    This was already in production when I stepped Into a leadership role. There was no urgency to change this. In a perfect world, we would have had more resources to help get the most out of the software.

    Like the interface better than a few of the others but it could be time to re-evaluate them again to see what options are out there.

    BMC Track-It! is much more bare bones compared to ServiceNow products, and if your department has the money, ServiceNow is a much better option. Not only is the Knowledge Base much easier to create and publish articles, but the asset management in BMC Track-It! is practically …

    We just started playing with Mojo. It integrates with Google Enterprise so that's a plus. We're looking forward to giving this one a try as we've played with multiple Help Desk packages and I feel like Mojo might be the one. BMC Track-it! has a far better interface, in my …

    Depending on your organization size, you have to be very particular with the ITSM that you choose. Track-It! does the work we need it to right now. However, we will soon need to use something like Jira in order to become a next-generation service desk.

    Wrike is a recent addition to our software inventory, which we are primarily using for Change Management and Project Management. Wrike does have a Service Desk (ticketing) functionality, but currently, it cannot do everything that BMC Track-It! can do in relation to ticketing. …

    The only other ticket management system that I have used was internally created and while it was much better than BMC in regards to the interface and ease of use they pretty much have the same functionality. I was not part of the decision-making process to select Track–It, so I …

    Track-It! has flexibility that ServiceNow couldn't offer us. We also didn't want a separate web portal. Track-It allows for more on premise links and integrations that we just couldn't do with ServiceNow.

    Track-It! is great for a small-to-medium sized enterprise that has a fairly small IT department but needs far more control of tickets than just email and spreadsheets. It scales well enough as IT departments grow, adding techs is simple enough, as is changing the workflow. A large company would probably be better off with a different solution. The lack of easy customization, and the shortcomings it has in workflow templates (which would be a nightmare for project management) means it won't scale up that far.

    Pros
    BMC Helix
    • The software is simple to use. There doesn't seem to be a lot of bells and whistles which could be attractive to some users.
    • It includes email notifications where users are able to respond to an email and it updates the ticket.
    • The system gives you the ability to customize your view so that you only need to see that tickets that are relevant to you or your group.

    Cons
    BMC Helix
    • Configuration is convoluted in my opinion. Getting the email to flow how you'd like is difficult.
    • A lot of the configuration option names aren't very clear. It seems they use their own terminology for things I would have never guessed.
    • Support is lacking - asking them for help always results in them directing you to a KB article. Sometimes you just want hand holding.

    We have rarely needed to use Support for BMC Track-It!, but in the times that we did need to use it, they were excellent. The biggest issue is that after not paying for support for about three years, now that we NEED support, it is too expensive for us to receive. This is due to the way their support is billed. So long as you never drop support, then you should be fine.

    BMC Track-It! is much more bare bones compared to ServiceNow products, and if your department has the money, ServiceNow is a much better option. Not only is the Knowledge Base much easier to create and publish articles, but the asset management in BMC Track-It! is practically useless. BMC Track-It! is more cost effective, and with a small amount of technicians there's likely no reason to need a bigger solution, but it leaves a lot wanting.

    Return on Investment
    BMC Helix
    • The biggest positive impact it had on ROI was that the software itself didn't require any expensive ongoing maintenance contracts since it was installed and managed by our organization.
    • The negative aspect of this is if there was a major problem with the software, then it would require contacting the vendor, at which point it could become expensive for a service call.
