The biggest benefit in my area is impact modeling. Impact modeling helps to map a service that has different applications in it, with those applications having interdependencies with each other. When changes, incidents, problems, and so on occur, it will show exactly where the issue is, helping you to find the root cause much faster. This helps all organizations reduce their mean time to resolution.

BMC is excellent for large and complex environments but can be more challenging for small and medium-sized enterprises. It requires significant manual configuration and customization to meet specific requirements. In contrast, some other solutions on the market come ready to use with predefined templates, policies, and procedures, which can be easier to implement. With BMC, you have full control over the platform, allowing you to tailor it precisely to your needs, but this also means a time-consuming configuration process across its three layers: front end, mid layer, and back end. Our next goal is to transition from on-premises to cloud solutions. It does require transfer.

Room for Improvement

BMC Remedy requires enhancement in user experience, dashboard intuitiveness, and integration processes. The interface is outdated, and the customization and licensing complexity need attention. Improvements in technical and customer support are also necessary. Addressing pricing concerns and adopting SaaS and cloud technologies would benefit users. Enhancements in analytics and AI capabilities could offer predictive insights and data management refinements. BMC Remedy's deployment processes could be streamlined to increase usability and efficiency.

"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."
"Maybe the network automation aspects need improvement."
"When it comes to CMDB, to be able to manage the data, you have to have Atrium integrator, another integrated tool."

ROI

BMC Remedy provides a significant return on investment, reducing manual tasks from 24 hours to as little as two to three hours. Users report efficiency gains over five to ten years due to its stability and familiarity among users. Although seen as costly in Greece, its benefits in comparison to manual efforts are notable.

Pricing

BMC Remedy's pricing is considered high by many users, who find its complex licensing model challenging to navigate. While it's seen as competitive and sometimes preferable to ServiceNow, it may be prohibitive for smaller organizations. Larger enterprises often appreciate its value despite the cost. Subscription options offer some flexibility, but costs can escalate based on factors like licensing, integrations, and configurations. Users emphasize the need for more affordable pricing to broaden its customer base.

"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
"It is an expensive tool."
"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."

It supports various customizations for asset lifecycle and configuration management.

Initial setup experiences with BMC Remedy vary widely. Many find it straightforward and easy, especially with guidance or technical expertise. Deployment time can range from a few hours to a few months, depending on complexity and customization needs.

It can efficiently handle both on-premise and cloud deployments, benefiting from its flexible architecture.
