Offers automation, orchestration, service level management but lacks AI-based rules
BMC Helix is the upgraded version and incorporates many new ways of working for service operations. It's a significant improvement. Helix offers analytics, AI-based rules, a smart digital console, and workflow management. Remedy doesn't have these features. That's a significant difference. BMC Helix seems to be a strong competitor to ServiceNow, while Remedy wasn't at the same level.

Provides good stability, but it could be intuitive and easier to use
The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version. Its asset management feature has been significantly affected since the upgrade. Earlier, it was able to perform skill-based routing automatically. We could set up parameters within the system and view the details of the incident or a ticket. The same functionality needs to be fine-tuned in the new system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It had automation, orchestration, service level management, and event management. You could also integrate it for auto-remediation."
"It has a good peer sharing module."
"The solution is extremely user-friendly."
"BMC Remedy Asset Management is pretty easy for quite a lot of functions."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We can create our own profile in BMC Remedy, track how many tickets we've closed on a daily basis, monitor how many SLAs we've escalated, and see how many tickets we've received daily."
"The asset discovery feature in BMC is notably better compared to ServiceNow."
"The tool's automation features are fully capable, especially for IT automation. The asset management capabilities meet expectations."
"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."
"Our users have come to expect availability and quick responses, and we are able to provide this thanks to the Track-IT! solution."
"As a department, we have been able to identify problems and resolve them faster because of the centralized database."
"We use it to create and manage our work orders."
"We can manually capture the assets available within the location."
"The customization of the product and reporting capabilities have allowed us to provide upper management the graphs (data) they request that helps validate specific needs that we (IT) have."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"Track-It! has many features that help make us more efficient and cost effective as a department."
 

Cons

"The tool can be expensive for mid-market businesses, making it an area that can be considered for improvement by BMC Remedy."
"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."
"There is room for improvement regarding the customization as it tends to lag in terms of flexibility, particularly in comparison to competitors."
"Maybe the network automation aspects need improvement."
"Could be more user friendly for admins to manage."
"If a user isn't using an out-of-the-box configuration, it can get a bit complex."
"The product's scalability is one area with certain shortcomings that need to be considered for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support."
"The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version."
"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"The solution is cumbersome to use."
"There are a few items that I would like changed or extra features that could be added to our current version of this software, but those are all going to be addressed in a future software update."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"Track-It! works great for a mid-size company, but anything over 700 employees, and trying to use Track-It! for any other areas of the business is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"It is an expensive tool."
"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."
"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
"BMC Remedy is worth its price."
"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."
"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
