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.

User-friendly modules impress with customization options while IT knowledge base updates remain incomplete
It's a vast product, and we use ManageEngine IT Asset Management because it has an Ops Manager, Event Viewer, Site 24/7, PAM360, and AD Manager among many options that we plan to explore in the future environment. ManageEngine IT Asset Management explores detailed aspects such as RAM frequency, RAM brand, product, expiry date, users, roles, technicians, groups, support groups, Active Directory, SAML, single sign-on, LDAP, Microsoft Entra ID, proxy settings, and template forms. We are satisfied with the product because each module is user-friendly, and we can customize it based on our organization's requirements. We are looking into the automated IT asset discovery feature. We have configured the incoming and outgoing mail server so that when users send an email to our standardized mail ID, it automatically creates a ticket. In the future, we will explore automation features such as SLA, KPI, and KRA to align targets, manage resources, assess project utilization, and assign tickets based on priority levels.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The customer support is great, maybe that's because I'm with a big client."
"The incident management console is available out of the box."
"The asset discovery feature in BMC is notably better compared to ServiceNow."
"The tool's automation features are fully capable, especially for IT automation. The asset management capabilities meet expectations."
"The solution helps to manage the operational flow in our organization."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is a stable solution."
"It had automation, orchestration, service level management, and event management. You could also integrate it for auto-remediation."
"This is a very stable solution."
"The technical support is great."
"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."
"It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed."
"As far as IT Asset Management is concerned, I would rate it at ten out of ten."
"We are satisfied with the product because each module is user-friendly, and we can customize it based on our organization's requirements."
"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."

Cons

"The interface is obsolete."
"The UI is quite outdated."
"I would like to have more customized reporting because the management team loves customized reports with graphs."
"If we migrate to the cloud, the Software as a Service version's price is very high. The return on investment is very small in our case."
"Could be more user friendly for admins to manage."
"Continuous improvement is recommended."
"One area that requires improvement is the prevention of duplicates or data inconsistencies in the system."
"However, from a stability perspective, we sometimes had issues, like running out of resources, maxing out, database issues, and the server freezing out and functioning at fifty percent."
"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."
"The engineering area needs improvement."
"The asset management tool is costly compared to other tools in the market."
"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 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 asset management tool is costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"BMC Remedy is worth its price."
"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."
"The tool is expensive."
"It is an expensive tool."
"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"Its price is reasonable, but I wish it was lower."
