The Ivanti LANDESK ITSM Service Desk, powered by Heat (formerly the LANDESK Service Desk before LANDESK and Heat became Ivanti) was the company's ITSM / ITIL offering that has now been replaced by Ivanti Neurons for ITSM, the company's modern offering.
The decision to select BMC Remedy was made prior to my employment. We did conduct an RFC process for a new ITSM platform and BMC was considered but not selected. We looked at several platforms and ended up choosing Ivanti Service Desk (previously LANDESK) due to the features, …

Chose Ivanti LANDESK Service Desk (discontinued)
We chose Ivanti because at the time we wanted an on-premises solution that was powerful and allow for easy customization. We are now open to a cloud model and will move our install to the cloud in the future. Overall we felt Ivanti was on par with the competition and offered a …

There are many ITSM platforms available - but only a very select few are true enterprise leaders. BMC Helix is one. When it comes to managing thousands of incidents daily, BMC Helix helps cut through the noise with incident correlation and predictive problem management.

I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an ITSM solution. Overall the team is very easy to work with and the solution is on par with others in the market. We have no complaints about the product and we are scaling it to meet our growing needs.

The Service Asset and Configuration Management capabilities of Helix ITSM are awesome. It can be used as a central repository for all SACM information and seamlessly integrated with Helix Discovery.
It has the most certified ITIL process modules of any ITSM system. These modules work seamlessly with each other and give you the power to manage any situation effectively.
As an Administrator of Helix ITSM you have many tools at your disposal to create customizations, workflows. BMC makes it easy to manage the system, leaving time to develop customizations and workflows.

At least Remedy is all contained in a single platform, so the interface is consistent. Also, the most heavily performed functions are generally usable. However, to use some of the more advanced modules can be a bit more cumbersome (such as Change Management and CMDB (Not Including ADDM)). So, overall BMC Remedy ITSM is better than some applications like CA SDM or HP SM, but not quite on par with ServiceNow.

Their tech support is top notch. They respond and get back to us, even on lower level incidents and issues, very quickly. It is rare that we deal with a support technician who does not know what they are doing.
the trainers dont have so much practical experiences. its mostly follow up and reading existing documentation withou own input. of course experiences people are on shore or have no free time. sad truth

I did not select Remedy myself, so I am coming in from someone who is apart of the story, from somewhere in the midway. That being said: Remedy has begun a journey of understanding the problems associated with the implementation of ITIL, and indeed ITIL itself (it is a top-down process for management of an IT department). there are many alternatives out there. One, in particular, I am keen to investigate: Redmine. But in doing so, It will be evaluated via my experience with Remedy.

They only system that I can compare against Service Desk is ConnectWise. With that in mind, I definitely see that Service Desk is much easier to maintain, design and improve. The visual representation of processes does assist with seeing how it's working. However, the window design is still severely lacking in comparison.

The ROI was fine initially as we got what we paid for and it served its purpose
Over time, we got behind on releases due to limitations with customizations we made to the application. The product then became out of support and completely out of date, and we had to replace
Overall ROI was minimal and once the product was out of date we found more value in other tools

Our Help Desk agents have been able to streamline the incident process and we were able to create template for common types of calls like lock-outs and password resets. This has saved the help desk a ton of time and helps resolve customer issues more quickly
The change management module allowed us to completely transform our process. It is now simple and intuitive to enter a change and have it approved and worked.
The CMDB module has allowed us to begin tracking our assets in one place and seeing how they relate to each other. This is something that was not available prior and it has streamlined our organization.
