Digital platform provides stable and valuable support for technical staff
The digital place is very interesting for users, and Smart IT is a very good platform for our technical staff. BMC Remedy is very stable and operational, with users being highly accustomed to using it. It is very stable and scalable, making it a valuable tool for our support team.

Head - IT Asset & Service Management at Nexperia
Offers comprehensive reporting and utilization analysis but pricing remains a concern
The tool has relatively all basic and intermediate capabilities to meet our requirement. The price is a little bit on the higher side than other tools available in the market, except ServiceNow. ServiceNow is pretty expensive, but Snow License Manager is much more cost-effective than ServiceNow. In comparison to other software management tools, Snow License Manager is a bit on the higher side in terms of cost. In terms of capability and ease of use, it's good. We have all types of connectors in Snow License Manager, enabling effective data collection from various sources and reconciling them. Additionally, they have a very comprehensive software recognition library, which consists of a broad list of software signatures. This allows for proper identification of the software installed in the system, particularly within a hybrid environment containing on-prem, cloud, and different types of SaaS software, all of which are supported by their connectors to provide a one-stop shop report for all data sources. We haven't used the automated license tracking feature of Snow License Manager. They have some automation and orchestration functions, but our organization does not utilize them. The utilization analysis tool is effective. The Snow cloud-based functionality is pretty comprehensive for our organization, as Snow License Manager, with its connectors, is capable of providing all the required information, including when the last time a user logged in occurred. This information allows for effective license re-harvesting, along with other necessary functionalities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It includes features for automation, such as smart reporting capabilities."
"BMC Remedy is very stable and scalable, making it a valuable tool for our support team."
"It will simplify handling tasks by providing shortcuts and automating the generation of requests and tickets, including their categorization."
"The solution helps to manage the operational flow in our organization."
"This product is good because it allows us to receive proper responses to business emails anywhere and anytime. It helps in effective communication with employees. The solution is stable. The product is scalable. The initial setup is straightforward. I recommend BMC Remedy, especially for its automation capabilities."
"The incident management console is available out of the box."
"It's a scalable product."
"You can develop plugins in different languages, and the workflows can be easily developed depending on the user's needs."
"The discovery is excellent. It is agent-based, and it can also operate without one as long as there is an inventory source, such as SCCM. It may take data from the SCCM and normalize it to provide a very clear idea of what the hardware is, what software is running on it, what versions of that software are available, when is the end-of-life, and when they are no longer supported. All of that information is available."
"The reporting tools of Snow License Manager helped me generate insights into software deployment and usage patterns, particularly for SaaS-based subscriptions, during renewal periods to decide whether to purchase more subscriptions or reduce them, allowing investment of saved funds into other tools."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
 

Cons

"The tool can be expensive for mid-market businesses, making it an area that can be considered for improvement by BMC Remedy."
"The interface is obsolete."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support."
"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."
"The initial setup of BMC Remedy Asset Management was complex."
"One area that requires improvement is the prevention of duplicates or data inconsistencies in the system."
"If we migrate to the cloud, the Software as a Service version's price is very high. The return on investment is very small in our case."
"BMC Remedy's change management module needs enhancement."
"The dashboards provided by the solution have certain shortcomings, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"The support is an area that can be improved. As resellers, we are doing the first-level support because we have trained certified engineers, and we provide support. Because we are in India and they do not have a support center in India, the turnaround time for tickets could be improved. We have to rely on Australia for support."
 

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."
"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."
"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."
"The tool is expensive."
"It is an expensive tool."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"I rate the product price as a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"I would rate the pricing a seven or eight out of ten. It is not a cheap solution, but it provides good value for money."
