Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"The initial setup of BMC TrueSight Operations Management was easy."
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the dashboard presentation server."
"The most valuable features of BMC TrueSight Operations Management are the blackouts and event management."
"The solution has a very good business event manager tool."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management is easily scalable."
"This is the best product so far I have ever experienced."
"The dashboard is a valuable feature."
 

Cons

"There are some small limitations with this tool in terms of reporting dashboards that fit all of the requirements of the individual customer."
"The solution could improve its price."
"BMC's online documentation is often incorrect or incomplete."
"The sizing (which is difficult), the maintenance of it and the upgrade paths. This is a difficult area which is not easy to cover, as every client has a different approach of implementing the product."
"Specifically around application performance monitoring, BMC is definitely not the market leader."
"The SLA reports that we get on TrueSight today are unfortunately worthless."
"One of the things that the TrueSight environment is missing is some of the HA abilities. The data collection server called the ISM doesn't really have the HA functionality or workload balancing. It was missing from the previous product as well. It's missing redundancy."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"The solution is pricy and has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're end-of-lifeing it now. Overall, the licensing costs of BMC are a challenge for us in that they're hard costs, whereas open-source monitoring has soft costs, where it's harder to line-item."
"Annual licensing amount depends on the customers requirements. Support is an additional fee and there are options for three and five year 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."
"There is a big upfront cost when you buy the license, then there is annual maintenance. We look at, if I bought a license and paid for maintenance for five years, then average it out, what would be my monthly cost. We have had some of the competing tools come in around four dollars. This is coming in as a premium, which is why I don't have it deployed as I would like it. Therefore, we're in negotiations right now. If I can get it down to the four dollar range, I will triple my deployment in a year and a half."
"The cost depends on the usage."
"We did a five-year, multimillion dollar deal."
"The only possible additional cost that I can mention, that you might not be aware of, is that it uses Oracle partitioning, if you use Oracle. There are Oracle partitioning fees that go with that."
"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."
