BMC Helix Enterprise Service Management

My main use case for BMC Helix Enterprise Service Management  is for ticketing and asset management, as well as for change management requests. I have also been optimizing other features on BMC Helix Enterprise Service Management .

For example, I use BMC Helix Enterprise Service Management when there is an issue from the user's point of view, whether on the user's side, the store, or the headquarters. Users will create a ticket and log it, and then I follow up on the issue using BMC Helix Enterprise Service Management to track it. For assets, I use it to track asset movement and to correlate any tickets if they are regarding the asset.

BMC Helix Enterprise Service Management has positively impacted my organization so far, especially for ticketing. In fact, for ticketing, I am still using it as a point of benchmark on how I service the user, whether in the stores or in the headquarters. For assets, I am still populating the data and ensuring that the asset is being properly logged and monitored.

I have seen changes in response time, efficiency, and user satisfaction since I started using BMC Helix Enterprise Service Management. I can monitor my tickets and services, and I am currently trying to minimize breaches in my SLA. I get a lot of benefits from the platform.

Almost more than ninety percent of the tickets are properly within my SLA. That is not good, as I expect ninety-nine percent of SLA, but I am slowly improving.

BMC Helix Enterprise Service Management can be improved because it has a legacy system that needs enhancement. The interface needs improvement because it is not very user-friendly. I have access to so many interfaces that sometimes it is confusing. Additionally, the AI needs to be improved as well.

The AI is still new, and how it can monitor the whole system is not as advanced as I expected. I take note mostly on the interface, because there are so many front-ends, especially for BMC Helix Enterprise Service Management. The company needs to improve it.

I have been using BMC Helix Enterprise Service Management for more than two years.

BMC Helix Enterprise Service Management is stable.

BMC Helix Enterprise Service Management's scalability is very scalable, and I can add more as needed.

The customer support is adequate and within their set SLA, but they need to be more communicative and quicker in responding to my queries.

I previously used a different solution, but it was a small one. I switched because I needed more capabilities on IT service management.

I think the experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is quite easy. The pricing is quite fair, but perhaps because I actually buy the whole module, I think for the starter, it is quite expensive. I think the company needs to separate the modules as I need them. Setup cost is acceptable, and licensing is quite easy.

I have not seen a return on investment yet because I am still in development, so I do not see any return on investment. However, I do see some monitoring capabilities. I can monitor my performance, which is quite important for me.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing BMC Helix Enterprise Service Management. I tried to use BMC Helix Enterprise Service Management.
