"User friendly but need to develop"
3.5/5
What do you like best about BMC Helix Discovery?

Most important aspect I would like to share is it is comparably user friendly where as other products are not like this one. At the same time, the flexibility, security and speed are really impressive. Easy to set up and faster access. On the whole, it is one of those top products I would suggest someone with less data storage need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BMC Helix Discovery?

As I said, although this has many impressive features, the data storage of <2TB is only worry some in future. Other than this, it seems to be awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Discovering BMC"
3.5/5
What do you like best about BMC Helix Discovery?

The user interface is easy to use and very intuitive. It is also very easy to install, configure and maintain, so it is not a problem to adapt to the use of this software.

It is the ideal tool to know the situation of the company's IT asset to the smallest detail, and provides decisive information to decide when it is necessary to renew the servers, since these are at the end of their useful life or simply because their functioning is no longer efficient. This saves costs without affecting the performance or security of the company, since many of these obsolete servers could be used as backdoors, and allow unauthorized access by third parties Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BMC Helix Discovery?

There isn't anything to dislike of the Product. Nothing till now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Indeed a Discovery for Asset Management"
4/5
What do you like best about BMC Helix Discovery?

It can allow any user to connect and view the structure of company network in their schema. The UI is very intuitive and it is very secure. The cost is worth it because it provides information about renewing inefficient servers or non functional components. I believe this is good for my company's performance and security in the long run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BMC Helix Discovery?

So far I have not faced any issues. However I think storage can be improved because large companies might have appliance system disk > 2TB Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
