Automatic installation for complex deployments and environments, with good workflow support

I like that really complex deployments are possible with it. It's very good. You have everything you need. You can design your workflows for your needs. You can do so much more, it's not just an automatic installation tool. It's a real deployment tool. I can do the complete deployment with everything that is possible.

Achieve cost-effective and efficient operations with automated compliance and patch management

Regarding the patch management feature, I find it perfect in BMC TrueSight Server Automation; however, the only problem is with application software, as operating system patch management is perfect. What I am trying to have is application software running on the server segment. Sometimes they use browsers, PDF readers, and Java, so patching these application or utility software is a challenge due to the large number and the different versions. I have some concerns regarding BMC TrueSight Server Automation that could be improved, particularly in the reporting part. The pending patches report generated after the analysis only reflects the job executed, but in a distributed environment where multiple teams manage servers, central governance requires server status updates driven by servers rather than jobs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The agents are one of the solution's most valuable features, and I like agents for file transfers so you can transfer the files from agent to agent on the different platforms."

"You can automate everything you want."

"The IT process automation is the most valuable aspect of this solution."

"It is a very stable solution and we can rely on pressing a button to perform a full-stack automatic installation that reliably finishes in eight hours instead of a problematic three-week manual installation."

"In first pilot run, we achieved five times faster deployment without human work."

"They have gained efficiency that they cannot achieve in any other way."

"The measurement and the display functions make it easy to report all the statuses up to management, and it has helped our customers with their time, costs, and resources."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to see which problems have been resolved from deployment."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] pros

"Technical support is good."

"The overall role of BMC TrueSight Server Automation in managing configuration drift brings return on investment through its automation, which helps save me the time and effort of my operations team."

"The most important feature is the schedulings."

"The solution is stable."

"As this solution provides strong support and has multiple use cases, it is worth the cost."

"It makes deployment easier and allows us to put restrictions on the server using role-based authorization."

"Compliance is also huge... By tying it to Atrium Orchestrator, our workflow tool, we'll be able to have a closed loop where we identify a compliance issue, cut CRs, get them approved, and then be able to execute these CRs and more seamlessly fix these issues on the fly."

"Versatile capabilities in deployment and releasing of software products."

More BMC TrueSight Server Automation pros

Cons

"We're a WebSphere shop so I would like to see more support for WebSphere, only because it's the platform that they seem to want to use the most."

"Not a perfect ten because the user interface is brand new and it needs improvement."

"There are some bugs. For example, during the design of a workflow, important information is lost, it vanishes."

"We hope that we can integrate the new CD Directive into our portfolio, so we can bring the deployment and release management closer together."

"The stability of the solution can be improved."

"There needs to be better error handling and error descriptions. It should be more clear what the errors are and what we can do to fix them."

"One of the biggest features I've been asked by my team to put in there is opening more scripting languages to be part of the platform. There is a little bit of a learning curve in learning how to code some of the workflows in Automic at this time. If widely used languages like Perl and Python were integrated, on top of what's already there, the proprietary language, it would make it easier to on-board new resources."

"At the moment, the version that we are using (version 12.0), the environment is complex with multiple installations. Therefore, the monitoring is not scalable, but this should be improved in 12.1 and 12.2."

More Automic Continuous Delivery Automation [EOL] cons

"Without any knowledge of the product, we used the KB articles to start working. As a result, we definitely did not have full knowledge of BMC BladeLogic... They need to provide a minimum of knowledge with training on YouTube or somewhere else."

"I have some concerns regarding BMC TrueSight Server Automation that could be improved, particularly in the reporting part. The pending patches report generated after the analysis only reflects the job executed, but in a distributed environment where multiple teams manage servers, central governance requires server status updates driven by servers rather than jobs."

"In some versions, we do have stability, especially 8.5."

"We would like to see this solution handle more multitasking."

"BMC TrueSight Server Automation's scripting needs improvement."

"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."

"We encountered some reporting issues. Also, we needed to gather information from the backend before the product execution. The output's format is not good."

"The number of APIs available within the tool needs improvement."

More BMC TrueSight Server Automation cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I can save time and money more quickly."

"We increased our quality and reduced our time costs."

"If you have a fixed contract, it has limits to spreading out. If you have a flexible enterprise license contract, then you have a lot of scalability for this tool."

"Customers often complain about the price."

"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."

"The product is expensive."

"We're looking at less than $100,000 USD for this solution."

"Licensing is a bit pricey. Be mindful about the components that you need and buy as appropriate."

"The product's pricing depends on the number of servers."
