BMC Helix Client Management vs. Magical

This tool will work the best in homogeneous environment where systems are running on Windows OS. In heterogeneous environment like ours where we have Windows, Linux and OS X operating systems, roll out and integration will be a challenge since not all the systems will have accessibility from a common credential

I would recommend Magical for people with disabilities, especially those who are suffering from nerve pain. I would also recommend Magical for customer support agents who have to write the same sentence (like greetings, signatures, email sign offs)

• Easy to use
• Easy to upgrade
• Highly flexible without customization
• Great community/support
• Patch management provides the flexibility to deploy patches using a test to production methodology. It also allows us to customize restart actions which helps with compliance but eases disruption to the business.
• Computer imaging and software deployment work together to improve speed to delivery.
• Financial asset management is very useful providing all of the information we need to support our PC replacement process.

• It would be nice if it were possible to export search results
• Schedule my reports to automatically, run at intervals of my choosing with the results either emailed or dumped to disk as a CSV
• Easy report writing

The process followed by the support team for incidents as well as support requests will become bottleneck for dynamically growing organisations as nothing works fast from a support point of view. A few of the requirements that we asked for took more time to execute and most of them came with a cost.

As we decided to go for BMC Remedy for ITSM, BMC Helix Client Management was the better solution than other tools for ITAM solution as integrating ITAM and ITSM was easier than other tools and also from support point of view, it will be one throat to choke. The reporting module was elaborate and customisable.
