We performed a comparison between BMC Helix Discovery and SymphonyAI IT Service Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Asset Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the artificial intelligence and machine learning that it uses in the solution. Because once the solution discovers all the assets, all the infrastructure, and all the dependencies between services, it learns how it works. So, it learns to predict when a problem is going to happen. It becomes predictive in an autonomous way."
"The data models are the most useful aspect of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to install and deploy."
"It is agentless, which means you don't have to install anything on all the different pieces of hardware that you are looking to discover."
"The most valuable feature of BMC Helix Discovery is it operates well. It is well known and has gained recognition for its software."
"Accuracy and clarity are vastly improved for the service lines."
"The solution is definitely useful."
"It now comes with a very flexible deployment solution, whether you want to keep it inside your data center or want to have the cloud, depending on if you're cloud forward or not."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The monitoring tools could be more stable."
"There are certain limitations in the mapping feature of the solution."
"The product is not fully automated."
"There isn't much that could be improved. The solution is pretty thorough, very easy to implement, and very easy to operate."
"What would make BMC Helix Discovery better is if it had more client-side discovery features, for example, printers and desktops. Right now, it's focused more on data center discovery, so if it had additional features focused on the client-side discovery, that would be great. In the next release of BMC Helix Discovery, I'd like more client-side discovery features such as desktop discovery, printer discovery, and other IP-based client-side discovery features. The solution can discover desktops and printers, but there's still room for improvement on the client side."
"The support from BMC Helix Discovery can improve, it takes a long time before we receive any feedback. It can take days to months sometimes."
"The license model could be more flexible and cheaper pricing."
"Management of its own application infrastructure and integrations with other BMC tools."
"Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI."
"I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."
"There could be flexibility in terms of customization."
