Long-term ticket management has become straightforward and supports efficient incident handling
The best feature of BMC Remedy is that you can easily understand all the features in it as they are not complicated. When you click on new incident, all the fields are self-explanatory regarding what is required to be put in the work details node section assigned to chrome. These are all pretty easy to understand, and nothing much training is required for a person to start working on BMC Remedy.

Offers comprehensive reporting and utilization analysis but pricing remains a concern
The tool has relatively all basic and intermediate capabilities to meet our requirement. The price is a little bit on the higher side than other tools available in the market, except ServiceNow. ServiceNow is pretty expensive, but Snow License Manager is much more cost-effective than ServiceNow. In comparison to other software management tools, Snow License Manager is a bit on the higher side in terms of cost. In terms of capability and ease of use, it's good. We have all types of connectors in Snow License Manager, enabling effective data collection from various sources and reconciling them. Additionally, they have a very comprehensive software recognition library, which consists of a broad list of software signatures. This allows for proper identification of the software installed in the system, particularly within a hybrid environment containing on-prem, cloud, and different types of SaaS software, all of which are supported by their connectors to provide a one-stop shop report for all data sources. We haven't used the automated license tracking feature of Snow License Manager. They have some automation and orchestration functions, but our organization does not utilize them. The utilization analysis tool is effective. The Snow cloud-based functionality is pretty comprehensive for our organization, as Snow License Manager, with its connectors, is capable of providing all the required information, including when the last time a user logged in occurred. This information allows for effective license re-harvesting, along with other necessary functionalities.

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 most valuable BMC Remedy Asset Management are the dashboards and reports for the CIO."
"It has a good peer sharing module."
"It's an exceptionally robust and seamlessly integrated solution that has greatly facilitated our operations."
"The product has excellent support for remote and hybrid environments."
"As for advice on using BMC Remedy for the first time, I would advise that you should go ahead with BMC Remedy as it is a user-friendly and cost-effective product."
"The tool's automation features are fully capable, especially for IT automation. The asset management capabilities meet expectations."
"The discovery is excellent. It is agent-based, and it can also operate without one as long as there is an inventory source, such as SCCM. It may take data from the SCCM and normalize it to provide a very clear idea of what the hardware is, what software is running on it, what versions of that software are available, when is the end-of-life, and when they are no longer supported. All of that information is available."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The reporting tools of Snow License Manager helped me generate insights into software deployment and usage patterns, particularly for SaaS-based subscriptions, during renewal periods to decide whether to purchase more subscriptions or reduce them, allowing investment of saved funds into other tools."
 

Cons

"I think the way the Software Asset Management is designed makes it kind of complicated."
"Our management is trying to leave BMC Remedy for ServiceNow."
"There are issues from a product functionality perspective."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support."
"The upgrade process could be better. It would be a good improvement."
"The tool's GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The tool can be expensive for mid-market businesses, making it an area that can be considered for improvement by BMC Remedy."
"One area that requires improvement is the prevention of duplicates or data inconsistencies in the system."
"The dashboards provided by the solution have certain shortcomings, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"The support is an area that can be improved. As resellers, we are doing the first-level support because we have trained certified engineers, and we provide support. Because we are in India and they do not have a support center in India, the turnaround time for tickets could be improved. We have to rely on Australia for support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
"It is an expensive tool."
"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"I would rate the pricing a seven or eight out of ten. It is not a cheap solution, but it provides good value for money."
"I rate the product price as a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
