Featured Reviews

Rafael  Pinto Ferreira - PeerSpot reviewer
Impressive automation capabilities, predicts problems, and even find unseen vulnerabilities across your infrastructure
The biggest challenge is ensuring the customer has sufficient ITSM maturity to get the most out of the solution. BMC Helix is very sophisticated, and some clients lack that internal process maturity. There's sometimes a gap between the solution's capabilities and the client's readiness. We have to bridge that gap, bringing the customer up to the level where they can fully use all the features and benefits. Otherwise, they're investing in a powerful tool they don't fully utilize. It's crucial for vendors like us to assess client maturity before the project starts. We need to do the consulting work to show them the solution's potential and help them evaluate if it truly makes sense. Sometimes, the client might not be ready for the way BMC does things, for that level of automation and AI. BMC's automation is like nothing I've seen. You can even deflect 30% of IT service desk tickets with an intelligent chatbot – that's a number from BMC. Imagine the reduction in human agents! It's a robot doing the work, but in a way that feels human... that's the impressive part. You can integrate with WhatsApp, Teams, etc. It's game-changing.
Archana Menon - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use and has great orchestration and automation capabilities
The solution's initial setup is straightforward. Complexity always comes when the company requirements are added. There is a reason why ServiceNow is a market leader. If they would also bring in the complex nature like their peers, force companies to stick to out-of-the-box all the time, and bring in product customizations or product revisions, which would force other users not to use customization, then it would not stay like that. ServiceNow should not go the same route as other vendors and restrict their products from being scaled up or scaled down.
