BMC Helix Discovery vs. First Plug

BMC Discovery (formerly BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping, or ADDM) creates a dynamic, holistic view of all data center assets and the relationships between them, giving IT crucial visibility into how the assets support the business. Each scan delves into the information and dependencies for all software, hardware, network, storage, and versions, providing IT with the context needed to create an application map from any piece of information about it. A lightweight footprint allows IT to map applications with up to 100% accuracy in 15 minutes or less.

First Plug helps companies with remote and distributed teams purchase, deploy, and manage hardware across multiple countries, covering the entire employee lifecycle—from onboarding new hires to offboarding and device recovery. As remote work continues to scale globally, many technology companies struggle with hardware logistics, asset visibility, and operational control across regions. First Plug was built to solve that exact problem.
