Development team is quick to address bugs or shortcomings in their product
BMC's technical support team needs to improve. Right now, the problem over here is we are not getting the exact answers on time. Their engineers are mainly based in the US or Israel, and we get comprehensive dedicated support. Some of the Indian customer service representatives are also outstanding. Unfortunately, in the past six months or seven months, I've been getting brand-new engineers. Either they're not entirely aware of most cases, or they don't know how to troubleshoot further. So for any product to be stable and work correctly, BMC must ensure that customer service is excellent. Even though if your product is a hundred percent, we'll have problems marketing it to our customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Having all the processes, fields, and settings already setup out-of-the-box, thus minimizing implementation time."
"Provides a clean front-end for our users to log requests and has rich ITSM functionality."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable features of BMC Helix ITSM are the collaboration, integrated with the help of another solution called Entity. We can do all the integration and receive an automatic ticket with the help of email. We are able to receive SMS alerts to clients and end users. Every step of the ticket is generated and we are able to resolve and close them. It's very helpful to have the ability to inform the user with detailed information."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"BMC offers excellent customer solutions, and they're quick to address bugs or shortcomings in their product."
"The mobile features are the best part of the new version. It is easy to be notified and update your work from a mobile, which is great."
"Our Change Management and Incident Management​ processes have been greatly improved."
"The solution's technical support is very responsive."
"The user-friendly solution enables business users to extract data in various formats independently. Additionally, it controls access, allowing for data masking of sensitive information within Oracle. These features contribute positively to the user experience, especially from the perspective of business users."
 

Cons

"Working with numerous processes can be complex, and the processes are not always transparent in the solution."
"There is a text editor that we use to enter our incident description or service request description, and it should be richer in terms of features."
"The documentation could improve in BMC Helix ITSM."
"Maybe the upgrade process and the release between environments should to be more transparent for anyone to execute it."
"If I'm working with a client who wants to expand and move into other areas - they want to expand their workflow and other parts of the organization, they want to do some work with project management, they want to do some work with HR - I'm not sure that BMC Remedy is doing that. And it's because of their platform. Any software has a lifecycle. To me, BMC is a dated architecture."
"The user experience could be better."
"The dashboard can be better."
"Some parts of the solutions are using the old interface."
"The concerns where improvements are required lie in the area of finance revolving around aspects like receivables and the general ledger."
"I recommend enhancing the user interface to make the product more user-friendly for business users. Identifying queries that apply to Oracle technical assessments would be beneficial, particularly for Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) or other specific ready-made packages."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are licenses to use this solution."
"The solution's pricing should come down."
"I am not sure the exact price we pay for the solution but I know it is in the high seven-figure amount annually."
"BMC Helix ITSM is a very cost-effective solution."
"If you are looking for some kind of professional services form the OEM then you would have to purchase that."
"While purchasing, try to negotiate on per user licensing costs, associated maintenance, and purchase 20% more then what you think you should have. Bulk is always cheaper."
"It's a yearly subscription but there are a couple of customers who go for the monthly subscription."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. The solution is expensive."
"The tool is cheap, but monthly subscriptions are a bit high."
"I rate the product price a six or a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
