Good incident management and reporting, ease of access, and stability
Its performance can be improved. Sometimes, there is a performance issue, and it is a little slow and difficult on the usage side. It would be beneficial for us if there is a lighter version of this solution. There is also a limitation on the number of columns and memory for extracting a report, and this functionality can be improved. We would like to have better integration and UI in this solution. The user interface should be easy to navigate. Its integration with other tools, such as SharePoint or Jira, can also be improved, which would be beneficial for us. In terms of new features, there should also be a mobile version. The desktop version is available, but the mobile version is not available, which is one of the challenges that our team has. For users who work on Remedy and who raise the ticket, it would also be very beneficial to have some chatbot features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Reports have helped us to improve our IT processes. The main benefit is providing the right information to our decision makers."
"Initial setup is straightforward, and if you follow best practices, then future enhancements will be smoother."
"The solution is already aligned with the framework, so it is easy for us to proceed with any ISO 27K certification."
"What I have found to be the most valuable is that it offers the radius deployment package not only to the BMC cloud but also to the public cloud such as Azure."
"In general, for incident management, it's okay."
"We use the solution's Discovery tool to discover our assets, and we've used the ticketing tool for years."
"Initial, out-the-box setup was easy with no problems."
"The versatility and customizability of the product is what I like most."
"It is easy to set up."
"The main feature for us is incident management, as it assists me in knowing my assignments, because we have group assignments. When we go to the group assignment they can assign it to me there."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface"
"I like Cloud Neurons. Since it's a cloud version, it's much easier to enhance productivity because it collects all the information automatically."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"To raise any ticket, there are too many fields to be filled and it makes generating tickets very time-consuming."
"Needs to make customizable/configurable article templates in the Knowledge Management."
"The reports need improvement, it is not a good functioning tool."
"BMC Helix ITSM should improve its price."
"The amount of software issues are still too big, even considering the complexity of the tool."
"BMC Helix ITSM should have an easy-to-use user interface."
"There are plugins to the solution that have come onto the market, so the solution should also be updated in terms of administration to increase efficiency."
"In the next release, I would like to see AI used for classification or categorization."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM's support model is not very strong. You should buy professional services. Its self-service portal and survey are extremely lacking. You cannot customize it, and it doesn't look very good. The solution does not have a strong community."
"I have had to open a few support tickets with the HEAT Service Management. They are very good but there are some areas that they could improve on."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of BMC Helix ITSM could improve their price."
"It's a yearly subscription but there are a couple of customers who go for the monthly subscription."
"There are licenses to use this solution."
"The cost is relatively high, especially for the BMC Controller application. However, the expense is justified by the standard and reliable features it offers. This product's reputation in the market is strong, providing assurance in terms of data and other considerations."
"Please always get the latest quote from a BMC partner or from BMC. Check for the latest offerings."
"We did not compare the price of BMC Helix ITSM to other vendors. However, it has a mid-range price."
"BMC is a little bit cheaper than ServiceNow, but BMC doesn't have the same capabilities in its entry-level product at the moment. The basic version does not have the DWP features that most of our customers are requesting."
"The price of BMC Helix ITSM is expensive."
"If you want to add more users who can handle support there will be additional fees. What we call our extensions, we need to pay more for. They tell us that we need to acquire more licenses or something like that. I think it's very expensive, because in terms the pula, our local currency, it's about 20,000 per license for each user. It is an annual fee."
"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"I came to know from my team members that my company used to operate ServiceNow but shifted to Ivanti Neurons for ITSM due to its low licensing prices."
"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
