BMC Helix Remedyforce vs. LogMeIn Resolve

[BMC Helix Remedyforce] is probably best suited for an MSP who needs to keep multiple clients separated. If you were an internal IT department I think the additional features it has would be lost. When dealing with an MSP who needs to know what software and what issues have effected specific clients it is very well suited to do that.

I don't think I have ever encountered a scenario where LogMeIn is inappropriate. I work directly with customers 80% of the time, and even when I need to help a fellow IT professional out, LogMeIn is my go-to option. Viewing and reviewing all the units I manage is very helpful; it saves me a lot of time, especially after the frequent long-term power outages (where it surpasses the USP's protection) we often experience in our area.

• An admin user is able to quickly create a request definition with all of its components from one screen. We use to have to go to the 7 or 8 different screens to create each piece of the request definition.
• Ability to update multiple Incidents/Service Requests at once with the update button. This allows essentially an inline edit functionality within Remedyforce.
• Change management schedule is a great feature as well to be able to see how changes align and what there expected start dates/times are.

• Performs well for remote access in terms of speed - there isn't much lag on fast networks.
• Provides an easy way to share files with the client which stramlines the support process.
• GoTo Support has been responsive when I've needed help.

• The ability to monitor/regulate the volume of tickets when you integrate with your monitoring software. We have so many items that trigger alerts, creating a ticket for each is somewhat overwhelming. Would like to be able to better control when an incident should be created.
• Being able to report on Service requests and tasks together would be nice. Right now I have to do it separately as they are in different buckets, so to speak.
• Remedy console is an improvement from where it started but can still be a cleaner interface for a tech to be able to work out of for their day to day work.

• More flexibility with customizing the agent dashboard
• Change the support interface to make simultaneous remote session a bit more accessible on the left-side menu
• Include detailed instructions on the agent's screen when helping a Mac user run through all the necessary permissions needed to connect

The total amount of time spent from installation to configuration for a minimal ticketing system was 2 hours. Maintenance and customization for the application can be completed with a great amount of ease. In addition having a customer portal is an added benefit that pays for itself

I would say yes, we would definitely renew, everyone likes it in the IT dept, and there are more features we have yet to put to use. I am expanding the Windows update / Endpoint features as I get time, and the remote PowerShell console is unbeatable for me at present when facing remote computers that are not letting create a new remote PSSession.

Navigation is easy and friendly. It does almost everything, but being cloud, it gets slow. Session recording is allowed. Zoom in and out feature works very well, especially during remote sessions and multiple machine sessions simultaneously. Dual-screen monitors are accessible. East and convenient user interface. The diagnostics feature is outstanding, and it gives detailed diagnostics of the system. So these are the pros that prompt me to provide such ratings.

Usually available without a problem, although sometimes calls get dropped or users sit in empty meeting rooms while waiting for an admin to arrive, while the call is actually going on.

If you are connected to someone with proper bandwidth, there are no issues at all. With all things, if you connect to someone with dial-up (yes, it still exists), the performance is terrible.

They care about your success.

Ive used their tech support a handful of times, and each time they have been able to help me sort out any hiccups or kinks that arise. They have a resourceful knowledge base, and have experts available for training and troubleshooting. I often recommend them to my other coworkers and colleagues because of the ease of use and security

Learning industry best practices or gaining insight on them from either BMC or an implementation partner would have saved some headaches we faced after roll-out.

GoToAssist SeeIt was very easy to implement. As long as your techs have a basic understanding of most remote support tools they will be able to understand this product easily.

I previously worked with tools like Service Manager which were difficult to configure, administer and maintain. The support options were very limited. Remedyforce has local US support, dedicated reps, and a more developed infrastructure to work from to support an organization. This runs on the Salesforce platform so worrying about server failures and unscheduled outages was no longer going to be an issue for us. Self service, knowledge base, and change control were just a few highly utilized features that helped employees support themselves and automate very manual processes.

I previously used Dameware but since they came out with the new version, I find it difficult to use. Many times, it takes a long time to connect using Dameware and the added time if it connects at all adds to the user's frustration as well as my own

• Remedyforce has allowed us to eliminate other solutions that provided similar features. By now using one true ITSM we have been able to save money which in higher education is always a concern.
• The reports and dashboards allow for a birds-eye view of our daily operations and provide managers and executives the information they need to make important cost saving decisions.

• We are able to solve 99% of technical issues remotely.
• Our productivity rate has increased because we are able to conveniently seek out assistance in the matter of a few minutes.
• As this is compatible with Microsoft products like teams, this has allowed us to collaborate and save time and money by using existing software to submit tickets for assistance.
