BMC Helix CMDB Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
ITSM Consultant at Smart IT Service4.0BMC Atrium CMDB stores configuration items, both physical and logical, and maintains their relationships, facilitating service model building. Its user-friendly interface and relational model enhance IT asset management. Unlike ServiceNow, BMC recently transitioned to cloud installations.
BMC Remedy Consultant at a tech services company with 1-10 employees4.0We use BMC Atrium CMDB for managing configurations, and its people association feature is highly valuable for assigning CIs. However, improvement is needed in handling duplicate records when loading data from third-party tools. It's better than ServiceNow in features.
ITSM Consultant at Smart IT Service5.0I find BMC Atrium CMDB essential for ITSM, valuing its custom class creation. While scalable with good support, integration can be slow, and I wish for a cloud version and improved interface. Overall, I rate it 10/10.
BMC Remedy Consultant at a energy/utilities company with 5,001-10,000 employees5.0I use this stable, scalable solution for holistic asset monitoring, valuing its data access and seamless ITSM integration. While I desire improved service modeling and faster impact analysis, I rate it 10/10.
Lead Programmer Analyst at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees5.0I use this for asset tracking, which has greatly improved our real-time view. Its precedence and normalization rules are valuable. However, I wish for a more streamlined interface, consistent with other BMC Remedy products.
Business Support System Engineer at a comms service provider with 201-500 employees4.5I find Atrium CMDB great for mapping networks and managing data, especially with Atrium Integrator. It's a comprehensive tool, though I'm awaiting the enhanced UI in the new release.
