Find out what your peers are saying about ServiceNow, Atlassian, BMC and others in IT Service Management (ITSM)."Helix is more lightweight than these tools. It's a traditional tool that was developed more than 10 years ago. Ease of use is the operative word."
"Provides a clean front-end for our users to log requests and has rich ITSM functionality."
"Reports have helped us to improve our IT processes. The main benefit is providing the right information to our decision makers."
"MyIT is simple to use and its mobility is a big plus for our on the go users."
"The most valuable features of BMC Helix ITSM are the ease to use and integration."
"The digital workplace is appealing."
"The Helix chatbot is helpful, and we can use its workflow features to automate some of the use cases for our clients."
"Customer support is always fantastic and willing to help. No matter what time of day we have a problem."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
"inContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not."
"It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
"It's easier as a supervisor to do your job more efficiently. You can have multiple things open at once to watch everything, being able to take one look at a page and see everything you need rather then having to flip through multiple programs. This is such a time saver. I get a lot more done in my day due to being able to keep my opened programs down to a minimum."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
"There are some limitations or restrictions to using BMC Helix. For example, when we do some reporting, the reporting interface should be more user-friendly from my point of view."
"The amount of software issues are still too big, even considering the complexity of the tool."
"The tool needs greater customization flexibility, particularly concerning notifications and the progressive view web page. This is significant because it encompasses various aspects like incident management, problem management, change management, work orders, and tasks. Aligning the GUI interface with these functionalities requires more flexibility."
"The interface isn't that great."
"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."
"The initial setup of BMC Helix ITSM is complex because it has different integrations with other tools. Additionally, it needs to be integrated with the active directory and have different databases. The environment will dictate how difficult the process is."
"Encountered issues with scalability and stability."
"Maybe it could be more simplified and easier to change the reporting point of view, like from a different vendor to another."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available."
"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while. For example, if I have a dashboard open that shows how many calls are in queue and how many are currently being handled by agents, sometimes a call that an agent is handling will get stuck on the dashboard after the agent ends the call and the dashboard will show that the call is still a live call. Our tech team has explained this to us as a ghost call. After some time (or maybe many screen refreshes) the call will go away like it has just ended."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
