BMC Helix
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.

Supremo can be useful when systems are incompatible, as competitors sometimes need to have the latest operating system version, and Supremo is compatible with most. However, compared to competitors, it has more limited functions that could be improved, and the functions, while somewhat limited, could be optimized to improve performance and device control.

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.

  • The basic plan only allows you to connect to one device
  • The connection can be improved in terms of stability and disconnections can be reduced.

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.

Supremo tends to be easier to use since it doesn't require installation or creating an account. Regarding compatibility with older operating systems like Windows, it tends to be one of the top choices because others are sometimes incompatible. Its execution tends to be lightweight, requiring minimal computer resources, and the most useful and basic functions are readily accessible.

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.
