“Ongoing Support and Customization Challenges in Migrating BHCO On-Premises”

3.0
Feb 26, 2026
The BMC team is responsive, both in addressing particular on-premises customization needs and also in ongoing support. Some things are not completely satisfying, both in terms of support answers and the need to tailor the latest BHCO application suite to an on-premises solution. We have migrated to BHCO, but with considerable timelines and ongoing needed attention. The product seemed to rolled out for mostly an SaaS 'subscriber' installation.

BMC Helix Observability & AIOps Likes & Dislikes

Like

1. The best thing about the service is the commitment that BMC gives as they render service to ensure we get the best usage out of the tool. 2. I like the AIOps cababilites. BMC seems to be a front runner when it comes to leveraging AI logic in their observability tool. Service Mapping gives the customer a broader view of the application landscape, helping us to indentify the root cause of our service outage. 3. The ease of integration with 3rd party tools for end-to-end insights has been a game changer. Our company tends to acquire companies on a regular basis. This was a challenge in the past, as we had to determine the best course of action to get these acquired companies integrated. With the introduction of intelligent integration from BMC, this has become as easy as providing authentication. Afterwards, the magic happens.

Like

BMC Helix Continuous Optimization has been a robust data warehousing application suite. It handles a huge volume of data. The licensing count task has been improved over the older TSCO methods.

Like

Helix Continuous Optimization is a great capacity management tool - it has allowed us to develop strong capacity controls across our IT estate and the latest iterations of the tool are now allowing us to simplify and automate aspects of our reporting processes.

Dislike

1. Reporting would be one of the things I dislike about the product. I think BMC can do a better job of out of the box reporting for simple reports like top talkers, inventory, etc. 2. License management. BMC tools do not do a good job of managing licenses. This makes it very hard for customers to budget as the contract comes up for renewal. We have no idea where we stand when it comes to overages. This makes it very difficult during contract renewal time. 3. Lack of SNMP management. Although SNMP is an old protocol, there are still several devices that can only be managed/monitored via SNMP. We have stressed to BMC to add SNMP to their intelligent integration platform. This will allow BMC to ingest SNMP trap data from SNMP managed devices.

Dislike

The on-premises solution was not ready for our org's needs. The lengths of time for BMC to develop patches or workarounds in an on-prem setting. The lack of ease in finding info on the Knowledge Base and other documentation sites.

Dislike

- Supporting documentation sometimes vague or missing important detail. - The move to the latest version of the tool has blocked Helix support from being able to directly access our instance of HCO. This makes the process of identifying and fixing issues more onerous. - Historically we felt somewhat isolated as users of the HCO tooling, however this is now improving with the introduction of regular quarterly workshops with peers in other organisations.
