Cons
"An area that can be improved is the IoT.""Management of its own application infrastructure and integrations with other BMC tools.""What would make BMC Helix Discovery better is if it had more client-side discovery features, for example, printers and desktops. Right now, it's focused more on data center discovery, so if it had additional features focused on the client-side discovery, that would be great. In the next release of BMC Helix Discovery, I'd like more client-side discovery features such as desktop discovery, printer discovery, and other IP-based client-side discovery features. The solution can discover desktops and printers, but there's still room for improvement on the client side.""It would be nice to see more updates to the solution.""The product falls short compared to storage discovery mechanisms offered by Tenable or ServiceNow ITOM. In the market, there are various applications available that provide different sets of features. Its drawback is that it doesn't give the database configuration customers need out of the box. Additionally, the classification of storage virtualization is relatively lacking. Therefore, there is room for improvement, particularly in the database areas.""BMC Helix Discovery needs more customization options.""The license model could be more flexible and cheaper pricing.""The solution is definitely useful."

"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information.""The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility.""We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
