"Remedy IT Service Management"
4.5/5
What do you like best about BMC Helix ITSM?

My team used Remedy IT Service Management during project and deployment planning for a very large payroll centralization project. Because we were facilitating a large enterprise deployment with multiple phases/waves (subject matter expertise did not exist in the legacy systems), my team drove the majority of the post-live support model design elements, as well as overseeing the change management activities as we planned to bring not only the customer live on the new product, but had to prepare the Help Desk to support the new systems and understand the diagnostic process for support inquires. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BMC Helix ITSM?

I noticed during a post-live volume spike that there seemed to be problems or process gaps linking enterprise tickets to the parent ticket (example: the team learned of a global configuration setting problem in the payroll system we were supporting, and after receiving the first set of calls, we continued to get inundated with new calls for the same global issue. The help desk staff seemed to have difficulty linking all calls to the parent issue, and this seemed to be an ongoing continuous education issue, because the steps were not always clear and/or intuitive in the tool directly.

"Good ticketing tool"
4/5
What do you like best about BMC Helix ITSM?

Tracking and linking with multiple systems.. even this is tracked to SAP solution manager. So what ever the values in Solution manger are created then this is helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not so user friendly and should have good knowledge to understand the tool. Suppose if there is a save button then i need to keep on searching the save button where it is. So this is not helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BMC Remedy software Review"
4/5
What do you like best about BMC Helix ITSM?

The thing that I like best about BMC Remedy software is that the main window is organized nicely. It is easy to sort by user or time last opened which can come in handy when you are dealing with a lot of requests or incidents. It also gives you the option to set a refresh interval which will automatically refresh the system and it will then not log you out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BMC Helix ITSM?

BMC Remedy software is slow and it is difficult to send emails to the customer through the software itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Remedy as bug tracking and internal help desk"
4.5/5
What do you like best about BMC Helix ITSM?

We have used Remedy as a bug tracking tool both internally within our company and also from clients. Helps us to read the clients notes for better understanding of failed examples and also gives us a flexibility to let clients see internal notes or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BMC Helix ITSM?

Charts on the home page would take lot of time to load, performance is slow when it comes to displaying the dashboard on home page. Doesn't integrate within HP ALM, since Remedy is legacy application that we have used for long time we didn't use HP ALM for defect tracking which gave us hard time to switch back between HP ALM and Remedy for creating new defects while executing test cases.
