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.

Automation has transformed server patching and has reduced months of work to minutes

The best features that Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform offers is that it does not require any additional resources inside the servers. Python is the only requirement, and since Python is already present inside the servers, we can run it from our location and it automatically deploys things and does the work for us. The minimal requirements and easy deployment have definitely impacted my daily work and my team's efficiency. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is one of the best features that we depend on. We have evaluated other options, but Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform was the best choice because it has saved us a tremendous amount of time. We do not need to manually intervene in the servers or install third-party software to maintain these things. It is very easy to write playbooks for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. Ansible Galaxy contains many playbooks that are readily available and ready to be used. It is highly configurable with Jinja templating, making it easy to maintain. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform has positively impacted my organization. Previously, we needed to go into the servers and maintain them manually, which used to take a lot of time. For 200 to 300 servers, the maintenance took about one to two months. New patches would arrive and we would have to repeat the process. Now, it is a one-night work or a 10 to 15 minutes task. We write a playbook, maintain an inventory, and roll out the updates and it starts working for us. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform uses conditional clauses and has rollback options, functioning like a standard coding language that is simple to use. There is definitely a reduction in errors with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform because we have playbooks written with all the necessary clauses and rollback options. Manual work automatically creates more errors, whereas in automation, we have written sets that we do not forget every time we run it. We have protected written sets that we execute consistently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is scalable."

"BMC TrueSight Orchestration has made things much easier for them."

"This solution is scalable."

"The product has a very good triggering mechanism."

"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."

"The automation helps in payment transactions through BHIM app. The BMC helps in smooth clearance of all payments without using MasterCard or Visa. The solution is ready to use, and there is no need for customization or resources. We can complete integration over cloud and on-premise, and even using mainframes. The automation are secure through BMC TrueSight Orchestration."

"The initial setup is easy. The deployment was done in an hour."

"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."

More BMC TrueSight Orchestration pros

"Saved time as well as helped support compliance and standards."

"There are new modules available, which help to simplify the workflow. That is what we like about it."

"I like the fact that Ansible is agentless."

"The Organizations feature, where I can give clear silos and hand them over to different teams, that's amazing; everybody says that it's their own Tower."

"We can have an easy to go, ready demonstration set up in less than five minutes."

"The reason I like Ansible is, first, the coding of it is very straightforward, it's very human-readable. I'm also on a contract, and I can clearly iterate and bring people up to speed very quickly on writing a Playbook compared with writing up a Puppet manifest or a Salt script."

"I like the agentless feature, which means we don't install any agent in worker nodes."

"The most valuable features of the solution are its configuration management, drift management, workflow templates with the visual UI, and graphical workflow representation."

Cons

"At present this solution is only available to be hosted on-premises, which can cause network issues when integration with cloud-based software is attempted."

"BMC TrueSight Orchestration could improve by providing some visibility on how the workflows are progressing."

"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 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."

"The architecture of this solution needs improvement, it is very complicated."

"BMC TrueSight Orchestration is difficult to understand. It's not very user-friendly."

"We are aiming for AI automation and look for support from BMC. The features are currently missing but we are hoping for some upgrade in this matter."

"The architecture of this solution needs improvement, it is very complicated. It creates a lot of problems in our environment. Most of the time I am trying to find and solve the problem."

More BMC TrueSight Orchestration cons

"For a couple of the API integrations, there has been a lack of documentation."

"There were a few scalability issues. I had no problems as long as the number of servers was less than 500."

"It would be helpful to have templates for common configurations. It would make it much easier and faster rather than creating a whole script. The templates would decrease the learning curve as well."

"In modern infrastructure, there are more than just servers. The initial server-centric approach in Ansible is a bit strange."

"There are some options not available in the community edition of the solution."

"Ansible is great, but there are not many modules. You can do about 80% to 90% of things by using commands, but more modules should be added."

"At this time, I do not have anything to improve. What we struggle with is the knowledge base, but that is more about us having to go and find it and learn the platform on our own rather than an actual Ansible issue."

"There needs to be improvement in the orchestration."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is per lot, or per agent — one agent is one license."

"Licensing is available in different ways and depends on data being consumed by users and nodes being operated."

"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."

"It’s an open-source tool."

"Everything is generally fair. No one ever likes to pay a lot of money, but we are getting the value. We also get support with it. It has been fair and worthwhile."

"We're charged between $8 to $13 a month per license."

"The pricing for us is huge because we use twenty thousand nodes, so that is a huge infrastructure, but if someone is using a small infrastructure, then the pricing is not so much."

"I don't see the pricing or licensing features, but from what I understand, it is fairly reasonable."

"The pricing is okay."

"The solution is inexpensive compared to other products."

"Users have to pay a per-node cost of around $ 100 per node."
