BMC Helix ITSM vs. TeamDynamix IT Service Management (ITSM)

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.

TeamDynamix is great for any organization that has established any kind of support group, whether it's in IT, project management, facilities, etc. This tool can also aid in tracking decision making with its change management abilities. The added knowledge base system is also a huge improvement to any company, as there is now a searchable database of information that use to only live in other people's minds. If you are willing to put the effort and work into the system, it can prove to be a very valuable addition to your toolbelt.

• 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.

• Integrates with external systems
• Allows for customized reports
• Provides tools to customize the product to meet your needs

• Customization can be lengthy due to the numerous features included in the software.
• New staff members require some sort of hands-on training to get to know all the use capabilities.
• The analytics can be improved to include forecasts and trend analysis.
• Expensive compared to competitors.

• Needs the ability to show ticket submitters who owns the ticket
• Needs dark mode
• Clicking on a ticket to manage opens a new window; can get lost with hundreds of open windows without knowing

It provides the tool we need and is able to be customised to meet new requirements. Cost to change in training and integrations would be considerable.

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.

for now we are satisfied. first two months 😉

could be faster. db is slower from introducing postgresql

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

Satisfied because I didn't have to do it!

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.

Because it gives the total time and fetched taking after for laborers to
give the advantageous payrolls and alter the charge sheets with correct
information and friendly tool.

unclear. lot of for less

Again, always room for improvement, but a very stable product none-the-less.

• 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

Incentivized

• We have already been able to have insight into how many tickets for service requests we do in any particular time frame. We were surprised to find that we had as many as 300 tickets on our small support team in just a month's time.
• We can centrally locate all of our how-to documents and other information that usually lives just in the memories of our employees. We have hundreds of documents that will now not be spread over Teams, workstations, and document folders but will be centrally located and searchable for years to come.
