The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that BMC Helix Monitor is an agentless tool, because of which you don't need to deploy agents on each and every system in your IT environment. If you want to install an agent on each and every system, manpower is needed, while there is no such need when one uses BMC Helix Monitor. BMC Helix Monitor provides you with details on asset relationships. If a particular printer is connected to a core network printer or a particular desktop is connected to the servers, the product scans and gives you a free structure of relationship, which doesn't need any human intervention, making it an automated process. BMC Helix Monitor gives you the entire information about your assets, because of which you can sit in one place and keep track of whether a particular asset is online or offline.

The support provided is okay. It depends on the use cases. Especially for cloud applications, R&D or other specialized areas, my main concern is with the local market. We need to ensure that the SLAs for local cloud applications match those for international cloud applications. Whenever there is an issue on the local cloud, it must have an SLA similar to that of the managed services SLAs in other regions. Most of the tenders we receive are managed services tenders. To deliver such services, we need to have certain tools. These tools must have appropriate SLAs. The resolution time must be part of the SLA, and the escalation must be time-bound. It needs to be applied both internationally and locally.
