What is our primary use case?

My main use case for BMC Helix Operations Management with AIOps is capacity management.I use BMC Helix Operations Management with AIOps for management primarily through its continuous optimization aspect, so I use it for long-term forecasting, preventative measures, and proactive problem records.I use BMC Helix Operations Management with AIOps to leverage the optimizer for predictive analytics and machine learning while working with problem management to identify root cause and resolve it.

What is most valuable?

BMC Helix Operations Management with AIOps offers the single glass pane as its best feature.The single glass pane feature in BMC Helix Operations Management with AIOps gives me an overview of where things are concerning, allowing me to drill down into finer detail about the issues and then focus my operations teams to resolve them before they impact users.Using predictive analytics and machine learning features in BMC Helix Operations Management with AIOps, particularly baseline analytics and looking at historical data and deviations from baseline, helped me identify a problem with Microsoft Defender that affected multiple customers, not just one.BMC Helix Operations Management with AIOps has positively impacted my organization by reducing our emergency changes and flipping our problem records from reactive to proactive, so we're getting to things faster before they impact users.In one specific case, we had about 80 problem records through capacity management for one customer I worked on for a number of years, where only two of them were reactive and all the rest were proactive.

BMC Helix Operations Management with AIOps could be improved with better documentation for things like Helix Dashboards.Documentation for a broader range of examples and use cases could help show what you can actually do with the power of the tool.

What is our primary use case?

I primarily use BMC Helix Operations Management with AIOps for monitoring all the servers and the entire structure of our customers.

From my perspective as a customer, especially from tool administration, what would be beneficial is having end-to-end visibility all on a single page. This is challenging to achieve with any tool, but such a feature would significantly enhance user experience.

There are two types of installations: SaaS and on-premises. The SaaS option is very straightforward, with BMC managing the infrastructure. For on-premises setups, investment in personnel for implementation is necessary.

The pricing is on the higher end due to the extensive features and delivery quality. However, it is worth the investment.

What other advice do I have?
