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.
Abdul  Hakim - PeerSpot reviewer
Helpful smart automation and tracking that can be used with minimal adjustments
This is a recording system, and it's an automation system. It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed. The focus is on test management. Everything can be tracked from asset management. Asset management offers many facilities. It doesn't require additional training for ManageEngine or technicians. Assets are simply reported from the dashboard, indicating where IT is missing, where compliance is mentioned, or where action is needed, with driver updates. All facilities are available in the enterprise edition, allowing users, customers, or any organization to easily obtain their referred insights. Anyone can easily install it. There are no handbells. An app provides instructions, with documentation available. Sometimes, IT issues arise like fraud blocking or service-related problems. Upon facing an issue, feedback is integrated, and the solution is provided from their end. This is a very IT-friendly solution. We get LiveSat and IT management. Facilities are accessible, like exporting the installation folder, making the migration process easy. Failover or redundancy can occur within two to five hours, making it scalable. This is a very stable solution.

Cons

"The UI is quite outdated."
"The interface is obsolete."
"Integration and deployment could be better. It could be easier and faster to integrate and deploy. It would also help if we could have a 360-degree view. It would be better if they changed it to a SaaS type of offering, which is becoming the standard."
"I would like to have more customized reporting because the management team loves customized reports with graphs."
"There are issues from a product functionality perspective."
"BMC works through intermediaries or vendors for support, so you don't always interact with BMC directly. The quality can vary depending on the specific vendor."
"In BMC Remedy, integration is a problem and even APIs are not available."
"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."
"It would be helpful if there were a premium technician license that includes all the suites, eliminating the need to buy separate licenses for each feature."
"It requires some development to be better, more comfortable, and usable, enhancing customer satisfaction."
"The engineering area needs improvement."
"I would love to see a digital adoption feature or guide that navigates first-time users through the application, as it is quite complex with many relevant and irrelevant elements."
"I would love to see a digital adoption feature or guide that navigates first-time users through the application, as it is quite complex with many relevant and irrelevant elements."
"Responses from ManageEngine should be faster."
"The asset management tool is costly."
"I hope it includes barcode features, as barcode scanning and MacAdes cannot currently be mapped with this field."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is an expensive tool."
"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
"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."
"Its price is reasonable, but I wish it was lower."
