BMC Helix ITSM Likes & Dislikes
I like that the core modules, such as Incident, Change, Problem and Work Order, are stable and work well out of the box. The ticket console in particular is a standout. The filters are easy to manage and offer plenty of flexibility, which makes it much easier for teams to find and organise their work quickly.
Easy install e configure over a large number of endpoints. Possibility of desktop software hardening and portal to end user and report of that.
Some of the standout features would be 1) Modern SaaS platform and user experience, 2) Strong workflow structure and usability features and 3) integration and deployment.
What I dislike most is that customization relies heavily on Development Studio, which requires a lot of coding knowledge. This makes even small changes harder to manage and not very accessible for admins who aren't technical. On top of that, the BMC documentation isn't very straightforward. There is plenty of information, but it's not easy to find what you need, especially for customization work.
It's a hard learning curve, even with some material it's hard for even for a filter. consultant dependence to really learn how to use it. Even the administration may be a bit tricky.
From my team's experience with BMC Helix, we had issues with the handling of Protected-B documents, access control limitations (like granting group access to specific sections of a ticket; sensitive fields for HR), dashboards are limited and sometimes slow (not as flexible as expected and performance is slow when dealing with large volumes of data and when filtering datasets).

Reliable ITSM foundation, but customization and documentation need improvement.
Overall, my experience with ITSM has been generally positive. The core processes are stable and work as expected, which makes day-to-day use straightforward. The only downside is that system management still happens in the mid-tier, which looks and works very differently from the front-end interface, so the admin side can feel a bit disconnected and harder to navigate. - Operations AssociateGov't/PS/EdGovernmentReview Source
