Digital platform provides stable and valuable support for technical staff
The digital place is very interesting for users, and Smart IT is a very good platform for our technical staff. BMC Remedy is very stable and operational, with users being highly accustomed to using it. It is very stable and scalable, making it a valuable tool for our support team.

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.

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"It had automation, orchestration, service level management, and event management. You could also integrate it for auto-remediation."
"The service management features are beneficial – very good."
"It's an exceptionally robust and seamlessly integrated solution that has greatly facilitated our operations."
"It is a stable solution."
"BMC Remedy Asset Management is pretty easy for quite a lot of functions."
"The incident management console is available out of the box."
"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."
"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."
"ManageEngine IT Asset Management helps with guarantee and warranty period management, license expiration tracking, device patches, and integration with our finance system for depreciation and invoicing."
"As far as IT Asset Management is concerned, I would rate it at ten out of ten."
"The auto-discovery feature has helped us a lot."
"This is a very stable solution."
"The technical support is great."
"It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed."
 

Cons

"The tool can be expensive for mid-market businesses, making it an area that can be considered for improvement by BMC Remedy."
"There is room for improvement regarding the customization as it tends to lag in terms of flexibility, particularly in comparison to competitors."
"The UI is quite outdated."
"The interface is obsolete."
"The solution must be flexible."
"One area that requires improvement is the prevention of duplicates or data inconsistencies in the system."
"Continuous improvement is recommended."
"BMC Remedy Asset Management could improve by adding intuitive dashboards."
"It requires some development to be better, more comfortable, and usable, enhancing customer satisfaction."
"I hope it includes barcode features, as barcode scanning and MacAdes cannot currently be mapped with this field."
"The asset management tool is costly."
"Responses from ManageEngine should be faster."
"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."
"The engineering area needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Remedy is worth its price."
"The tool is expensive."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."
"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 pricing is on the expensive side."
"Its price is reasonable, but I wish it was lower."
