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.

Good ticketing tool but limitations with integration
We use ManageEngine, but it's still pretty new and under development. We used SummitAI for about four years before switching to ManageEngine. There are specific features that were missing in SummitAI that we're hoping to find in ManageEngine. We were informed that ManageEngine was a new ticketing tool with modern and advanced analytics, which would be a better fit than SummitAI with its older engine. Firstly, ManageEngine allows detailed asset inventory per user. I, as a user, can store authentication details like which laptop and mobile I use, for all employees. Secondly, ManageEngine can handle patching, Windows updates, and pushing applications from the server to desktops. Finally, ManageEngine lets us do remote access directly through the tool.

Pros

"The most valuable BMC Remedy Asset Management are the dashboards and reports for the CIO."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The incident management console is available out of the box."
"The solution is extremely user-friendly."
"The solution offers some very good features."
"The customer support is great, maybe that's because I'm with a big client."
"The most valuable features of BMC Remedy are its ease of use, ease of installation, and customization capabilities."
"The service management features are beneficial – very good."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's chat box feature has reduced our service discount, and because it's intelligent, the responses that go out to the users have improved, and the resolutions are much faster."
"It was easy to access and fast. Our experience using it solely as a ticketing tool. We used fetch reports from the tool, particularly with regard to SLA tracking for our partners."
"The product has the best features for ITSM."
"The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement regarding the customization as it tends to lag in terms of flexibility, particularly in comparison to competitors."
"BMC Remedy could be improved by incorporating analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) modules."
"When it comes to CMDB, to be able to manage the data, you have to have Atrium integrator, another integrated tool."
"The desktop technicians face some challenges with the solution."
"The tool's GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It was hard to get reports unless by contacting the developer."
"The interface is obsolete."
"BMC works through intermediaries or vendors for support, so you don't always interact with BMC directly. The quality can vary depending on the specific vendor."
"Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."
"There could be flexibility in terms of customization."
"I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
"It is an expensive tool."
"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"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."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"The product's cost is average."
"We have a regular license."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's pricing is a bit expensive."
