BMC Helix ITSM replaces Remedy. It is a broad suite of ITSM, tools with strong integrations to other BMC tools and in-built ITAM. The product is used mainly by global brands and is offered in on-premise and SaaS configurations.BMC Software Inc.BMC Remedy tool for ITSM2019-05-01T16:45:36.052ZBMC Remedy is a powerful and amazing tool which is used by the whole organization. It is one of those critical applications on which operations run. Each and every activity is tracked and managed by the Remedy tool. IT and Non-IT operations are carried by this tool. It is widely used software across the IT Industry.,Remedy tool is used for incident management and there are several categories bound with SLAs(Service level agreement) which ensures the closures.
It is also used for change management across the organization for different environments which make sure all the processes are followed.
It has a knowledge article section where KBs are generated for known issues which are handy for Business as usual.,Sometimes it is hard to mention details when several other activities are happening and we need to refresh the page as by that time we lost the data we entered.
It could use a light version like Angular JS or React JS so the server load gets reduce.
There is no chat facility provided, if it is possible,I reckon it will better facilitate the incident management.,10,The return of investment is there for sure, as it is the most reliable application where the organization's National Operation Centre can work upon.
It is impossible to track several changes happening every day but this tool makes it possible,

The main usage scenario is incident management, work orders, and change requests. Remedy facilitates the flow of approvals through the organization hierarchy. Remedy integrates the change management calendar and workforce load. KPI (key performance indicators) are easily exported from the Remedy system.
The system includes a notification system to issue email and SMS alerts based on the level of criticality. We integrated Remedy with other IT monitoring system, where alerts are translated to work orders and assigned to the specific team.,Integration with monitoring software like SolarWinds. where Remedy can transform notifications to work orders and assign to respective teams.
Detailed Customization capability to fit the exact needs of the organization.
Change management calendar, which integrates change orders from all organization departments and facilitates the scheduling process of project managers.
It can be offered as a cloud-based service, where you don't need to worry about server maintenance or database backup.,Customization can be lengthy due to the numerous features included in the software.
New staff members require some sort of hands-on training to get to know all the use capabilities.
The analytics can be improved to include forecasts and trend analysis.
Expensive compared to competitors.,9,With the KPIs exported and reviewed semi-annually or quarterly the management can spot and attend to root causes affecting operations.
No more missed or forgotten tickets for work orders by the team - increased efficiency and performance.

It is used by our service desk team and the entire organization uses it for any help on IT services. It helps us in effective service desk management and also categorizes tickets while following the standards of ITIL. It maintains a proper hierarchy and keeps KPIs and best practices intact! Certainly one of the most used tools around.,It helps in reduce ticket volume and faster resolution of tickets with a lot of integration
It helps create proper hierarchies and helps categorize the tickets properly
It helps take advantage of all of our existing best practice reports, KPIs, and other artifacts,I have found it to be a little slower in performance with some minor glitches sometimes
Configurations can be complicated and to use it to the max, very good knowledge of tool integration is needed
Support can be better at times (but has been good mostly),10,It can be quite expensive so a consultant should be hired to analyze what additional modules are needed
The ROI is fantastic for large organization only as it is very helpful for large volume tickets and gives more in return and justify its cost
Smaller accounts should consider the options carefully before choosing BMC is what I personally feel,Jira Service Desk,Jira Service Desk, Freshservice, OpenText Digital Asset Management for SAP SolutionsAnkit ParikhBMC helps faster resolution of issues2019-02-23T22:10:54.946ZWe are using BMC remedy for service management.

Third-party Reviews,No ideas in the near futureVerified UserBMC Remedy: A first look at an ITIL Implementation from an IT professional who uses it constantly2018-08-20T19:31:16.457ZCurrently, Remedy is used by the entire IT department to capture the entire ITIL Landscape. What this means in layman terms is that Remedy is responsible for CRUD against everything from Asset Management, to Incident and Change Management.
I say that Remedy is used by the IT department, but other departments also use Remedy- Client Services (the spear-tip of the IT department), the help desk, and other internal departments (power, scheduling, etc) also use remedy to manage their workflow, thought IT is Lion's share of the load.,Remedy is great for housing much of the ITIL process in one System: if you want a complete package with every bell and every whistle, Remedy is for you
Remedy breaks down the functions of ITIL into "consoles": separate areas of the System, that allow one to focus on Changes, Incidents, Assets, etc
The interface is VERY compatible with legacy web browser tech: The last surviving member of the browser wars is still the favorite for remedy users: IE 11,The interface (ironically). My company has made an attempt to replace the "classic" Remedy interface with some more functional, modern, but Remedy set to a particular look and feel (and consequently, functionality)
The API is hidden from the user: There exists an API for Remedy, that would make my job TONS easier, as I like to perform actions on Remedy in bulk (and therefore - programmatically). Exposing a user API is very much mainstream these days, so Remedy relying on its interface to perform ITIL is very limiting
By extension- the result of Remedy's interface is that it becomes very "click-happy": little buttons, and links stuffed into every corner of the screen, with options API logically together. API is old, but it still feels very rushed.
The primary tool for most of my ITIL operations is: searching. API of searching goes into finding assets, checking in equipment, finding users, tickets, etc. What Remedy could very much benefit from a "Google" -like interface,5,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.,,Redmine, OneNote, Microsoft SQL ServerVerified UserBMC Remedy is Your Ticket2018-10-18T20:10:05.235ZWe have implemented BMC Remedy to track assets, incidents, changes, problems, and we also use several other smaller modules. It is used throughout the organization, although certain departments (e.g., help desk, reporting teams, etc.) use it more than others. BMC Remedy gives us all of the above information in one centralized, inter-linked hub. It allows different defined groups to have varying levels of access in order to provide the correct level of detail so that they can perform their tasks as needed.,Again, the ability to have all of the information (changes, incidents, problems, etc.) in one place is paramount.
The built-in ability to run simple reports is quite valuable.
The ability to interact with Crystal Reports makes BMC Remedy an even more data mining and reporting tool.
Once users are trained properly, it allows for the quick and easy creation of new issues.,Sometimes it takes a long time to get reports from the inventories.
Complicated reports, or those that pull a lot of data, can bog the system down. Some of that is due to proper user training.
Customizing the application to meet your exact needs can cause it to become difficult to upgrade when future versions are released.,9,BMC Remedy has a large and established user base, and the experience that you glean from using it will easily translate to almost anywhere.
It can increase your organization's productivity by improving your ticketing methodology and increasing the level of collaboration between various groups.
It allowed us to align our organization with ITIL best practices,JIRA Service Desk, Samanage and Spiceworks,SAP Crystal, ASP.NET, Microsoft AccessVerified UserRemedy Force is a Ticketing system for Work2017-11-27T16:17:34.880ZOur company is using BMC Remedy to manage Incidents (Tickets), Service Requests, Change Requests, Tasks, and Problems. All of our businesspeople and salespeople are used to creating support issues within BMC remedy tickets. We are using Remedy force for our ticketing system for Salesforce technical related issues, Aspect product issues, and Apttus related issues.,I like the auto update, the information in the ticket when we respond to the email looks and feels really good. And there are many different sections like, Incident details, Client details, Status details, Assignment details, date details and so on, which you can go to directly instead of searching within the whole page.
It is easy to implement our business requirements In BMC Remedy.
On the integration side, the implementation of the REST api has simplified integration to other systems like Salesforce CRM and Apttus CPQ...,There is no advanced case management in BMC Remedy IT Service Management Suite, like auto closer and escalation process like we have in Salesforce, which needs to improve.
BMC Remedy IT Service Management Suite is missing some key features that would make life easier, such as being able to more easily copy tickets and search for tickets.
Technology is slow.,9,When I was in Management discussion calls, and all the team is happy while using BMC Remedy so I don't find any specific negative impact on our organization.
I really enjoy Smart IT as the tool of choice for our incident management team.
Visibility of tickets is key. All support staff users can see tickets in consoles they have access to.,Salesforce,Salesforce CommunitiesMallesh KanakamITSM Senior Consultant2018-03-16T14:49:52.556ZThe ITSM Suite was implemented to cover incident, problem and change process aligned to ITIL best practices. The Service Request Management solution was implemented also, to cover many of the requests manage across the entire organization.,Applications aligned to ITIL best practices with many of the most common needs covered out of the box.
Integration between applications (Incident, problem and change management) makes it really easy create the relationships between these entities.
Using the Action Requests (AR) system the application is highly customizable , assuming an appropriate level of knowledge of developing applications using AR System.,In Remedy you can do many things but you need to built them first. Many of the Integrations depend on external components and the architecture used to implement the solution.
The cloud-based solution should be improved to work in the same way as the on-premise solution.
To accomplish minor changes on the appearance of the forms you need a lot of training.,9,The time required to implement the on-premise solution is too high and reduces ROI.
Once you implemented the system, if you have the knowledge internally in your company, you can expand to other internal needs using the AR System as workflow engine to develop custom applications.
You are assigned floating license that let the organization share license pools, thus reducing cost.,ServiceNow,ServiceNow, Remedyforce, FreshserviceAntonio AcostaBMC/Remedy means it has the solution2017-11-07T19:49:06.914ZBMC ITSM is currently used across the US by more than 10 regions. The whole toolset helps in ease of use (email ticket submissions), identifying trouble areas and tracking work and customer communications/trending report automatically sent to customers through email. Managers can easily track who is working on what problem(s).,Notification of new ticket, group notifications and individual are of great helps to support personnel. Depending on ticket volume notifications need to be tweaked with a simple config change to reduce the amount.
Ticket visibility/tracking by management/group leads for trending or volume down to groups or individual.
Ease of modification of any ITSM module on the needs of the company or group or between modules for any functional need.
Ease of integration with most third party vendors and external databases.
Ease of creating standalone BMC applications for application need within extremely tight schedules.,Part of the setup for Asset and CMDB is hard and time-consuming. But, is worth it.
Most companies do not use the tool correctly as they do not want to go through the steps to set up CMDB, they say it is too hard and takes resources.
Because of the openness of the system, it allows you to not use the system correctly. Example, many companies I have dealt with only want to use the Asset/CMDB as a placeholder for Assets, sort of like an expensive Excel document. BMC allows this.,9,Identifying trends quickly is a big deal and gets people back to work quickly.
The identifying trends is a big deal but it's useless if you do not have the capability to notify support staff. BMC/Remedy/ITSM has a very reliable notification system and is very customization.
The fact that BMC/Remedy/ITSM is customized for every need and is able to create standalone applications, helps ROI.
I have seen companies and the government spend millions of dollars on applications for very specify jobs, that BMC/Remedy/ITSM could do by customizing ITSM or creating a standalone Remedy application at a fraction of the cost. Plus there is no need to pay for support for the other application.,ServiceNow,30000,3,Customer satisfaction. Resolving customer issues from email submit to correct assignment of support staff from the correct location.

Ordering new personnel PC, installing required software and needed software to complete job. Decommissioning PSs, systems and equipment.,Created gateways or portals to run other web pages from within Remedy. Instead of have many application Windows open everything from one or two Remedy browser tabs open
Created a customer standalone Heads Up Display (HUD), to show on screen in a help desk, that showed critical issues, changes going on across all regions. This also helped trending as the help desk could see something going on across regions. This accesses all changes, work orders and incident and displays them in a simplified table, that could scroll by region or all regions at once.,Yes,Product Features

It allows users to submit and manage change requests and associated tasks/jobs. We also previously used BMC Remedy for our Help Desk functions but we migrated that to a different product last year.

Over time, we got behind on releases due to limitations with customizations we made to the application. The product then became out of support and completely out of date, and we had to replace
Overall ROI was minimal and once the product was out of date we found more value in other tools,Ivanti,LANDesk Service Desk, LANDesk IT Asset Management Suite, CA APM, MS SharePointVerified UserGood on prem ITSM solution - Expect incremental improvements2017-03-30T21:45:33.309ZWe are using BMC Remedy ITSM for Service Desk, Change Management, Problem Management, Service Request Management and CMDB. It addresses the problem of providing an easy method for customers to report service outages as well as providing support personnel a tool for resolving service outages. The tool also is integrated to our monitoring service and creates incidents as alerts are raised. It is also center in our strategy to provide an easy way to request services from the IT department. The CMDB is central in our discovery strategy.,For service request management, we use the SRM product which gives a common interface for our customers to request services. We are able to easily add the services to the catalog and configure how the created request will be routed to the appropriate group for delivery. This has shown to reduce churn in the request process and reduce cycle time in delivery.
Incident management has show to be effective at routing cases to the appropriate support group for resolution.
Change management has proven to provide the mechanism for a change control process for organizing those changes and having affected stakeholders discuss the changes before implementation. This has headed off potential service outages from collisions.,The quality control on the product from the vendor needs improvement. While upgrading to newer versions (9.1) has provided additional features which have been beneficial, the cycle of product defects uncovered and worked through to resolution has been tiring. Having this product without a good support agreement is not advisable.
Technology is slow to evolve. The product is just now exposing mobile and REST interfaces, something the market has adopted some time ago.
User interfaces that do not embrace effective bulk management. Most of the interfaces are driven from a manual perspective. When used in a global company with sites around the world, this becomes burdensome.,7,Our service desk has been able to scale and our service offerings to our customers has improved over the in house created application that it was replaced by.
We are able to monitor our SLA agreements through the SLM module which has helped improve service delivery.
Change management has been more effective in coordinating change, partly through the tool and partly through service improvement efforts.,,Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, Visual Studio IDEJim CoryatBMC Asset Management: Works well if you already have Remedy configured2017-04-04T16:04:31.177ZWe currently use Asset Management to track user / client hardware, certificates, and contracts.,Owner / other relationship values for hardware

We use it because it follows the ITIL process but is flexible enough for the company to make the processes their own.
We have in one of our companies used SMART IT and MYIT out of the box and it works great so far. We will be looking into Smart Reporting in the next few weeks to see what that can offer.,Integrate well with other systems
MYIT is a fantastic new interface for users
I really enjoy SmartIT as the tool of choice for incident management
Very robust system,The ITSM suite has some really poor screens compared to the new SmartIT suite

BMC Remedy IT Service Management has given us a lot of room to customize to the businesses needs and allowed us to do things no other application would let us do.,.Very customizable
Based on ITIL so correct processes are there OOTB.
Easy enough to implement with very little effort.,Support can be a little slow at times.

All support staff users can see tickets in consoles they have access to.
Remedy is a tool which empowers the company to streamline processes and implement a framework, such as ITIL in the case of Remedy.,Some consoles are not built out as much as others. We do our own development and these bugs are more visible to us.,7,It has allowed us to create service requests that have decreased the turnaround time for employee reimbursements.,Ticket Tracker,BMC Atrium CMDB, BMC Remedy Asset Management, BMC Remedy IT Service Management SuiteCrystal CrenshawRemedy ITSM - Solid product2016-07-13T17:03:49.456ZOur whole organization is using Remedy for several things. We use it to manage incidents, work orders, change requests, problem management, known errors, and for the CMDB for asset management. There are plans to use it also for release management but have not gotten to that point yet. With the CMDB it allows us to have a central asset management point that we can use to leverage how incident are assigned. Remedy also gives us an out of the box way to deal with our change request process which is very helpful.,Remedy integrates very well with many products so you can have incidents coming from many sources directly into Remedy.
Service requests are something that Remedy does well. Once setup a user just has to answer some pre-determined questions and a work order/inicident/change request will automatically be created and populated based on the answers provided so business end users do not need a lot of training in order to open requests.
Incident/problem management is a strong point in the Remedy system. Users can open problems directly from the incident ticket with the click of a button and it allows users to track incidents against problems fairly well.,Service request creation needs some work. Some areas of service request creation like dealing with complex approvals need to be done better in future versions. Also, dealing with formatting of the service request screen needs to be improved.
I found that reporting is a little lacking. For example, we have people requesting reports based on the audit log and we seem to be unable to do it as we did in a previous version of Remedy
We also found that it is not easy to correct things once mistakes have been made. For example, if somebody happens to close an incorrect task there is no easy way to just go and open up the closed task.,9,I don't have any hard numbers for this but without Remedy notifying people with incident tickets about issues we would not be in the position that we are.
Our company has over a 99.99% up time and part of it is due to the Remedy system notifying people of possible issues before it causes a downtime.
Thanks to Remedy's change request process it has allowed our company to make changes with the confidence that everything will go as planned.,,HP SiteScope, HP Business Process Monitor, Control-MDave CampbellBMC Remedy is the backbone for process maturity and capability.2016-04-14T19:28:46.534ZOur IT organization uses Remedy to manage our incidents, work requests and changes. In addition our business partners use Remedy Change Management and Work Orders to manage business processes. The processes and workflow in Remedy allow us to build repeatable IT and business processes but also provide us the tools and flexibility to modify and improve those processes over time.,Rigid enforcement of processes rules and the ability to audit and report on them.
Out of the box alignment with ITIL processes.
Remedy is easy to customize to meet specific business needs.,It is much better today, but I still think there is room to improve the upgrade and installation--it just seems to take forever.
I'd like to see BMC provide more real world configuration out of the box. It is a little overwhelming to someone who is new to the system to have to configure it from scratch.,9,BMC ITSM has allowed us to focus on improving our incident resolution process and reduce our incident backlog significantly.
The Change Management application makes it possible for our business users to actively manage business related changes while providing the deep auditing capability we need.,ServiceNow,MS SharePoint, Microsoft ExchangeMark ArbuthnotThe "Remedy" for your ITIL based solution2016-04-13T19:39:55.542ZWe currently use it just for our IT for change, incident, work order, problem and asset management. However, we are shortly rolling out MyIT for non-IT users to be onboarded for self service applications.We are able to use it to tie in with our service vendor for changes and incident management via web and email services.,Enterprise level configuration and power. Very customizable and adapts very well to changes in our infrastructure.
Flexible ITIL solution. With the ability to customize rules and configurations, we can make it work well with how we currently implement ITIL in our corporation.
Self service management. By using Atrium Integrator and Atrium Orchestrator, it can help reduce the amount of workload on the IT Service Desk.,Custom applications can be made but they require a lot of work to maintain.
You must take care when adding custom roles to the application. When you install things like Virtual Chat, it has pre-defined role IDs, which if you have inadvertently used, it overwrites your own roles. There is no comprehensive list of used role IDs, so it's "buyer beware" when you use them.,9,It has helped to bring all of our IT into alignment and methodologies when it comes to change management.
With MyIT and Remedy 9, we are finally able to onboard our non-IT users and provide self service options that are not overwhelming in an IT based world.,Jira,BMC Remedy Asset Management, BMC Atrium CMDB,300,6,Change Request management

It helped reduce the number of applications for service support and operation within the organization. We have a single console as well as single tool to create workflows. It also reduced the operational cost of other applications by automating certain processes.,Best aligned ITIL process - we were able to align our own process without much customization. Tight integration with all modules reduces the data redundancy and duplicate work.
We can perform any kind of actions and intelligent work to be carried out by the tool such as validation, and enforcing the policies to be followed etc.
You can develop any application on ARS platform which is an advantage.,Users should be able to customize their home page as per their need.
There are so many fields not being utilized properly. We need to understand the tool deeply to explore certain capabilities. Most of the valuable features and how to configure those are not available freely.
When a customer purchases the application, there is a need for an expert team to come and do the implementation. There should be a possibility for customers to use features like pre-stack implementation with customer data so that it will reduce the implementation time line as well as enable certain features when required.

BMC Remedy tool for ITSM
BMC Remedy is a powerful and amazing tool which is used by the whole organization. It is one of those critical applications on which operations run. Each and every activity is tracked and managed by the Remedy tool. IT and Non-IT operations are carried by this tool. It is widely used software across the IT Industry.
- Remedy tool is used for incident management and there are several categories bound with SLAs(Service level agreement) which ensures the closures.
- It is also used for change management across the organization for different environments which make sure all the processes are followed.
- It has a knowledge article section where KBs are generated for known issues which are handy for Business as usual.
- Sometimes it is hard to mention details when several other activities are happening and we need to refresh the page as by that time we lost the data we entered.
- It could use a light version like Angular JS or React JS so the server load gets reduce.
- There is no chat facility provided, if it is possible,I reckon it will better facilitate the incident management.
At the organization I work for, BMC Remedy is primarily used by the Division of Information Technology. The main usage scenario is incident management, work orders, and change requests. Remedy facilitates the flow of approvals through the organization hierarchy. Remedy integrates the change management calendar and workforce load. KPI (key performance indicators) are easily exported from the Remedy system.
The system includes a notification system to issue email and SMS alerts based on the level of criticality. We integrated Remedy with other IT monitoring system, where alerts are translated to work orders and assigned to the specific team.
The system includes a notification system to issue email and SMS alerts based on the level of criticality. We integrated Remedy with other IT monitoring system, where alerts are translated to work orders and assigned to the specific team.
- Integration with monitoring software like SolarWinds. where Remedy can transform notifications to work orders and assign to respective teams.
- Detailed Customization capability to fit the exact needs of the organization.
- Change management calendar, which integrates change orders from all organization departments and facilitates the scheduling process of project managers.
- It can be offered as a cloud-based service, where you don't need to worry about server maintenance or database backup.
- Customization can be lengthy due to the numerous features included in the software.
- New staff members require some sort of hands-on training to get to know all the use capabilities.
- The analytics can be improved to include forecasts and trend analysis.
- Expensive compared to competitors.
We have BMC as an IT service manager ( ITSM), it is used for ticketing purpose. It is used by our service desk team and the entire organization uses it for any help on IT services. It helps us in effective service desk management and also categorizes tickets while following the standards of ITIL. It maintains a proper hierarchy and keeps KPIs and best practices intact! Certainly one of the most used tools around.
- It helps in reduce ticket volume and faster resolution of tickets with a lot of integration
- It helps create proper hierarchies and helps categorize the tickets properly
- It helps take advantage of all of our existing best practice reports, KPIs, and other artifacts
- I have found it to be a little slower in performance with some minor glitches sometimes
- Configurations can be complicated and to use it to the max, very good knowledge of tool integration is needed
- Support can be better at times (but has been good mostly)

BMC helps faster resolution of issues
We are using BMC remedy for service management. We are leveraging automated assignments and redirecting the tickets, reducing the manual effort.
- Automated assignments are very helpful.
- Reporting is very good.
- I don't see any major improvements, but having more flexibility in ticket auto assignments would help.

BMC Remedy: A first look at an ITIL Implementation from an IT professional who uses it constantly
Currently, Remedy is used by the entire IT department to capture the entire ITIL Landscape. What this means in layman terms is that Remedy is responsible for CRUD against everything from Asset Management, to Incident and Change Management.
I say that Remedy is used by the IT department, but other departments also use Remedy- Client Services (the spear-tip of the IT department), the help desk, and other internal departments (power, scheduling, etc) also use remedy to manage their workflow, thought IT is Lion's share of the load.

- Remedy is great for housing much of the ITIL process in one System: if you want a complete package with every bell and every whistle, Remedy is for you
- Remedy breaks down the functions of ITIL into "consoles": separate areas of the System, that allow one to focus on Changes, Incidents, Assets, etc
- The interface is VERY compatible with legacy web browser tech: The last surviving member of the browser wars is still the favorite for remedy users: IE 11
- The interface (ironically). My company has made an attempt to replace the "classic" Remedy interface with some more functional, modern, but Remedy set to a particular look and feel (and consequently, functionality)
- The API is hidden from the user: There exists an API for Remedy, that would make my job TONS easier, as I like to perform actions on Remedy in bulk (and therefore - programmatically). Exposing a user API is very much mainstream these days, so Remedy relying on its interface to perform ITIL is very limiting
- By extension- the result of Remedy's interface is that it becomes very "click-happy": little buttons, and links stuffed into every corner of the screen, with options API logically together. API is old, but it still feels very rushed.
- The primary tool for most of my ITIL operations is: searching. API of searching goes into finding assets, checking in equipment, finding users, tickets, etc. What Remedy could very much benefit from a "Google" -like interface

BMC Remedy is Your Ticket
We have implemented BMC Remedy to track assets, incidents, changes, problems, and we also use several other smaller modules. It is used throughout the organization, although certain departments (e.g., help desk, reporting teams, etc.) use it more than others. BMC Remedy gives us all of the above information in one centralized, inter-linked hub. It allows different defined groups to have varying levels of access in order to provide the correct level of detail so that they can perform their tasks as needed.
- Again, the ability to have all of the information (changes, incidents, problems, etc.) in one place is paramount.
- The built-in ability to run simple reports is quite valuable.
- The ability to interact with Crystal Reports makes BMC Remedy an even more data mining and reporting tool.
- Once users are trained properly, it allows for the quick and easy creation of new issues.
- Sometimes it takes a long time to get reports from the inventories.
- Complicated reports, or those that pull a lot of data, can bog the system down. Some of that is due to proper user training.
- Customizing the application to meet your exact needs can cause it to become difficult to upgrade when future versions are released.

Remedy Force is a Ticketing system for Work
Our company is using BMC Remedy to manage Incidents (Tickets), Service Requests, Change Requests, Tasks, and Problems. All of our businesspeople and salespeople are used to creating support issues within BMC remedy tickets. We are using Remedy force for our ticketing system for Salesforce technical related issues, Aspect product issues, and Apttus related issues.
- I like the auto update, the information in the ticket when we respond to the email looks and feels really good. And there are many different sections like, Incident details, Client details, Status details, Assignment details, date details and so on, which you can go to directly instead of searching within the whole page.
- It is easy to implement our business requirements In BMC Remedy.
- On the integration side, the implementation of the REST api has simplified integration to other systems like Salesforce CRM and Apttus CPQ...
- There is no advanced case management in BMC Remedy IT Service Management Suite, like auto closer and escalation process like we have in Salesforce, which needs to improve.
- BMC Remedy IT Service Management Suite is missing some key features that would make life easier, such as being able to more easily copy tickets and search for tickets.
- Technology is slow.

ITSM Senior Consultant
The ITSM Suite was implemented to cover incident, problem and change process aligned to ITIL best practices. The Service Request Management solution was implemented also, to cover many of the requests manage across the entire organization.
- Applications aligned to ITIL best practices with many of the most common needs covered out of the box.
- Integration between applications (Incident, problem and change management) makes it really easy create the relationships between these entities.
- Using the Action Requests (AR) system the application is highly customizable , assuming an appropriate level of knowledge of developing applications using AR System.
- In Remedy you can do many things but you need to built them first. Many of the Integrations depend on external components and the architecture used to implement the solution.
- The cloud-based solution should be improved to work in the same way as the on-premise solution.
- To accomplish minor changes on the appearance of the forms you need a lot of training.

BMC/Remedy means it has the solution
BMC ITSM is currently used across the US by more than 10 regions. The whole toolset helps in ease of use (email ticket submissions), identifying trouble areas and tracking work and customer communications/trending report automatically sent to customers through email. Managers can easily track who is working on what problem(s).
- Notification of new ticket, group notifications and individual are of great helps to support personnel. Depending on ticket volume notifications need to be tweaked with a simple config change to reduce the amount.
- Ticket visibility/tracking by management/group leads for trending or volume down to groups or individual.
- Ease of modification of any ITSM module on the needs of the company or group or between modules for any functional need.
- Ease of integration with most third party vendors and external databases.
- Ease of creating standalone BMC applications for application need within extremely tight schedules.
- Part of the setup for Asset and CMDB is hard and time-consuming. But, is worth it.
- Most companies do not use the tool correctly as they do not want to go through the steps to set up CMDB, they say it is too hard and takes resources.
- Because of the openness of the system, it allows you to not use the system correctly. Example, many companies I have dealt with only want to use the Asset/CMDB as a placeholder for Assets, sort of like an expensive Excel document. BMC allows this.

BMC for Change Managment/ITSM
We use BMC Remedy for Change Management across the entire organization. It allows users to submit and manage change requests and associated tasks/jobs. We also previously used BMC Remedy for our Help Desk functions but we migrated that to a different product last year. BMC Remedy has been used by my organization for over 10 years.
- Management of change requests including approvals, scheduling and completing the related tasks
- Ability for users to approve items via email and mobile devices
- Allow users to view data/reports easily
- Expandability is limited and once you make certain customizations the upgrade process can become difficult or impossible
- Relationships between Configuration Items and Changes is clunky and difficult to setup/maintain
- Service Desk functionality is not as robust as other tools and does not allow for easy configurations/customizations
We are using BMC Remedy ITSM for Service Desk, Change Management, Problem Management, Service Request Management and CMDB. It addresses the problem of providing an easy method for customers to report service outages as well as providing support personnel a tool for resolving service outages. The tool also is integrated to our monitoring service and creates incidents as alerts are raised. It is also center in our strategy to provide an easy way to request services from the IT department. The CMDB is central in our discovery strategy.
- For service request management, we use the SRM product which gives a common interface for our customers to request services. We are able to easily add the services to the catalog and configure how the created request will be routed to the appropriate group for delivery. This has shown to reduce churn in the request process and reduce cycle time in delivery.
- Incident management has show to be effective at routing cases to the appropriate support group for resolution.
- Change management has proven to provide the mechanism for a change control process for organizing those changes and having affected stakeholders discuss the changes before implementation. This has headed off potential service outages from collisions.
- The quality control on the product from the vendor needs improvement. While upgrading to newer versions (9.1) has provided additional features which have been beneficial, the cycle of product defects uncovered and worked through to resolution has been tiring. Having this product without a good support agreement is not advisable.
- Technology is slow to evolve. The product is just now exposing mobile and REST interfaces, something the market has adopted some time ago.
- User interfaces that do not embrace effective bulk management. Most of the interfaces are driven from a manual perspective. When used in a global company with sites around the world, this becomes burdensome.
We currently use Asset Management to track user / client hardware, certificates, and contracts.
- Owner / other relationship values for hardware
- Great integration into the CMDB, Discovery, and other CI tools
- Audit log for hardware and configuration changes
- Poor interface, takes multiple clicks to manage simple things, looks like it was designed in late 90s
- CMDB takes years to learn / master, not a great amount of training available online (poor documentation on vendor site)

BMC Remedy ITSM Suite - IT just got GREAT!
We use it to manage all of our ITSM needs including change and problem management. We use it because it follows the ITIL process but is flexible enough for the company to make the processes their own.
We have in one of our companies used SMART IT and MYIT out of the box and it works great so far. We will be looking into Smart Reporting in the next few weeks to see what that can offer.
We have in one of our companies used SMART IT and MYIT out of the box and it works great so far. We will be looking into Smart Reporting in the next few weeks to see what that can offer.
- Integrate well with other systems
- MYIT is a fantastic new interface for users
- I really enjoy SmartIT as the tool of choice for incident management
- Very robust system
- The ITSM suite has some really poor screens compared to the new SmartIT suite
- Upgrades could be a lot easier I think with a wizard type method used

BMC ITSM Review
We use BMC Remedy IT Service Management to bridge the gap between our customers/internal users and the different services that we offer, be it to get something fixed or request something new and have full control and visibility of what is getting rolled out. BMC Remedy IT Service Management has given us a lot of room to customize to the businesses needs and allowed us to do things no other application would let us do.
- .Very customizable
- Based on ITIL so correct processes are there OOTB.
- Easy enough to implement with very little effort.
- Support can be a little slow at times.
- Some errors are very vague.
- Still very clunky look and feel but this is slowly being rectified with SmartIT.

BMC Remedy ITSM Suite - Check It Out!!
My company purchased BMC's Remedy ITSM Suite in hopes of standardizing processes and visibility of tickets.
- Visibility of tickets is key. All support staff users can see tickets in consoles they have access to.
- Remedy is a tool which empowers the company to streamline processes and implement a framework, such as ITIL in the case of Remedy.
- Some consoles are not built out as much as others. We do our own development and these bugs are more visible to us.

Remedy ITSM - Solid product
Our whole organization is using Remedy for several things. We use it to manage incidents, work orders, change requests, problem management, known errors, and for the CMDB for asset management. There are plans to use it also for release management but have not gotten to that point yet. With the CMDB it allows us to have a central asset management point that we can use to leverage how incident are assigned. Remedy also gives us an out of the box way to deal with our change request process which is very helpful.
- Remedy integrates very well with many products so you can have incidents coming from many sources directly into Remedy.
- Service requests are something that Remedy does well. Once setup a user just has to answer some pre-determined questions and a work order/inicident/change request will automatically be created and populated based on the answers provided so business end users do not need a lot of training in order to open requests.
- Incident/problem management is a strong point in the Remedy system. Users can open problems directly from the incident ticket with the click of a button and it allows users to track incidents against problems fairly well.
- Service request creation needs some work. Some areas of service request creation like dealing with complex approvals need to be done better in future versions. Also, dealing with formatting of the service request screen needs to be improved.
- I found that reporting is a little lacking. For example, we have people requesting reports based on the audit log and we seem to be unable to do it as we did in a previous version of Remedy
- We also found that it is not easy to correct things once mistakes have been made. For example, if somebody happens to close an incorrect task there is no easy way to just go and open up the closed task.
Our IT organization uses Remedy to manage our incidents, work requests and changes. In addition our business partners use Remedy Change Management and Work Orders to manage business processes. The processes and workflow in Remedy allow us to build repeatable IT and business processes but also provide us the tools and flexibility to modify and improve those processes over time.
- Rigid enforcement of processes rules and the ability to audit and report on them.
- Out of the box alignment with ITIL processes.
- Remedy is easy to customize to meet specific business needs.
- It is much better today, but I still think there is room to improve the upgrade and installation--it just seems to take forever.
- I'd like to see BMC provide more real world configuration out of the box. It is a little overwhelming to someone who is new to the system to have to configure it from scratch.

The "Remedy" for your ITIL based solution
We currently use it just for our IT for change, incident, work order, problem and asset management. However, we are shortly rolling out MyIT for non-IT users to be onboarded for self service applications.
We are able to use it to tie in with our service vendor for changes and incident management via web and email services.
- Enterprise level configuration and power. Very customizable and adapts very well to changes in our infrastructure.
- Flexible ITIL solution. With the ability to customize rules and configurations, we can make it work well with how we currently implement ITIL in our corporation.
- Self service management. By using Atrium Integrator and Atrium Orchestrator, it can help reduce the amount of workload on the IT Service Desk.
- Custom applications can be made but they require a lot of work to maintain.
- You must take care when adding custom roles to the application. When you install things like Virtual Chat, it has pre-defined role IDs, which if you have inadvertently used, it overwrites your own roles. There is no comprehensive list of used role IDs, so it's "buyer beware" when you use them.

Remedy, the all around king of asset management
BMC Remedy Asset Management is used by our whole company to track all PC's, tablets, and cell phone assets. It allows us to always keep and up to date database of all our assets, either deployed, spare or end of life devices. It also allows us to properly track change control requests.
- Asset Management
- Integration with other software
- Easy to use interface
- The layout design of the interface could use upgrading
- The ability to generate alerts would also be nice
- The reporting system is now old and needs and easier way to write IFTTT scenarios

Remedy for Service Management
It's being used throughout the organization. It helped reduce the number of applications for service support and operation within the organization. We have a single console as well as single tool to create workflows. It also reduced the operational cost of other applications by automating certain processes.
- Best aligned ITIL process - we were able to align our own process without much customization. Tight integration with all modules reduces the data redundancy and duplicate work.
- We can perform any kind of actions and intelligent work to be carried out by the tool such as validation, and enforcing the policies to be followed etc.
- You can develop any application on ARS platform which is an advantage.
- Users should be able to customize their home page as per their need.
- There are so many fields not being utilized properly. We need to understand the tool deeply to explore certain capabilities. Most of the valuable features and how to configure those are not available freely.
- When a customer purchases the application, there is a need for an expert team to come and do the implementation. There should be a possibility for customers to use features like pre-stack implementation with customer data so that it will reduce the implementation time line as well as enable certain features when required.
- Upgrade path should be configured as a wizard where all required steps should be followed with the upgrade utility. Current process is too complex.
We use BMC remedy across the organization. It basically coveres our service management portfolio activities:
- Working with customers and suppliers to reduce unnecessary ticket volumes
- Simplifying and standardizing processes, and rolling out best practices globally
- Streamlined organisation structure and operating model
- Deploying a toolset and supporting inventory that puts our organization ahead of the competition, and provides a faster, more automated journey for customers and radically reducing the cost base
- Can be easily implemented for huge organizations
- Scalability and simplification of processes
- Hassle free usage for end users
- Maintenance and operating costs are less
- Increase the flexibility for integration with external products
- Enhancing the UI
- Simplification of process w.r.t modules like Change and Release management

Working with Remedy, as user and as consultant
Remedy ITSM Suite helps us with control. It has out-of-the-box functionalities and processes to aligns us with best practices for incidents, problems and change management. It also allows you to create new workflows, and new applications to match your organization’s procedures and needs.
We use BMC Remedy IT Service Management Suite in two major ways:
- Support our final customer with Remedy
- Internal requests between departments: 1.Our customers enter an online request management page where they select the request type, and the request goes to the defined support group where they review and answer our customer needs. They document this in the same Remedy system to notify the customer. 2. When someone needs helps with computers and systems they open a request.
- ITIL alligned process
- Web based
- Easy to install, easy to confiugre
- High computer resources needed, specially RAM
- Not easy to customize. A simple configuration method to enable a few of new fields would be great.
- There are always bugs, should test a little lot more.
