Find out what your peers are saying about ServiceNow, Atlassian, BMC and others in Help Desk Software."Initial, out-the-box setup was easy with no problems."
"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."
"With service requests, we have been able to give visibility to the business users."
"We use this tool for managing tickets, other employee related services, and reporting purposes."
"It provides a good user experience."
"Reports have helped us to improve our IT processes. The main benefit is providing the right information to our decision makers."
"The MyIT product has given our end users a much better perception of Remedy and made the product look more fluid. This has made people more likely to log calls rather than do work offline."
"The solution has good capabilities for analytics."
"I like that you can do all the things with it. You can patch, and you can run the scheduled tasks. You can remote in, upload files, and download files. You can log onto a computer PowerShell, or command prompt, without having to log into RDP. I also like its ease of use."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration with our mail system."
"This is a premier product and it has been around for a long time."
"Compared to ServiceNow, BMC Remedy is somewhat "closed." I can go to the ServiceNow website and learn everything there is to know about the product, and training is available. That really wasn't available with BMC Remedy."
"It can have more features for hardware discovery and hardware information. The integration with IQ operations management should be streamlined. ITSM and ITOM should be more integrated, and there should be better integration from Helix Discovery to Helix CMDB. There were some issues regarding this integration, and they were difficult to resolve in big environments. We have a lot of devices and users to manage. Therefore, the integration should be better."
"It has created more layers of bureaucracy."
"I would like to see the BMC add advanced DWP features and customization to the standard package. Furthermore, BMC does not have any leverage for non-IT services, so it would be nice if BMC could integrate something like HR Change Management into ITSM itself."
"The notifications that the solution is providing are very helpful, they should keep improving them for the future."
"The user experience could be better."
"It needs to be more comfortable for the end-user."
"Provide documentation on the content of the REST API interfaces. Right now, it is pretty much non-existent."
"The tool needs to improve its customization of the user interface."
"Its reporting is lousy and bad. It is not as good as it should be. There is too much work involved to get what you want. Most times, you have to call them to customize some stuff. I just don't like that part. They need to work on their reporting. They have a way to go."
"What I would like to see is a simplified solution that is packaged better, where you can easily implement or turn on the functionality that you need."
