What do you like best about BMC Helix Discovery?

What I like the most is the ability to quickly identify all the IT assets of your company, the time it takes to evaluate it is very fast and the program offers a lot of details; is able to identify all aspects of IT ownership, perform software modeling and provide a large amount of data. BMC Discovery also analyzes and checks the changes in software and hardware components. I also like that it does not require the user to have advanced knowledge, and that the installation and use of the software is accessible to most people (with minimal computer knowledge, of course). All communications are made through secure connections, to ensure that the security of the company is not compromised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BMC Helix Discovery?

Data could be easily configured according to specified categories. The real in-depth functionality reduces the customization for more mature and effective service. It's a quick Application Development tool with all the customization required. It's an extremely inexpensive tool as available in the market as compared to all other such tools in the market.

What do you dislike about BMC Helix Discovery?

BMC Discovery offers me a lot of auto generated mails that have stuffed my mail box with lots of irrelevant mails for me from them . There is a lack of more depth in functionality which leads to decreased handling with the lackage of benefit of better reporting for management. Still, usability is one of the highlighted issue in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5
What do you like best about BMC Helix Discovery?

The user interface is easy to use and very intuitive. Additionally, it is very simple to install, configure, and maintain, so adapting to the use of this software poses no problem.

It is the ideal tool to know even the smallest detail of the company's IT asset situation, and it provides crucial information to decide when it is necessary to renew the servers, either because they are at the end of their useful life or simply because their operation is no longer efficient. This way, costs can be saved without affecting the company's performance or security, as many of these obsolete servers could be used as backdoors, allowing unauthorized access by third parties.

What do you like best about BMC Helix Discovery?

This is an incredible program that allows you to know, practically in real-time, the status of your company's IT assets. It is surprising how quickly it analyzes and identifies changes in software and hardware components, detecting which servers have become old or inefficient, and therefore need to be replaced.

Another aspect to highlight about BMC Discovery is that, once it is running, it requires very little attention, as it performs its work almost unattended. If the initial configuration is done correctly, you can let it run, as long as its discovery tasks have been properly scheduled. After this startup, the only special care it requires will be to keep the version updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BMC Helix Discovery?

Since we deal with large amounts of data, its necessary that we have large disk space, but Comparably the disk Storage seems to be less and cannot accommodate more than 2 TB which has be improved.

The quick action from the team, like support, updating the necessary plugins and all have to be faster than now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
