Francois Seegers - PeerSpot reviewer
An open, scalable service that increases efficiency and productivity in enterprise service management
The most valuable features of BMC Helix Platform for service delivery include Helix GPT, which uses AI and GPT within the enterprise service management space. This feature automatically classifies requests and incidents, making descriptions more descriptive by using GPT and machine learning models. It converts the initial descriptions into better-worded versions using natural language, enhancing clarity and efficiency. This is just one of many AI and machine learning features within the solution.

Pros

"The BMC Helix Platform is perfect."
"The most valuable features of BMC Helix Platform for service delivery include Helix GPT, which uses AI and GPT within the enterprise service management space."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"The policies are probably the most valuable features. They're similar in function to Microsoft group policies where we can have it monitor certain things or push out software on a schedule. I would rate the policies eight out of 10. They're robust, I could monitor most of the things that Windows Performance Monitoring keeps tabs on."
"The best feature of NinjaOne is the SLA system. Every IT person can check their performance, how long it takes to resolve an issue, and how many SLAs are breached."
"The customer support at NinjaOne is excellent, rated ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of NinjaOne include remote desktop management, support and assistive tools, and screen sharing."
"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."
 

Cons

"The cost of BMC Helix is very high, with an estimation of not less than $100,000 making it difficult for us to adopt the platform fully."
"To improve BMC Helix Platform, they could enhance the mobile experience."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"The network monitoring needs to be improved."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding the cost, it's not expensive for enterprises but can be costly for small to medium-sized businesses. I recommend implementing a pricing model tailored for small to medium businesses to attract a larger customer base. Approximately, the license cost is around sixty dollars per month."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"Its pricing is great."
"It roughly costs $400 a month. It provides a good value because of the number of tools that you get in the solution. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing. There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."
