet another product to add. Usually another smp zone
?slight? lag in new products
