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.

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

Pros

"The solution offers some very good features."
"The service management features are beneficial – very good."
"There are a lot of features a customer can use. It’s an existing concept of asset management. One feature is the ability to create tickets for various computer systems, VPN defenses, sites, regions, or customers."
"It has some good features for tracking. They also have a cloud and a mobile access feature."
"It had automation, orchestration, service level management, and event management. You could also integrate it for auto-remediation."
"This product is good because it allows us to receive proper responses to business emails anywhere and anytime. It helps in effective communication with employees. The solution is stable. The product is scalable. The initial setup is straightforward. I recommend BMC Remedy, especially for its automation capabilities."
"It includes features for automation, such as smart reporting capabilities."
"BMC Remedy Asset Management is pretty easy for quite a lot of functions."
"The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to have more customized reporting because the management team loves customized reports with graphs."
"Areas for improvement include lack of vision, lack of industry-specific solutions, limited workflows compared to ServiceNow, and being restricted to a purely IT perspective, which limits their addressable market."
"The tool can be expensive for mid-market businesses, making it an area that can be considered for improvement by BMC Remedy."
"BMC Remedy's change management module needs enhancement."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support."
"The tool's GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"The interface is obsolete."
"Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI."
"I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."
"There could be flexibility in terms of customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"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."
"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."
"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"The tool is expensive."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's pricing is a bit expensive."
"The product's cost is average."
"We have a regular license."
