Ameet Darole - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers automation, orchestration, service level management but lacks AI-based rules
BMC Helix is the upgraded version and incorporates many new ways of working for service operations. It's a significant improvement. Helix offers analytics, AI-based rules, a smart digital console, and workflow management. Remedy doesn't have these features. That's a significant difference. BMC Helix seems to be a strong competitor to ServiceNow, while Remedy wasn't at the same level.
Abdul  Hakim - PeerSpot reviewer
Helpful smart automation and tracking that can be used with minimal adjustments
This is a recording system, and it's an automation system. It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed. The focus is on test management. Everything can be tracked from asset management. Asset management offers many facilities. It doesn't require additional training for ManageEngine or technicians. Assets are simply reported from the dashboard, indicating where IT is missing, where compliance is mentioned, or where action is needed, with driver updates. All facilities are available in the enterprise edition, allowing users, customers, or any organization to easily obtain their referred insights. Anyone can easily install it. There are no handbells. An app provides instructions, with documentation available. Sometimes, IT issues arise like fraud blocking or service-related problems. Upon facing an issue, feedback is integrated, and the solution is provided from their end. This is a very IT-friendly solution. We get LiveSat and IT management. Facilities are accessible, like exporting the installation folder, making the migration process easy. Failover or redundancy can occur within two to five hours, making it scalable. This is a very stable solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The discovery feature of BMC Remedy has been very valuable."
"The incident management console is available out of the box."
"BMC Remedy is very stable and scalable, making it a valuable tool for our support team."
"It's an exceptionally robust and seamlessly integrated solution that has greatly facilitated our operations."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of BMC Remedy are its ease of use, ease of installation, and customization capabilities."
"You can develop plugins in different languages, and the workflows can be easily developed depending on the user's needs."
"The most valuable feature of BMC Remedy is to take administrative access of a user."
"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."
"In my opinion, it is the MDM; patch management and deployment are the valuable features."
"This is a very stable solution."
"It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed."
"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."
"The technical support is great."
"The ability to define custom templates for asset management helps track assets, budgets, warranties, and expiries effectively."
"The auto-discovery feature has helped us a lot."
 

Cons

"The UI is quite outdated."
"There are issues from a product functionality perspective."
"The solution must be flexible."
"The interface is obsolete."
"The upgrade process could be better. It would be a good improvement."
"Could be more user friendly for admins to manage."
"Integration and deployment could be better. It could be easier and faster to integrate and deploy. It would also help if we could have a 360-degree view. It would be better if they changed it to a SaaS type of offering, which is becoming the standard."
"The solution is very expensive."
"I hope it includes barcode features, as barcode scanning and MacAdes cannot currently be mapped with this field."
"I would love to see a digital adoption feature or guide that navigates first-time users through the application, as it is quite complex with many relevant and irrelevant elements."
"The engineering area needs improvement."
"The asset management tool is costly."
"It would be helpful if there were a premium technician license that includes all the suites, eliminating the need to buy separate licenses for each feature."
"The assets that can be discovered are pretty easy to manage, but there should be a better way to manage non-discoverable assets. Our development team works on bots and tests particular hardware. They have got different varieties of hardware. They want a feature for managing these assets within a warehouse kind of environment. For example, our IT has received 100 items, and they have assigned these items as a bulk unit to a project manager. The project manager further wants to distribute these items within his or her team. Instead of maintaining a separate Excel sheet, the project manager should be able to reallocate these items from within the tool so that we have hierarchical entities for the same unit."
"I would love to see a digital adoption feature or guide that navigates first-time users through the application, as it is quite complex with many relevant and irrelevant elements."
"It requires some development to be better, more comfortable, and usable, enhancing customer satisfaction."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"It is an expensive tool."
"The product is costly. On one to ten points, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product's price as nine."
"The tool is expensive."
"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."
"The pricing is in-between. It's not too cheap, and it's not too expensive. For a large organization, it's worth it. But for a smaller one, it might be a bit costly."
"Its price is reasonable, but I wish it was lower."
