Cons

"There are issues from a product functionality perspective."

"In BMC Remedy, integration is a problem and even APIs are not available."
"The tool's GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"When it comes to CMDB, to be able to manage the data, you have to have Atrium integrator, another integrated tool."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support."
"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."
"There is room for improvement regarding the customization as it tends to lag in terms of flexibility, particularly in comparison to competitors."
"Not a ten because the price is high."
"It needs to improve user roles and access rights."
"Its automation feature needs improvement. They can include the vRealize Automation feature in this solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 product is costly. On one to ten points, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product's price as nine."
"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"The price depends on different enterprises. As compared to Citrix, VMware is reasonable."
