BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management offers automated server provisioning across Azure, AWS, and on-premises, reducing training and ensuring consistency. Essential features include BMC Capacity Optimization, Database Automation, Bladelogic Server Automation with compliance, monitoring, and audit capabilities. Users benefit from a multi-cloud portal enabling blueprint designs in varied environments, seamless orchestration, and continuous compliance. It allows Java EE application management, change orchestration, compliance assessment, probable cause analysis, and business service relationship visualization, delivering unmatched flexibility and implementation potential.
- "CLM has a multi-cloud portal because they have the resources to implement in various environments in various ports."
- "Total build time has been reduced from four weeks to one week, then later to 24 hours."
- "Allowing systems to be provisioned in a wide range of environments, such as Azure, AWS, or on-premise, reduces the level of training required as well as creates consistency across the board."
BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management requires more script-based features, complex installation, tricky network setup, and improved integration with AWS, Azure, and IBM SoftLayer. European support is inadequate, with ineffective agents and a lack of investment in network automation. Users experience issues due to technicians' limited platform knowledge and slow incident resolution. There is a perception that BMC does not prioritize Cloud Lifecycle Management's future development and support.
- "One of the major problems is that support is not so good."
- "The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy."
- "Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."
