Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Provides a clean front-end for our users to log requests and has rich ITSM functionality.""The ease of use and integration made it a worthwhile investment, since we did some integrations with other tools making our lives easier.""Having all the processes, fields, and settings already setup out-of-the-box, thus minimizing implementation time.""It provides a good user experience.""The most valuable features of BMC Helix ITSM are the ease to use and integration.""This product has helped us to maintain our OLAs (Organisation level Agreements) and SLAs (Service Level Agreements) by tracking incidents, requests, problem records, and change requests, all in the form of tickets.""The way you can customize this product to adapt to the process the customer is already using is what sets this apart from other ITSM products out there. This helps customers to adapt to the tool pretty quickly.""Automatic orchestration is the most valuable. The feature for designating some cases or incidents to the right PM for resolution, first call resolution, and change management are also important. The self-service feature and knowledge base resolutions are helping the customers in resolving issues rather than opening tickets."

More BMC Helix ITSM Pros →

"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""The main feature for us is incident management, as it assists me in knowing my assignments, because we have group assignments. When we go to the group assignment they can assign it to me there.""It is easy to set up.""Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation.""The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy.""The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface""HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution.""This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."

"The solution is a highly mature product. Because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."

More Serviceaide ChangeGear Pros →

Cons
"SmartIT could include PR. This would help us greatly in bridging the gap between Remedy's views and SmartIT.""It would also be beneficial if there was a text-based editor for the workflow rules instead of using the developer studio, which adds a lot of time when developing quick solutions to problems.""BMC Helix ITSM should have an easy-to-use user interface.""The reports need improvement, it is not a good functioning tool.""Support could be more skilled. We are wasting too much of our time debugging.​""Support could be better.""The user experience could be better.""They should add some of the bolt-ons into the initial setup, such as chat."

More BMC Helix ITSM Cons →

"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM's support model is not very strong. You should buy professional services. Its self-service portal and survey are extremely lacking. You cannot customize it, and it doesn't look very good. The solution does not have a strong community.""Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow.""Sometimes I can't get the reports that I want until I go to the manager. They need to put more into the new reports. The standard reports are great, but there do not communicate as much.""Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control.""Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes.""We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds.""The user interface must be made simpler and more effective.""I have had to open a few support tickets with the HEAT Service Management. They are very good but there are some areas that they could improve on."

More Ivanti Neurons for ITSM Cons →

"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Please always get the latest quote from a BMC partner or from BMC. Check for the latest offerings."
  • "While purchasing, try to negotiate on per user licensing costs, associated maintenance, and purchase 20% more then what you think you should have. Bulk is always cheaper."
  • "If Customer and IT agents are happy, that is one of the greatest ROI. However, one of the major factors is Leadership, because at the end they have to justify the cost."
  • "It is costly, but it is well worth it."
  • "Just make sure you really sit down and look at what you will be using per user, therefore you will not be surprised with a big bill. You do not want every user having every license, it really is not needed."
  • "If you are looking for some kind of professional services form the OEM then you would have to purchase that."
  • "It is too expensive for a small business."
  • "It is not very expensive and not very cheap. It is somewhere in-between. Some of the features are more expensive. There are also additional costs. If you want to use most of the features, you need to pay more."
  • More BMC Helix ITSM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you want to add more users who can handle support there will be additional fees. What we call our extensions, we need to pay more for. They tell us that we need to acquire more licenses or something like that. I think it's very expensive, because in terms the pula, our local currency, it's about 20,000 per license for each user. It is an annual fee."
  • "I came to know from my team members that my company used to operate ServiceNow but shifted to Ivanti Neurons for ITSM due to its low licensing prices."
  • "The product is affordable for small businesses."
  • "The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."

    Reviews from Real Users

    BMC Helix ITSM’s software stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two of these are the robust activity tracking features and the lightweight nature of the solution.

    A PeerSpot user who is a technical Program Manager and Site Lead at a computer software company notes the nature of Helix’s task tracking when they write, “The most valuable features I have found are the activity logs. Additionally, the other features where you are able to continuously address issues and are able to annotate notes inside to convey them to the customer. The customer can read the notes and are able to know where you are in the procedures and process of fixing the problem for them. It has a good interactive piece for dialogue with customers where you do not have to interact with them personally, but they can do it on their own just by going into that activity log. This is great for the customer to have the ability to find out how things are being progressively taken care of.”

    Another PeerSpot user, who is a Practice Director of Global Infrastructure Services at a computer software company, notes, “Many other tools are similar. I've used these tools and find that they meet my requirements. Helix is more lightweight than these tools. It's a traditional tool that was developed more than 10 years ago. Ease of use is the operative word.”
