Overall Satisfaction with BMC Remedy IT Service Management Suite

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.
  • 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.
BMC ITSM is the most mature and proven IT service management tool available. Recent advances in the product's architecture and features make it a clear choice for a rapidly changing IT and business environment. The support and relationship resources that BMC provides give confidence that the Remedy product will continue to be the leader in the IT service management space. A lot of products can provide for process standardization but few of them can do that like Remedy and also offer the flexibility to customize and integrate with existing tools.
The Remedy ITSM Suite is a very mature, capable, scalable and customizable tool that can be readily adapted to suit just about any organization's needs. It does take a certain level of ITSM process maturity to implement because it is closely aligned with ITIL. Smaller organizations that are experiencing rapid growth may find that they are constantly having to change some of the foundational data just because they are changing so frequently. If you can get ahead of that, however, the Remedy ITSM Suite will help you to stabilize your IT processes and you will become a better business partner as a result.
