BMC Helix ITSM vs. Intel Data Center Manager (Intel DCM)

This is great for large-scale incident and problem management. It allows teams of individuals to quickly correlate, track, and resolve incidents and problems across different business units. It shines when used to automate repetitive tasks, manage complicated service transitions, and integrate with multiple IT systems. However, it might not be effective for small organizations that need simple processes, as the robust features could involve a long learning curve, increased costs, and implementation of resource-consuming processes. Customization could also require a strong technical knowledge.

Reliable data transportation solution which allows easy collection of different data from other multiple platforms easily through its secure data management channels. Intel Data Center Manager provides possibilities for easy detection of different data threats and helps fix the problem effectively. The reports offered are useful and helpful on excellent business new decisions making.

• AI drive incident correlation leading to identifying problems and major incidents quickly.
• Digital Workplace gives end-users a modern and personalized UI to submit requests, monitor service health, and receive self-help.
• As an enterprise ITSM, it is critical that Request, Incident, Problem, Asset, and Change Management are integrated and flow together. BMC Helix is built on this principle.

• Easy manage multiple big data from this effective tool.
• Quality, its management services is on top.
• Easy import and easy data analytics.

• Service Level management configs can be lengthy, and when changes are needed to specific SLA, it does take a long time to configure. Templates work but only for certain things, lots of manual work is still required.
• The Online product documentation can be confusing or in same cases not correct.
• BMC products are sometimes expensive. When partners try to resell licenses or increase their own allotment, it becomes very expensive.

• New users can have issues on the deployment of this software.
• The management of multiple different data is a complex duty to some users.
• Migrating large amount of data from other packages.

It provides the tool we need and is able to be customised to meet new requirements. Cost to change in training and integrations would be considerable.

At least Remedy is all contained in a single platform, so the interface is consistent. Also, the most heavily performed functions are generally usable. However, to use some of the more advanced modules can be a bit more cumbersome (such as Change Management and CMDB (Not Including ADDM)). So, overall BMC Remedy ITSM is better than some applications like CA SDM or HP SM, but not quite on par with ServiceNow.

for now we are satisfied. first two months 😉

could be faster. db is slower from introducing postgresql

Their tech support is top notch. They respond and get back to us, even on lower level incidents and issues, very quickly. It is rare that we deal with a support technician who does not know what they are doing.

the trainers dont have so much practical experiences. its mostly follow up and reading existing documentation withou own input. of course experiences people are on shore or have no free time. sad truth

Satisfied because I didn't have to do it!

I believe Remedy's performance and market share exceeds its competitors. But it is worth mentioning that Microsoft's SCCM has excellent integration with Microsoft enterprise solutions and has is less expensive and not efficient. The IBM solution has better analytics but lacks the wide features and capabilities of Remedy. HP & CA are the real competitors for Remedy but lacks the stability, maturity, and effectiveness in Remedy

unclear. lot of for less

Again, always room for improvement, but a very stable product none-the-less.

• Positive: an introduction to ITIL and viewing Asset, User Management from the perspective of ITIL, and how BMC has implemented those processes
• Negative: The development team needs to communicate better with the sales and support side, and they need offer an open API
• Negative: Currently the Asset Management side has little security and validation of Asset input: anyone can make API (mostly), at any item, which is a problem that I am apart of solving.
• The UX needs updating, badly. Its quality is poor: it functions, but it is cumbersome, click-heavy and requires several hours to understand how to function with it. Also, it needs to ditch IE11 support, altogether.

• We utilize Intel Data Center Manager to easy migration of large data across platforms.
• Notification capability is effective.
• Data modeling and management via the tool capability is incredible.
