"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."
"We have now automatic and immediate control of assets usage, and we can now better manage our assets pool and get benefits through that."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The product falls short compared to storage discovery mechanisms offered by Tenable or ServiceNow ITOM. In the market, there are various applications available that provide different sets of features. Its drawback is that it doesn't give the database configuration customers need out of the box. Additionally, the classification of storage virtualization is relatively lacking. Therefore, there is room for improvement, particularly in the database areas."
"The monitoring tools could be more stable."
"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 solution should have different portals and logins for each customer so only that customer's assets show."
"There is still room for improvement in terms of stability."
"The product is not fully automated."
"There are certain limitations in the mapping feature of the solution."
"The solution's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are needed."
"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
"The technology used is outdated, the interface is outdated, the database is outdated, everything is outdated."
"There are a lot of things that need improvement. Software recognition, software licensing, software compliance, data inputs, reporting, and support are some of the areas."
