What differentiates BMC Helix Discovery from other similar products?

Automate asset discovery and identify systems in the network as rapidly as possible to acquire important information from them. The user interface is extremely simple to use, and accuracy and clarity have greatly increased.`

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The user interface is good and simple to use, it is highly adaptable, and the speed and security of the product are superb. It can scan and detect the CI's in a single minute, saving us a lot of time. More than 1TB of data should be saved.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Add-on licence - with all of the talk about cloud discovery, this necessitates add-on price in order to allow this feature.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Support for issues or defects might be improved in certain ways, such as resolution time, although we have seen gains in this area in the recent year.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Enables Productivity
  • Saves Time
  • Respectful

great tool for data handling

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates BMC Helix Discovery from other similar products?

Data might be readily customised based on predefined categories. True in-depth functionality lowers customisation, resulting in a more mature and successful service. It's a fast Application Development tool with all of the necessary customisation. When compared to all other similar instruments on the market, it is an exceptionally affordable gadget.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The most significant feature I'd like to highlight is that it is rather user friendly, when other products are not. Simultaneously, the versatility, security, and quickness are really amazing. It is simple to set up and provides faster access. Overall, it's one of the top things I'd recommend to someone who only needs a little amount of data storage.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The software's graphic user interface (GUI) is difficult to use. The programme will be challenging to grasp in the beginning. However, if you grasp the programme, it simplifies your work and saves you time.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It appears to be adequate, and it may be used in a place.

Pros

  • Unique Features
  • Effective Service
  • Includes Product Enhancements
  • Security Protects
