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.

Søren Tøpholm - PeerSpot reviewer
It is very easy to use, maintain and deploy
There are situations all the time in my company where the Snow License Manager effectively identifies over-licensing of software, leading to cost savings. It is an effective solution. In Snow License Manager, the most beneficial feature for maintaining compliance revolves around the area of compliance overview. With the product, my company is able to manage all sources of reports on our organization's environment. The reporting analytics feature has aided in our company's decision-making processes. The automated discovery feature in the tool is very good. In my company, I don't know how I would manage if the tool was not available to help me with asset management. The product is easy to maintain. Snow License Manager supports business in contract negotiations by basically giving us all the data to clarify our company's position. I recommend the solution to others. It is very easy to use, maintain, and deploy. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution helps us manage, escalate, and solve incidents."
"The solution offers some very good features."
"There are a lot of features a customer can use. It’s an existing concept of asset management. One feature is the ability to create tickets for various computer systems, VPN defenses, sites, regions, or customers."
"It's an exceptionally robust and seamlessly integrated solution that has greatly facilitated our operations."
"The asset discovery feature in BMC is notably better compared to ServiceNow."
"The most valuable feature of the solution includes all of its components since they act as the authentication system of the product."
"The most valuable features of BMC Remedy are its ease of use, ease of installation, and customization capabilities."
"It will simplify handling tasks by providing shortcuts and automating the generation of requests and tickets, including their categorization."
More BMC Remedy pros
"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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."
 

Cons

"The desktop technicians face some challenges with the solution."
"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."
"Could be more user friendly for admins to manage."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Continuous improvement is recommended."
"BMC Remedy's change management module needs enhancement."
"There are issues from a product functionality perspective."
"Areas for improvement include lack of vision, lack of industry-specific solutions, limited workflows compared to ServiceNow, and being restricted to a purely IT perspective, which limits their addressable market."
More BMC Remedy cons
"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."
"The dashboards provided by the solution have certain shortcomings, making it in areas where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"The tool is expensive."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"It is an expensive tool."
"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"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."
More BMC Remedy pricing and cost advice
"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."
