Monitoring has become more efficient and resource usage has dropped significantly
VictoriaMetrics is built with memory constraints in mind, and we saved a significant amount of memory after implementing it. The first advantage is that it is quite easy to use, and we can leverage PromQL queries in VictoriaMetrics with a straightforward deployment process. The best aspect of using VictoriaMetrics is the reduction in resources including RAM, memory, disk, and other infrastructure requirements, which have all decreased substantially after implementation. We observed that RAM was reduced by around 70% and disk usage by 75%, while write speed increased 3x and query per second P95 latency became 7x faster. The financial savings are significant because we observed a substantial reduction in resources such as CPU and memory after adopting VictoriaMetrics.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to fulfill the role as a manager of managers is fantastic."
"The solution has a very good business event manager tool."
"The ability to pull hosts together to show what processes are running, so it can be used for change management."
"I believe that the ease of use and UI is great"
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management is easily scalable."
"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."
"It provides common administration, and a Single Sign-On Platform with RBAC, which eases the cross launch between multiple tools"
"We're using native monitoring capabilities for all our server hardware, for visibility for applications, for URLs, for webpage response and accuracy, and for monitoring network throughput in a lot of particular instances. We're using lightweight protocols for pinging, for DNS, for LDAP."
"We observed that RAM was reduced by around 70% and disk usage by 75%, while write speed increased 3x and query per second P95 latency became 7x faster."
 

Cons

"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"The dashboards could be better. The graphs are extremely limited."
"There are some complexities with deployment that could be improved in BMC TrueSight."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"Multi-tenancy and the scalability have been challenges along the way, as we've grown."
"It's too complex, too many servers are required, there are too many different components in the solution, and a lot of agents are required."
"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
"The main area that needs improvement in VictoriaMetrics is the documentation itself, as the support is adequate and the open-source project does provide replies within one to two days."
 

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..."
"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."
"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."
"They have changed the licensing fees."
"Though I have no clue about the tool's actual price, I know that it is astronomical."
"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."
"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."
