We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Dynatrace based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Dynatrace has a user-friendly interface, easy deployment, good scalability, AI capabilities for incident alert automation, and offers a Kubernetes module for topology visualization. Even though the solution is expensive compared to competitors, it provides good value for its cost and is a great choice for companies seeking a user-friendly and scalable solution.
"The ability of this platform to monitor the very diverse assets that we maintain around the world is its most valuable feature... We support a vast array of manufacturers' equipment, like HP, IBM, Cisco, Dell, EMC, Hitachi... We can do it all with [this] one [solution]."
"The noise reduction for ticketing works much better than we have seen in a lot of other companies."
"From an administrative standpoint, what stands out in TrueSight is the ability to implement quickly. When they have a requirement to monitor something, we're able to turn that on quickly in their environment. We're able to set up new apps within a day."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"The solution has a very good business event manager tool."
"It is a very stable product."
"Using the TrueSight platform we can monitor server performance and notify the customers using the integrated ticketing for events. We can let them know if there are any issues with a server, or application, or database."
"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."
"The most valuable component of it is taking that guessing out of troubleshooting problems. We no longer have to rely on an architect, or an application person, or someone's memory of how the transaction moves throughout the infrastructure and the different dependencies that it has on it. We can see it right there and we find out more that we ever imagined."
"Google says is that you have a number of things on which you should measure your performance. One is if there's an error or not. Dynatrace tells you whether is an error or not. Second is saturation, whether something is getting saturated. You should be aware of what is getting saturated. Dynatrace even tells you that. The third is if there is a latency. Network latency is also told to me by Dynatrace."
"It reduces our efforts to identify services failing in production."
"Reduced incidents, as alert monitoring aids in quicker resolution of events."
"The deployment itself is very easy and straightforward."
"Having OneAgent is the most valuable feature of Dyantrace, as well as the monitoring."
"The speed and problem resolution."
"Dynatrace is stable."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"We were somewhat limited in TrueSight due to some of the RBAC controls not quite being what we wanted as far as delegating out administrative privileges for implementation. But because we were able to turn requests around pretty well, that burden wasn't too heavy."
"The product must provide more AI capabilities."
"I would like them to improve the deep-dive details, tracing, and data agents in this product. We have EUEM, an end-user experience monitoring appliance. This one's quicker than the current one, and reporting side and filtration side are very bad. There are many details we look at and explain what we receive information in the current one, but we cannot have historical data like we do with EUEM. We cannot have a powerful point to look for specific traffic from a specific application and a specific browser. We don't have it in the new one. The current BMC also needs to add the thing that control versions."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"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."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"We are waiting on the new features to see how they perform."
"Make it easier to define applications. E.g., provide an API for applications defined by REST services."
"The messaging layer is not really capturable and measurable right now."
"It needs education and training to ensure you get the full value of your purchase. Maybe add in a certification for Dynatrace."
"We found it was quite challenging in terms of the learning curve."
"We would like to see: * More Integration with cloud services * Simplified licensing * Single pane of glass view * Simplified reporting I* ntegration with ServiceNow and PagerDuty"
"We have a very stringent budget for an infrastructure solution. Maybe if they provided modules, a simple module with fewer features and a lower price, that would be very good."
"If you want to see a month's data, it keeps on spinning. Here is an improvement which needs to happen, which is the case with all applications or tools. There is a lot of data, and either we have to change the way we are logging or the application needs to be enhanced."
