Ameet Darole - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers automation, orchestration, service level management but lacks AI-based rules
BMC Helix is the upgraded version and incorporates many new ways of working for service operations. It's a significant improvement. Helix offers analytics, AI-based rules, a smart digital console, and workflow management. Remedy doesn't have these features. That's a significant difference. BMC Helix seems to be a strong competitor to ServiceNow, while Remedy wasn't at the same level.
Abhishek Bhosle - PeerSpot reviewer
Good ticketing tool but limitations with integration
We use ManageEngine, but it's still pretty new and under development. We used SummitAI for about four years before switching to ManageEngine. There are specific features that were missing in SummitAI that we're hoping to find in ManageEngine. We were informed that ManageEngine was a new ticketing tool with modern and advanced analytics, which would be a better fit than SummitAI with its older engine. Firstly, ManageEngine allows detailed asset inventory per user. I, as a user, can store authentication details like which laptop and mobile I use, for all employees. Secondly, ManageEngine can handle patching, Windows updates, and pushing applications from the server to desktops. Finally, ManageEngine lets us do remote access directly through the tool.

"BMC Remedy is very stable and scalable, making it a valuable tool for our support team."
"The most valuable BMC Remedy Asset Management are the dashboards and reports for the CIO."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"It will simplify handling tasks by providing shortcuts and automating the generation of requests and tickets, including their categorization."
"The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it."
"The product has the best features for ITSM."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's chat box feature has reduced our service discount, and because it's intelligent, the responses that go out to the users have improved, and the resolutions are much faster."
"It was easy to access and fast. Our experience using it solely as a ticketing tool. We used fetch reports from the tool, particularly with regard to SLA tracking for our partners."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in integration with various platforms. The support services should be improved. The response time from the support team should be faster."
"Continuous improvement is recommended."
"The solution must be flexible."
"Could be more user friendly for admins to manage."
"Areas for improvement include lack of vision, lack of industry-specific solutions, limited workflows compared to ServiceNow, and being restricted to a purely IT perspective, which limits their addressable market."

"In BMC Remedy, integration is a problem and even APIs are not available."
"There is room for improvement regarding the customization as it tends to lag in terms of flexibility, particularly in comparison to competitors."

"Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find the pricing to be reasonable."

"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."
"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."
"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."
"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
