    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.

    If your budget is really tight, then JitBit is not for you. It's kind of pricey. That said, JitBit HelpDesk is very robust--we've never had one second of downtime in my two years of using it. It depends on what's important to you. If you need rock-solid Help Desk and stellar, trouble-free performance, then JitBit it. If not, there are alternatives that are much less expensive. The cloud version might be less expensive for companies that don't need an on-premise solution.

    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.

    • Fantastic ticketing system to keep track of old conversations from clients.
    • Fantastic analytics and metric tracking.
    • Fantastic for sharing relationships with a customer. Generally, this would be a salesperson sharing an onboarding with a support person, but I think you could get creative with it. JitBit is very flexible.
    • Super easy to learn and use. If you can use your email, you can use JitBit.

    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.

    Support Rating
    BMC Helix
    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.

    JitBit just had the feature set at the cost point we were willing to spend. Nothing against the other products, but this one just fit our model better.

    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.

    • JitBit has neither had a positive nor a negative effect on our ROI. The reason is that we had to have a Help Desk solution that is secure and well-supported.
    • JitBit does cost real money. The least expensive on-premise option is $1,699, which might have a negative impact on your budget, but I'd have to say that it's worth it--at least for us.
    • Trouble-free, practically maintenance-free, Help Desk software has a positive impact on our technician time spent on it.
