Stable with a good database and a good interface
We primarily use the solution to deal with problems in the production environment For us, the database is the most useful feature. The interface is great. We don't find the pricing to be too bad. The initial setup was fairly easy. I'm not sure how to improve the solution. It currently has all of…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup was fairly easy."
"The solution is stable, reliable, and doesn't have any bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"Using the TrueSight platform we can monitor server performance and notify the customers using the integrated ticketing for events. We can let them know if there are any issues with a server, or application, or database."
"I haven't seen a use case scenario with a customer that we couldn't actually solve the problem for, so it's really good."
"It provides common administration, and a Single Sign-On Platform with RBAC, which eases the cross launch between multiple tools"
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"From the time we get the incident logged to the time we get the customer back up and running, it has improved that by 33 percent or greater."
"This is the best product so far I have ever experienced."
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
 

Cons

"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
"I would like to see a little more out-of-the-box event correlation and expanded AIOps type capabilities. Where you can train your artificial intelligence operations to be able to memorize an issue once you encounter one scenario, so if you encounter that same problem, you can get to the root cause very quickly."
"The SLA reports that we get on TrueSight today are unfortunately worthless."
"There are some complexities with deployment that could be improved in BMC TrueSight."
"We were somewhat limited in TrueSight due to some of the RBAC controls not quite being what we wanted as far as delegating out administrative privileges for implementation. But because we were able to turn requests around pretty well, that burden wasn't too heavy."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"In a large company of our size, we need multiple people in our company trained. So, I have to take the training classes. Then, I have to go and train the rest of my organization. I would prefer to say to the other people on my team, "Go to this link and..." Or, "Here's a list of training sessions that you can go to which are online and that are free." I think it would help the adoption of their product in the marketplace, personally."
"Specifically around application performance monitoring, BMC is definitely not the market leader."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is a large, complex product. So, there is a commitment of manpower to deploy it, as it is not a cheap product."
"The solutions are not the cheapest but are robust and stable. License model is rather complex and BMC do often change the model."
"We did a five-year, multimillion dollar deal."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management is not on the cheaper side, but its pricing is on a case by case basis. Its licensing model is simple and based on the number of devices."
"We pay license fees of between $150 and $200 per asset. There is an enterprise software license fee, and then you pay a percentage for your maintenance, and then Premier Support. For example, if you buy a two-year license for the product, then the maintenance fee is added to that for two years at X percent a year. Then there's a small fee on top of that for Premier Support..."
"The price of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is very high. If there was more flexibility with the sizing of the licensing it would be helpful, especially during the pandemic. We have wanted to expend but the licensing cost is too high."
"The cost depends on the usage."
"Pricing is very high."
