Enterprise Solution Architect at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Helps design blueprints in a cloud environment but the support is a major problem
One of the major problems is that support is not so good. I used to have a support expert in Spain but they left two years ago. BMC doesn't invest a lot in network automation but network automation is a major point in CLM. There aren't any experts here in Europe, maybe they have in America, I don't know. The main problem is the support in Europe. We had a lot of problems with the people who got put on our cases. The agents that we were assigned to were not so capable. They wanted to replicate the problem. If you have an incident, it takes a lot of time to troubleshoot the problem. The incident support is not so good. The technicians don't know the platform well. BMC doesn't want to invest in CLM. Two years ago we had a lot of problems. Maybe BMC realized that CLM is an end of life product.

I work with BMC TrueSight and have been using it for eight-plus years BMC TrueSight brought a positive impact and benefits to our organization. The customization part is one of the advantages of the product, along with the monitoring capabilities. Automated root cause analysis and predictive…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Total build time has been reduced from four weeks to one week, then later to 24 hours."
"We have many regions where more than 10000 servers are deployed, so it helps in patching and hardening of servers."
"Integrates role-based access control with pre-configured policies for CIS, DISA, HIPAA, PCI, SOX, NIST, and SCAP documentation and remediation."
"Automates Java EE Application Deployment from an SCM system."
"You can tie together your public and private cloud infrastructure into a "single pane of glass"."
"CLM has a multi-cloud portal because they have the resources to implement in various environments in various ports."
"It's helped us with our automation."
"By allowing end users to request their own services, the request process for systems is much quicker and more accurate."
"The visibility of the environment that the solutions provide is great."
"Helix Innovation Studio is a very good feature. It allows us to develop our own enterprise applications and make them available for the customers."
"It has provided more value than we expected and it does what it says it's going to do."
"It has provided us with a single location to host all events to be viewed/monitored by our NOC, which has greatly helped them to streamline their processes."
"The solution's event management capabilities are fantastic. We do a best of breed. If, on the network side, they use a different tool, we pull all that data in so that we have a single console. It's kind of like the monitor of monitors. We're able to aggregate all the different types of data sets, whether it's log data, app data, OS data, infrastructure data, or network data. We're able to aggregate all those events and then correlate and be able to say we're having an event."
"Its event management capabilities are very open and flexible. 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. There are some interesting things that happen in an enterprise network (things that people don't normally expect), and the event management product is very flexible. You can solve problems as far as your imagination can go with it."
"I believe that the ease of use and UI is great"
"It's a really good tool and most of the issues we've got, they've either fixed or they're fixing to fix."
 

Cons

"The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy."
"Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."
"One of the major problems is that support is not so good."
"Going to BMC for PS is not at all recommended from my experience."
"It was complex as it does not include a good, extensive feasibility and compatibility guide."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"The SLA reports that we get on TrueSight today are unfortunately worthless."
"BMC's online documentation is often incorrect or incomplete."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"The pricing could be better."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"I would like them to improve the deep-dive details, tracing, and data agents in this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 solutions are not the cheapest but are robust and stable. License model is rather complex and BMC do often change the model."
"Annual licensing amount depends on the customers requirements. Support is an additional fee and there are options for three and five year support."
"The solution is based on endpoints and knowledge models which can be costly."
"We did a five-year, multimillion dollar deal."
"Pricing is very high."
"Use conservative figures. In terms of hardware, monitored servers and also effort. The product is not cheap. But as with other products, you get what you pay for."
"Other products are more expensive than BMC TrueSight."
