"The product's initial setup phase is very easy.""The discovery is excellent. It is agent-based, and it can also operate without one as long as there is an inventory source, such as SCCM. It may take data from the SCCM and normalize it to provide a very clear idea of what the hardware is, what software is running on it, what versions of that software are available, when is the end-of-life, and when they are no longer supported. All of that information is available."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in terms of support.""The solution must be flexible.""The tool is very old.""Could be more user friendly for admins to manage.""I would like to have more customized reporting because the management team loves customized reports with graphs.""However, from a stability perspective, we sometimes had issues, like running out of resources, maxing out, database issues, and the server freezing out and functioning at fifty percent.""The desktop technicians face some challenges with the solution.""The product's scalability is one area with certain shortcomings that need to be considered for improvement."

More BMC Remedy Cons →

"The support is an area that can be improved. As resellers, we are doing the first-level support because we have trained certified engineers, and we provide support. Because we are in India and they do not have a support center in India, the turnaround time for tickets could be improved. We have to rely on Australia for support.""The dashboards provided by the solution have certain shortcomings, making it in areas where improvements are required."
