Flexera SaaS Manager improves resource allocation, reduces costs, increases productivity, enhances transparency, and optimizes budget forecasting and operational efficiency.
Over the last five to ten years, there has been a good return on investment because BMC Remedy is very stable and the users are highly accustomed to it.

Stability Issues

BMC Remedy offers reliable stability, favored for performance and adaptability, though complex setups can impact integration and overall satisfaction.
Sentiment score
8.1
Flexera One is praised for stability, though server design needs work, while FlexNet Manager faces data accuracy issues.
The stability of the cloud version, which is what I'm currently using, is almost always reliable.
 

Room For Improvement

BMC Remedy requires an intuitive interface, better integration, enhanced customization, improved support, revised pricing, AI, and cloud optimization.
Flexera One requires server discovery enhancements, better reporting, automation, and improved integration with IT management platforms like ServiceNow.
We want integration with Microsoft Teams and something similar to Artificial Intelligence.
One feature I would like to see in the tool is the ability to handle everything in one place.
 

Setup Cost

BMC Remedy's pricing is high, complex, suited for large enterprises, with affordability concerns for smaller businesses despite cloud options.
Flexera One offers customizable pricing, noted for high costs in maintenance but recognized for effective software asset management.
The price is reasonable.
They've restructured how it's licensed, making it more fair.
 

Valuable Features

BMC Remedy enhances IT services with asset management, cloud access, and customization, supporting ITIL processes and effective communication.
Flexera One excels in software normalization, compliance, data accessibility, with robust license management and customizable reporting features.
BMC Remedy is very stable and operational, with users being highly accustomed to using it.
Flexera includes what I call canned reports, straight out of the box, but they also offer flexibility in creating custom reports.

Featured Reviews

Ameet Darole - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Donna Boyd - PeerSpot reviewer
Reporting capabilities improve compliance and flexibility exceeds expectations
The mainframe need improvement. Flexera One does not have an agent for it, so it can't report on mainframe usage. Several people have suggested it as an improvement. One feature I would like to see in the tool is the ability to handle everything in one place. If not, it is what it is.
