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."The most valuable feature of the solution is its application dependency mapping."
"Weekly reports to management really make our life simple."
"It is a stable solution. The stability is okay."
"The most valuable feature of BMC Helix Discovery is it operates well. It is well known and has gained recognition for its software."
"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."
"Start anywhere application modelling brings a fantastic opportunity for users to see what is where."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to install and deploy."
"Accuracy and clarity are vastly improved for the service lines."
"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."
"The product has the best features for ITSM."
"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."
"There is still room for improvement in terms of stability."
"It would be nice to see more updates to the solution."
"The monitoring tools could be more stable."
"Management of its own application infrastructure and integrations with other BMC tools."
"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."
"I would like to see the ability to scan some of the newer cloud platforms. I know that BMC has them on the roadmap, and they are coming soon, but they can't come fast enough. Being able to scan more of GCloud, Alibaba Cloud, or whatever the public clouds that our customers are buying, we need to make sure that Discovery can find them as well."
"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."
"There could be flexibility in terms of customization."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."
"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."
