Edward Carbutt - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers multi-tenancy architecture, both in terms of functionality and reporting, requires minimal configuration and no-code deployment
We're still biased towards our previous, more mature product. 4me still needs to reach that level of maturity. However, for most users, the product will do what they need. It's only when you have mature service management processes and need deeper integrations at the process level that you might encounter some limitations. But for less mature needs, 4me works well.
MohammedOmer - PeerSpot reviewer
Complies with industry standards but needs easier setup and better navigation
It depends on the tier level - for the front-end users, BMC Helix Platform is easy with minimal training required. For mid-tier and back-end, training is required as the product is vast and has many different capabilities that need to be learned to extend those capabilities into other platforms. The licensing should be simplified. The functionality of the product is divided into many versions, and offerings are not bundled. We have to obtain different modules, and that complexity can be standardized. The website doesn't have much information about offerings until you engage with them. More information should be clearly mentioned on their website and product sites regarding licensing. Product features and capabilities shown in their marketing materials are limited. Their PDFs focus heavily on TrueSight but don't emphasize outcomes and real offerings of features for ITSM or line of business service requests. They can provide template-based solutions for departments as functionality remains similar throughout different business verticals. Out-of-the-box offerings for service requests and catalogs for HR and admin departments could help expedite implementation and gain more momentum and trust from the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like their request management as well as their project management."
"It offers a comprehensive set of features without requiring additional payments for each feature."
"The multi-tenancy architecture, both in terms of functionality and reporting, is the best feature. It is a really well-thought, designed, and developed part of this product."
"The solution is highly stable."
"BMC Helix Platform helps in digital transformation and internal workflows and processes being adopted from different departments in line of businesses."
"The BMC Helix Platform is perfect."
"The most valuable features of BMC Helix Platform for service delivery include Helix GPT, which uses AI and GPT within the enterprise service management space."
 

Cons

"We're still biased towards our previous, more mature product. 4me still needs to reach that level of maturity."
"We would like to be able to customize and brand the solution, or at least the majority of its features and dashboards, particularly those that will be used by a large number of people."
"One area where I believe there's room for improvement in the 4me system is the absence of an asset discovery tool."
"Asset Discovery is a feature that should be added."
"To improve BMC Helix Platform, they could enhance the mobile experience."
"We faced some stability issues with BMC Helix Platform's cloud version. Services and integration to AD weren't working properly at times."
"The cost of BMC Helix is very high, with an estimation of not less than $100,000 making it difficult for us to adopt the platform fully."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This pricing falls on the lower end of the spectrum, making it a cost-effective option."
"It is the most affordable because it is priced per month per user."
"The licensing costs on the website are about $60 for pay-as-you-go. And then it decreases based on volume discounts or something."
"The pricing is expensive."
"Regarding the cost, it's not expensive for enterprises but can be costly for small to medium-sized businesses. I recommend implementing a pricing model tailored for small to medium businesses to attract a larger customer base. Approximately, the license cost is around sixty dollars per month."
