“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.

“You can do better... ”
Transition from bare metal to containerization has been rocky. The technical support team often disappoints. The releases for on prem don't seem to be tested and are wrought with issues. We have to keep and maintain a testing environment to run through a new install multiple times to trap for all potential issues that may compromise the integrity of our prod environment... which doubles infrastructure costs. I can understand the occasional bug or issue here and there but... for a product this expensive... I have higher quality expectations.
All that being said I am seeing improvements with each new release and I'm hopeful for the future... and I do understand the support team is likely under a lot of pressure and understaffed/underappreciated. This is likely a leadership issue... nothing to do with the "front line" folks.

Longtime ITSM Admin sees Helix SaaS and addition of Helix GPT agents as serious competition for Service Now
BMC Helix has been a valuable partner in helping us achieve our Service Management goals. We had a rough start with them due to them transitioning their organization transitioning to Helix, but things have gotten much better. With the new Helix GPT offering, we are excited to take our Service Management experience to a new level with our no-IT community. I believe that Helix GPT's agents will be a game changer for Helix. - SALES MANAGER50M-1B USDConsumer GoodsReview Source

I can't say enough about how much Helix has transformed the way we work. From consolidating our service catalogs to rerouting our low level tickets to our Helix Virtual Agent chatbot, this tool has really come a long way. With the newer agentic features, automation has become quicker.
