We moved to BMC Remedy as ITSM tool from in-house tools in order to meet the scaling of the business. Till then we did not have a full fledge ITAM tool. Since BMC Helix Client Management Tool integrates readily with BMC Remedy, we decided to go with this tool for major asset inventory purpose. This is being used by the whole organisation for ITAM purpose.
  • Integration with BMC Remedy.
  • Lightweight client.
  • Good reporting features.
  • Features are not uniform across OS for end point management.
  • Changes take longer time to execute in the cloud front.
This tool will work the best in homogeneous environment where systems are running on Windows OS. In heterogeneous environment like ours where we have Windows, Linux and OS X operating systems, roll out and integration will be a challenge since not all the systems will have accessibility from a common credential.
  • This was a costly affair to say the least.
  • Did not find a great value add done by their support and account management team.
As we decided to go for BMC Remedy for ITSM, BMC Helix Client Management was the better solution than other tools for ITAM solution as integrating ITAM and ITSM was easier than other tools and also from support point of view, it will be one throat to choke. The reporting module was elaborate and customisable.
The process followed by the support team for incidents as well as support requests will become bottleneck for dynamically growing organisations as nothing works fast from a support point of view. A few of the requirements that we asked for took more time to execute and most of them came with a cost.

We use BMC Client Management for computer imaging, patch management, asset management and software deployment. It allows us a high level of control over the patching process which is extremely important in a manufacturing environment. It is our go to system to automate all asset processes and has allowed us to reduce computer replacement time, speed software deployment and help with asset planning.
  • Easy to use
  • Easy to upgrade
  • Highly flexible without customization
  • Great community/support
  • Patch management provides the flexibility to deploy patches using a test to production methodology. It also allows us to customize restart actions which helps with compliance but eases disruption to the business.
  • Computer imaging and software deployment work together to improve speed to delivery.
  • Financial asset management is very useful providing all of the information we need to support our PC replacement process.
  • Reporting can be challenging
  • Advanced features like image deployment lack detailed documentation
  • Would like to see the addition of flexible field names, especially to financial asset management.
Well suited for medium to large business that are looking to manage assets, deploy software automatically and need a high level of control over patching. Less appropriate for smaller businesses where fewer computers can be easily managed by hand or with freely available tools.
  • BMC Client Management has improved our speed to delivery, quality of service and security by providing the necessary automation tools to improve our processes.

We use BMC Client Management for remote access, OS program deployment, patch management, and compliance management. it is a very big time saver on patching systems. you can set it and let it go. The Compliance module has help our compliance officer find, identify, and remediate, shortfalls in our practices.
  • Simple interface
  • Easy to navigate around
  • It would be nice if it were possible to export search results
  • Schedule my reports to automatically, run at intervals of my choosing with the results either emailed or dumped to disk as a CSV
  • Easy report writing
Patch Management and software deployment. Needs a little help with reporting.
  • Saves a lot of time for techs.
