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 ITSM is well suited in any business that is trying to help manage their ITIL processes (even if they don't know or have ever heard of ITIL). The power of being able to control and monitor your entire change process also helps to guide a company in proper change management practices.

  • 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.
Remedy ITSM was already in place when I started here. However, I have previously used JIRA at a previous employer. I find Remedy much more comprehensive in tracking and managing changes, incidents, and work orders.

We have been customers of BMC for well over 7 years now and our corporation is tightly integrated with BMC and multiple solutions they offer us.
Yes
Because ITSM is necessary for our business model to operate properly.
Their tech support is top notch. They respond and get back to us, even on lower level incidents and issues, very quickly. It is rare that we deal with a support technician who does not know what they are doing.
Yes
Absolutely! We have reported several issues and bug fixes to BMC and each and every one has been dealt with accordingly.
One of our team members had, inadvertently, removed permissions from some of our server teams. As a result, Tivoli was creating 15 records per incident because they did not get back the proper responses via email. BMC worked with us over the weekend to come to a resolution and determine a fix, even though it was (ultimately) our own fault for the issue.

  • I don't get paid to figure this piece out but it is a useful tool/software
BMC Remedy IT Service Management Suite has the best knowledge base of any ticketing software I have used and knowledge base is a huge part of daily use.

  • Ticketing
  • Knowledge Base
  • Functionality
  • We use it for ticketing which was its intended purpose. No other use required.
Always want to keep options open
Yes
Landesk - lack of KB functionality
  • Price
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Analyst Reports
Knowledge Base is required to ensure we all perform/meet the same standard when addressing an issue.
I would not change this action.
  • Implemented in-house
No
  • I was not around during the initial implementation
Satisfied because I didn't have to do it!
  • Self-taught
Yes, although I am probably missing out on a lot of other features since I was not shown all the features of the programs.
I didn't see or remember a lot of options for customization as far as adding additional fields or reworking the layout of the main page.
None that I can think of other than mentioned in the previous page.
No - there is no facility to customize the interface
No - we have not done any custom code
None other than mentioned earlier.
No
Don't need to occur any additional expense.
Received great service whenever it was needed.
No
Can't think of a scenario.
  • All aspects
  • Particularly knowledge base
  • Customization
Always room for improvements but its the best knowledge base and ticketing system I have used.
Again, always room for improvement, but a very stable product none-the-less.
Always enjoyed our vendor communications.
Didn't see vendor as much but enough to explain and [ask] questions or [relay] concerns I may have had.
Remedy was already implemented when I moved over as IT coordinator.
No, vendor was around as much as needed.
