    BMC Helix
    Based on what we have experienced, BMC Helix Optimize is a good choice for businesses that already have other BMC tools, such as BMC Helix Operations Management or BMC Helix Cloud Cost, due to the integrated capabilities that can be leveraged. Besides, it is a great tool for visual analysis of costs associated with operations.

    We can use this Elastic Observability in our business problems such as Creating internal/operational efficiencies issues, customer relations/service, and business process outcomes issues. This product has a lot of features for the above problems. But this product may be having some issues when charting purposes. But it can adjust for that purpose.

    Alternatives Considered
    BMC Helix
    In general, BMC Helix Optimize has a set of tools that are quite advanced compared to other technologies in the same field. Especially the visual representations and the flexibility when building rules to control the spend are some of the most useful functionalities that work quite well, usually better than in the rest of the tools.

    Elastic
    Splunk is a very good product but the licensing costs are high; we utilise the best of both worlds by using both products for slightly different purposes. We put the voluminous data with simple use cases in Elastic where it doesn't cost too much and can be searched quickly while putting the less voluminous data with more complex use cases in Splunk so we can take advantage of Splunk's very comprehensive but often much slower SPL search query language
