Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“BMC Helix: Retained Leader standing through deep AIOps, automated root-cause analysis, and hybrid-cloud infrastructure management.” Muse Glimmer 30B · ITSM · comparative prompt · alternative
“ServiceNow or BMC Helix ITSM (choose ServiceNow for fastest AI innovation; BMC Helix for hybrid/On-Prem flexibility)” MiniMax M2.5 · ITSM · comparative prompt · alternative
“a direct competitor to ServiceNow, often chosen by enterprises with complex legacy infrastructure” GLM 4.7 FlashX · ITSM · comparative prompt · alternative
“more appropriate for organizations with complex multi-cloud or advanced orchestration needs” Perplexity Sonar · ITSM · direct prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“"Avoid BMC Helix (previously known as Remedy). It's filled with glitches and, even after more than two years, still isn't functioning properly."” Muse Glimmer 30B · ITSM · negative prompt · hard negative
“Avoid BMC Helix entirely unless you have a compelling compliance reason and a dedicated team to babysit it.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · ITSM · negative prompt · hard negative
“most experts recommend steering clear unless you have an existing massive investment in BMC workflows” Qwen 3.7 Flash · ITSM · negative prompt · hard negative
“BMC Helix (previously known as Remedy) - due to its glitches and poor functionality.” Llama 4 Maverick · ITSM · negative prompt · hard negative

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when BMC Helix ITSM's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as BMC Helix ITSM, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for BMC Helix ITSM by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where BMC Helix ITSM is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name BMC Helix ITSM, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
