The BMC tools are the easiest to work with from the Remedy Admin/Developer perspective, but they may not be what the rest of I.T. wants. If you already own LANDesk, SMS, or something else you might want to consider integrating with those instead, even though it would be more work. For example, BMC's discovery tools give you reconciliation rules. If you have multiple other data sources, it would become more time-consuming to build them there (although it isn't a huge deal.)
In my company's case, the management decided we had enough tools with an overlap, so we didn't purchase them.
