Digital platform provides stable and valuable support for technical staff
The digital place is very interesting for users, and Smart IT is a very good platform for our technical staff. BMC Remedy is very stable and operational, with users being highly accustomed to using it. It is very stable and scalable, making it a valuable tool for our support team.

Detects incidents quickly, improves our SLA performance and solves issues faster
We mainly use it for incident logging. We'd like to add service request functionality, but we don't have the knowledge to configure the requests and the workflows properly. We'd like to integrate our workflows with the incident management, so we use it to manage our work better. We'd like to implement the service request feature. Right now, we just record everything as incidents. Some activities can take a long time, maybe one or two weeks. This makes it hard to maintain a good SLA, even if we work hard. So, response speed and workflow improvements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BMC Remedy Asset Management is pretty easy for quite a lot of functions."
"It's a scalable product."
"The asset discovery feature in BMC is notably better compared to ServiceNow."
"The solution helps us manage, escalate, and solve incidents."
"There are a lot of features a customer can use. It’s an existing concept of asset management. One feature is the ability to create tickets for various computer systems, VPN defenses, sites, regions, or customers."
"The discovery feature of BMC Remedy has been very valuable."
"The most valuable features of BMC Remedy are its ease of use, ease of installation, and customization capabilities."
"It will simplify handling tasks by providing shortcuts and automating the generation of requests and tickets, including their categorization."
"The best part is the ability to keep records, especially incident records. It's easy to use the tool to store data and monitor it."
"The solution has a great filtering feature."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement regarding the customization as it tends to lag in terms of flexibility, particularly in comparison to competitors."
"I would like to have more customized reporting because the management team loves customized reports with graphs."
"The desktop technicians face some challenges with the solution."
"The product's scalability is one area with certain shortcomings that need to be considered for improvement."
"However, from a stability perspective, we sometimes had issues, like running out of resources, maxing out, database issues, and the server freezing out and functioning at fifty percent."
"The tool can be expensive for mid-market businesses, making it an area that can be considered for improvement by BMC Remedy."
"The initial setup of BMC Remedy Asset Management was complex."
"Integration and deployment could be better. It could be easier and faster to integrate and deploy. It would also help if we could have a 360-degree view. It would be better if they changed it to a SaaS type of offering, which is becoming the standard."
"The setting up process is not quite easy. It's quite difficult."
"The system shuts down about once a month which is frustrating."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive."
"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"The pricing is in-between. It's not too cheap, and it's not too expensive. For a large organization, it's worth it. But for a smaller one, it might be a bit costly."
"BMC Remedy is worth its price."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"It is expensive."
