Senior Application Developer BMC at Balfour Beatty
Self-service portal significantly reduces resolution time and transforms service process with advanced features
We initially had a lot of tickets generated via the service desk through calls and emails. Now, we have almost moved out of email creations by introducing the DWP features on the Studio pages, with about 90% of the tickets coming in via our self-service portal. Recent upgrades offer different types of views for particular business lines, which was missing earlier. The new landing pages have allowed us to add banners, images, and internal videos, encouraging most customers to use these DWP self-service features. Resolution time has decreased significantly since implementing the self-service portal. Additionally, the availability of knowledge articles, chatbots, and the new Helix GPT feature has improved service processes.

Stable, easy to install, and cost effective, but it needs better integration and data management
It needs better integration with other tools like Jira. Better reporting and better data management are also needed. I believe the way they're structured is the flat file. So it'd be better if they actually used a database for the data storage, and a more robust portal. I would like more flexible reporting.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Since 8.1 is compatible with the ADDM discovery tool, we automated discovery and mapping of assets (CIs) and their relationships migration to the CMDB."
"The valuable feature for me is that it's a tool that allows me to track processes right from the initial user request."
"The ease of installation and configuration is valuable."
"BMC Remedy ITSM application solution is one of the best solutions in the market."
"It’s a great product, I would highly recommend it."
"The digital workplace is appealing."
"From what I've read BMC Helix ITSM has a lot of features and far more than the CA Service Desk."
"I would recommend this solution because it includes all the best practices of ITIL and ITSM used across the industry."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
"It is more flexible than our current solution."
"Absolutely, we have seen a return on our investment."
 

Cons

"Needs less infrastructure requirements."
"I have customers that always would like to adapt and personalize BMC Helix ITSM more."
"On the Administration activity to be more user friendly in terms of capturing logs also more features to be included in development activity."
"The reports need improvement, it is not a good functioning tool."
"I would also love to see consistency across all consoles."
"The User Interface still has the appearance of being clunky and not user friendly."
"Certain features can be improved. We find ourselves having to make a lot of customizations to make things work for us."
"Adding additional fields does not work very well."
"Yes. Major system issues and outages during our implementation."
"It's a very cost-effective solution, but it's not robust."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is costly, but it is well worth it."
"The solution's pricing should come down."
"It's a yearly subscription but there are a couple of customers who go for the monthly subscription."
"It is too expensive for a small business."
"It is not very expensive and not very cheap. It is somewhere in-between. Some of the features are more expensive. There are also additional costs. If you want to use most of the features, you need to pay more."
"I am not sure the exact price we pay for the solution but I know it is in the high seven-figure amount annually."
"Just make sure you really sit down and look at what you will be using per user, therefore you will not be surprised with a big bill. You do not want every user having every license, it really is not needed."
"Please always get the latest quote from a BMC partner or from BMC. Check for the latest offerings."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
