Cloud Services Automation Technologies Manager at Garanti Teknoloji
An orchestration tool to automate the end-to-end process with a need to improve its user experience
In BMC TrueSight Orchestration, login is just text-based, so it's really hard to find the problem. We cannot see the ongoing running jobs or interfere with them on an interface. So it's unavailable. There are some restrictions about the permissions, especially the level of the permissions, even though there is not very much there. It's a little bit hard to use clients' development tools, so the user experience may be improved. There is room for improvement for the local team.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best thing about TrueSight is the user interface, which is intuitive and easy to use. It supports accessibility and exporting, so we can output to the format we require. We can use TrueSight to integrate nearly any other product. I can't think of another product that can match this functionality. We also have Microsoft Orchestrator, but it can't match BMC TrueSight Orchestration."
"I find the provisioning to be the most valuable."
"The product has a very good triggering mechanism."
"This solution is scalable."
"The initial setup is easy. The deployment was done in an hour."
"We can implement compliance standards with the solution. You can also do patching so that the environment is compliant and secure from external threats and hacking. We can provision multiple systems with the help of predefined templates that the organization has forwarded us. The solution’s users can also integrate multiple products which can be either BMC or non-BMC. There are numerous possibilities that can be done with server automation"
"BMC TrueSight Orchestration has made things much easier for them."
"We particularly like the integration functionality of this solution. This product is open API, which means that it can be integrated with any solution from any other brand."
"It is easy to debug and troubleshoot."
"They were good, they helped us a lot from the beginning, from installation through the whole process, and not just their support, but also their professional services are top notch."
"Before implementing this product, our Problem and Change Management Processes were very poor, but nowadays, thanks to CA Process Automation (PAM), we no longer have this problem, as we now have all of the processes' rules placed inside of it."
"The benefits are the efficiency we achieve with such a product, as we could automate processes which were done in the past by humans, speeding up the reaction by 10 times and saving us a lot of money."
"It has provided ROI by auto-resolving incidents or requests in the ITSM queue, improved MTTR and SLA adherence, and added value to the delivery of services and the customer experience."
"CA Process Automation manager is a very powerful production tool."
"PAM has the ability to integrate and build solutions that work well in CA's suite of service management products and those that are outside of service management."
"Technical support is unequivocally excellent; in fact, the best customer service and technical support I’ve experienced during my 12 years in IT."
 

Cons

"BMC TrueSight Orchestration is difficult to understand. It's not very user-friendly."
"Regarding scalability, the architecture does not allow you to add additional servers just able to use two application servers, so it's not scalable."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The architecture of this solution needs improvement, it is very complicated."
"BMC TrueSight Orchestration is difficult to understand. It's not very user-friendly."
"The solution should move to the cloud. Every application from the BMC is on the container and moving to the cloud. There is also a number of limitations for the smart reporting feature of the TrueSight server which is not working in sync. We did not get any satisfactory reply from BMC on that note. We are not able to do the real-time sync between HSA and non-HSA service reporting tools and the actual application tools."
"BMC TrueSight Orchestration could improve by providing some visibility on how the workflows are progressing."
"It would be helpful if TrueSight could log errors in a better format. I would also like to see more connector support. Let's say I have a third-party vendor that I need to integrate with Ansible. It would be helpful if BMC announced a specific connector for that. I've encountered situations where I need to work with scripts or find another way to integrate a particular product with TrueSight Orchestration. BMC already supports many products. For example, we have a connector for Ansible, but I think it needs to be improved some."
"These configurations can be changed only through the installation wizard. There's no way to update such information in the administration interface, which is, in my opinion, very bad."
"Every so often the service needs to be restarted otherwise it runs slower and slower. I think this may be due to a memory leak."
"OCR capability should be added as a feature."
"Make some of the features more open source that way developers can have more flexibility."
"Although it's drag-and-drop, there's a little bit of a learning curve to use it correctly."
"A lot of times they don't get resolved, but I'm okay with those kind of responses sometimes."
"Somehow the product group within CA left the product dry from some regular expression functionality."
"It’s very complex, which is one of the disadvantages."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding pricing, it comes with the package when you buy the server automation. But it's made depending on some agreements for companies, of which I don't know the clause."
"There is a huge cost saving with BMC TrueSight compared to other solutions."
"Licensing is available in different ways and depends on data being consumed by users and nodes being operated."
"Licensing is per lot, or per agent — one agent is one license."
"There are a lot of automation savings from any process which is repeatable."
"It has provided ROI by auto resolving incidents or requests in the ITSM queue, improved MTTR and SLA adherence, and added value to the delivery of services and the customer experience."
