Has improved monitoring efficiency and supports fast issue resolution through responsive support and reliable automation
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…

Helpful dashboard, and the ElasticSearch feature helps to identify problematic components
Savision continuously develops new modules to allow further integration, so the only item would continue with this effort to allow more-and-more systems to integrate into this platform. Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a really good tool and most of the issues we've got, they've either fixed or they're fixing to fix."
"The event management part of TrueSight Operations Management, in my experience, is probably the best in the market."
"It is a stable solution."
"The BMC TrueSight platform wins probably 80 percent of the time if you look feature by feature."
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"We utilize BMC TrueSight Operations Management to proactively monitor all of our physical and virtual server environments, and coupled with Entuity for TrueSight Operations Management, we can have a holistic view of our network and server environments health in a single pane of glass."
"I like the deep-dive detail and end-user metrics data. The synthetic monitor is the best one. The best point of the new one is that there's no need for configuration. You can inject the Java script and start to change major developments in the application. This is a good approach, and we received all the data using this."
"The very fact that we've been on it for ten years is a testament, as we continue to make the investment and pay the renewal because the return has been fantastic."
"The dashboards and views available are easy to manage and share, and provide all of the metrics required."
"This helps to centralize multiple monitoring solutions and streamline integration into ITSM."
 

Cons

"The solution is a little obsolete."
"The solution is based on endpoints and knowledge models which can get costly. Pricing is a little bit high so I rate it a six out of ten."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"It's a far more complex technology than I perceived at the beginning to deploy."
"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."
"There are some small limitations with this tool in terms of reporting dashboards that fit all of the requirements of the individual customer."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion."
"Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is all volume-driven. I think we were paying between $80 and $85 per license. That's per unit, for a perpetual license. You pay it one time and then, every year, you pay 20 percent of that for annual maintenance and support. But now that we've grown, we've purchased tens of thousands of licenses and the cost per license has gone down to something like less than $30..."
"Annual licensing amount depends on the customers requirements. Support is an additional fee and there are options for three and five year support."
"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."
"It is a large, complex product. So, there is a commitment of manpower to deploy it, as it is not a cheap product."
"Consider scalability very carefully: how much you want to monitor and what components are very important. Then, depending on these two things, filter out unwanted metrics or attributes. If you do a good job at filtering the data, then your licensing costs will be manageable."
"The tool is moderately expensive."
"Pricing is very high."
"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."
