Application Performance Mnagement Specialist at a insurance company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Enables us to right-size systems to free up resources, and identify performance problems down to the process level
Since I already have a sneak peek into the next releases, I'm very happy about what's going to be included. I would like to see continued support for the legacy parts of the tool, the old, seasoned parts that are very valuable to me. That is a message I continue to give to BMC: All the new stuff's great, but don't take away this really important stuff. That's my biggest fear, that I might lose some of my old functionality that is still extremely valuable. I want to make sure we don't lose any functionality, and that they just still keep delivering on what they're doing. I don't have anything more to ask than what they're offering.

Cloud governance has improved and teams optimize costs with automated real-time visibility
Hyperglance features help in codeless automation, which means we can fix common issues and optimize resources without doing any coding. Hyperglance has positively impacted our organization by helping us with agentless and self-hosted deployments, which has saved 38% time for deployments that we used to do manually. The automated process has saved us time and money as we cut resources. In the metrics we have tracked, we have saved 22% in costs. The time and cost savings from Hyperglance have allowed our team to focus on other projects and improved our workflow. Hyperglance has helped us save on cost, improve efficiency, and reduce manual work while enabling real-time compliance checks with very good features. We have saved a lot of time and resources by reducing the manual work which the new team needs to do. Now the team is occupied in other work and they are more productive, providing us more user stories in the organization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We estimate that saved us close to $100,000 just by right-sizing the systems that were there."
"The most interesting feature is certainly the simulation of the load using different servers or different KPI parameters of the business."
"Workload characterization is super important because it lets us figure things out. Many people know, for example, that with Microsoft Word, Word.exe is the executable. Everybody knows their executable, but they don't always know what it does. It also launches other things. This tool has the ability and insight to track those things, and to know: "Oh, you wanted this executable, but this one started this, so you must want this, too." And it tells you what it had to add, what it was using or was spawning."
"We ingest a ton of business data. We are an insurance company and we have business data, like how many quotes are done an hour, and how many policies are sold per hour. The correlation engine in the new TrueSight Capacity Optimization components are wonderful. We can do correlation analysis over months of data, and then we run models to tell our business: 'If you do 1,000 more quotes an hour, we're going to have to upgrade, and we're going to need this much more hardware.'"
"Hyperglance has helped us save on cost, improve efficiency, and reduce manual work while enabling real-time compliance checks with very good features."
"Hyperglance on the Up to 3,000 Resources Pay as You Go plan has improved our organization by giving us a much clearer visibility into our cloud infrastructure."
"Hyperglance has improved our organization by giving us a single view of all resources across GovCloud, helping us quickly identify misconfigurations, maintain compliance, and reduce manual work that used to take hours."
"Hyperglance provides visibility that creates a unified view of the entire cloud system, allowing us to debug much faster than we were able to initially."
"At my organization, Hyperglance has positively impacted us by saving costs as it identified unused resources that we could delete, which saved us money."
"We have seen measurable improvements in a few areas since adopting Hyperglance, with the biggest impact on operational efficiency and cloud cost visibility by identifying underutilized EC2 instances, unattached storage volumes, and outdated test resources across multiple AWS accounts, which reduced our monthly cloud spend by roughly ten to fifteen percent while also improving troubleshooting time because engineers can trace dependencies and visualize architecture much faster instead of manually piecing information together from native cloud consoles."
"Hyperglance: Up to 5000 Resources [Pay as you go] provided a visual representation of our cloud resources and usage, showing which EC2 instances were underutilized or overprovisioned, and recommended resizing the instances based on actual usage, which led to a reduction of 30% to 35% in cloud spending."
"The best features Hyperglance offers in my experience are real-time 3D visualization, FinOps and cost optimization, no-code automation, and unified cloud view."
 

Cons

"Some of the data management is painful. Some of the new features haven't been implemented in quite the way I would like to get to levels of detail. For example, Visualizer parser doesn't take everything it should out of the Visualizer files. We've had to put in a work-around, but the work-around is not as accurate as what's in the file."
"The memory management of Java application servers should be implemented to be able to size GC and footprint."
"The learning curve can be a challenge for new users, which is something that can be improved."
"Some dashboards and visualizations can become cluttered at scale, so I believe more flexible filtering and cleaner navigation would help."
"One area where Hyperglance could improve is performance speed when dealing with very large environments, as sometimes the visual maps take longer to load."
"Hyperglance could be costly for someone with simple infrastructure."
"The current limitations in Hyperglance: Up to 5000 Resources [Pay as you go] are heavily focused on cloud environments and may not offer the same visibility in hybrid infrastructure."
"Hyperglance can be improved by providing a less steep learning curve."
"From my perspective, Hyperglance can only improve its UI/UX design. They can improve their dashboard as well, as their dashboard has a lot of customization limits, so they can improve it."
"The initial configuration is hectic, and it takes time to realize value gain."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Right now, the licensing structure is by server. Everybody is licensed somewhat differently, depending on how big they are, how many licenses they have."
