Stable with a good database and a good interface
We primarily use the solution to deal with problems in the production environment For us, the database is the most useful feature. The interface is great. We don't find the pricing to be too bad. The initial setup was fairly easy. I'm not sure how to improve the solution. It currently has all of…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup was fairly easy."
"The solution is stable, reliable, and doesn't have any bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"BMC products are very good."
"The fact that they have a very integrated relationship with Sentry Software, the Knowledge Module, is valuable... The richest feature for us is the number of Knowledge Modules that we can load into the product to add breadth of service to the customer. It enables us to move up the operational stack from hardware, to operating system, to application, and to cloud... That enables us to provide one pane of glass over all those layers - hardware, OS, app, and cloud."
"Automated root cause analysis and predictive capabilities are powerful features that assist in resource utilization and capacity planning."
"It has provided us with a single location to host all events to be viewed/monitored by our NOC, which has greatly helped them to streamline their processes."
"We can verify uptimes as another source of keeping devices in compliance."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the dashboard presentation server."
"This is the best product so far I have ever experienced."
"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
 

Cons

"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"In a large company of our size, we need multiple people in our company trained. So, I have to take the training classes. Then, I have to go and train the rest of my organization. I would prefer to say to the other people on my team, "Go to this link and..." Or, "Here's a list of training sessions that you can go to which are online and that are free." I think it would help the adoption of their product in the marketplace, personally."
"The graphs are extremely limited. We don't have a lot of dashboard options. To make reports and dashboards more useful, we usually need to integrate some dashboard solutions."
"I definitely would like to see more improvement in the self-diagnostics. I need to know when anything is not working or collecting, long before our customer finds it."
"On Windows we went to application HA and, quite honestly, it was terrible."
"The pricing could be better."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"I would like them to improve the deep-dive details, tracing, and data agents in this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is a relatively inexpensive solution."
"They have changed the licensing fees."
"Pricing is very high."
"We did a five-year, multimillion dollar deal."
"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."
"It is a large, complex product. So, there is a commitment of manpower to deploy it, as it is not a cheap product."
"The cost depends on the usage."
"There is a big upfront cost when you buy the license, then there is annual maintenance. We look at, if I bought a license and paid for maintenance for five years, then average it out, what would be my monthly cost. We have had some of the competing tools come in around four dollars. This is coming in as a premium, which is why I don't have it deployed as I would like it. Therefore, we're in negotiations right now. If I can get it down to the four dollar range, I will triple my deployment in a year and a half."
