I use BMC Helix ITSM for Incident Management by logging, tracking, and resolving IT issues efficiently to minimize downtime. I like that it has built-in governance features that help meet regulatory requirements while lowering the cost of IT operations.
BMC Helix ITSM is used mainly for logging tickets - incident, problem change, service request etc. I use this tool for logging tickets, pull ticket dump from Helix dashboard, incident console, Chat dashboard, agent live monitoring, inflow of chat etc. Majorly target helps us to address recurring incidents, ongoing long pending tickets view, workaround performed etc. which helps in proactive and reactive problem management with the monthly trend data. There are many scope expected like mandate KBA usage on every incident, provide clear steps to troubleshoot and fix it on the call for Service desk, user friendly search on knowledge console etc.
Pros
Incident dashboard
Live chat monitoring
Incident correlation
Incident categorisation
Reports
Cons
Knowledge base search via chatbot not up to the mark, as it gives all KBAs with has got single word keyboard and looks clumsy
When we search for major or critical incident, it shows all incidents where this master or parent incident is related or tagged, time consuming
Incident correlation dashboard can be much more clearer to understand
A lot of manual data needed to add in the incident description field even customer contact
Unable to do any customisation as and when needed
Likelihood to Recommend
BMC Helix ITSM only helps to log tickets and get statistics via Helix dashboard. It won't give you the summary of the previous ticket, we need to go through page by page to know the entire history of the ticket which is time consuming. Unable to verify information provided by users via chatbot.
On Genesys voice platform with Helix integration, for simple authentication, BMC Helix ITSM sends the token for authentication in text format whereas other 3rd party accept only json format hence unable to proceed with this integration. I feel any of the requirements that we suggest is always not possible in BMC Helix ITSM. BMC Helix ITSM should leverage other ITSM platform best practices and capabilities/features to some extent.
