Pros
"The log audit and historical configurations are the most valuable feature.""The network security of BMC TrueSight Network Automation has been the best feature.""The backup and restore configurations are really helpful for a number of network devices, as you can automate them, then know what changes have been done, who made the changes, etc. So, it's quite helpful in the network management area.""The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Network Automation is compliance management, configuration backup, and configuration management.""We use it to back up configurations so the configuration management is valuable for us.""This product has helped us because we can now do many tasks at once. Rather than copy one file to one device, we can do an entire group at one time.""It has the best automation features.""Depending on who's looking at the data, they need to configure that data in different ways, and the dashboards help us to do that better than what was previously available."

Cons
"For customized compliance, it takes some effort to implement things. If the device configuration is quite complex, then you have to do quite number of customizations in the DNA tool for out-of-the-box compliance. These regular expressions have to be modified based on the requirements of the compliance.""I would like to see more device supported features, mostly on the new brands and models coming in. For any new version or model, it should be supported by the tool, especially the newest versions. For example, the newest devices, like Aruba Wireless, and routers need support from the tool.""They need to have a single sign-on.""The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices.""I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology.""BMC TrueSight Network Automation can improve by having a better UI. The overall quality of the UI could be better.""There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool.""I'd like to be able to get more devices into compliance with standards, but that means running additional rule sets and that takes time."

More BMC TrueSight Network Automation Cons →

"Level one administration task can be defined in Micro Focus Network Automation but it could be more simplified.""Compatibility of the devices needs to be enhanced, as it seems to be limited."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There's a fee for the licenses themselves, per contract, and then we have a yearly licensing fee that's many thousands of dollars. But that's not just for TrueSight, that's also for support for ITSM, Atrium Orchestrator, BBNA, and other BMC tools in the environment."
  • "The solution is worth the price."
  • "The solution is more costly than the other competitors."

    Overview

    Network automation and management software reduces network outages and downtime by automating configuration, change and compliance processes. Organizations depend on high performance across their network to keep the business running at peak efficiency but new security threats make it hard for network administrators to keep pace with the demands for new services and safeguard the health of the network.

    OpenText Network Automation helps IT organizations drive efficiencies by automating time-consuming manual compliance and network configuration tasks for the complete operational lifecycle of network devices from provisioning to policy-based network configuration management, compliance policy enforcement and reporting, and security administration. OpenText Network Automation also helps increase network stability and uptime by preventing inconsistencies and misconfigurations often created by manual processes.  When combined with OpenText Network Node Manager i, it delivers a unique integrated solution that delivers network fault, availability, and performance integrated with change, network configuration, compliance, and automated diagnostics that operates from a shared network topology database.
