The product is reasonably priced, but the solution is a little obsolete because it is deployed on-premise
If I want custom monitoring across a very large estate of more than 50,000 units, the on-premise deployment gets quite slow. The on-premise product’s performance must be improved. The solution is a little obsolete. That is why the solution moved to Helix, a SaaS operating system. The SaaS platform has the features I like. There is no point in BMC expanding TrueSight Operations’ console. It's high time that BMC starts a demise path for the product and is associated only with Helix. If we need any additional function, we must switch to Helix. Since TrueSight is deployed on-premise, the scalability and usage of the product are mainly focused on providing basic features and not enhanced features like analytics or cost analysis. People should move to a SaaS platform because on-premise products have limited storage and capacity.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load."
"The noise reduction for ticketing works much better than we have seen in a lot of other companies."
"It is a stable solution."
"The initial setup of BMC TrueSight Operations Management was easy."
"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."
"It is a very stable product."
"The tailoring of the knowledge modules has been particularly useful as I can streamline the agents to only report on critical events."
"Using the TrueSight platform we can monitor server performance and notify the customers using the integrated ticketing for events. We can let them know if there are any issues with a server, or application, or database."
"The machine learning feature is valuable."
 

Cons

"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"It's too complex, too many servers are required, there are too many different components in the solution, and a lot of agents are required."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"I would like them to improve the deep-dive details, tracing, and data agents in this product. We have EUEM, an end-user experience monitoring appliance. This one's quicker than the current one, and reporting side and filtration side are very bad. There are many details we look at and explain what we receive information in the current one, but we cannot have historical data like we do with EUEM. We cannot have a powerful point to look for specific traffic from a specific application and a specific browser. We don't have it in the new one. The current BMC also needs to add the thing that control versions."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"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."
"One of the things that the TrueSight environment is missing is some of the HA abilities. The data collection server called the ISM doesn't really have the HA functionality or workload balancing. It was missing from the previous product as well. It's missing redundancy."
"They can improve the functionality that provides some numbers related to the behavior of the metrics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a large, complex product. So, there is a commitment of manpower to deploy it, as it is not a cheap product."
"The solution is based on endpoints and knowledge models which can be costly."
"We're end-of-lifeing it now. Overall, the licensing costs of BMC are a challenge for us in that they're hard costs, whereas open-source monitoring has soft costs, where it's harder to line-item."
"Pricing is all volume-driven. I think we were paying between $80 and $85 per license. That's per unit, for a perpetual license. You pay it one time and then, every year, you pay 20 percent of that for annual maintenance and support. But now that we've grown, we've purchased tens of thousands of licenses and the cost per license has gone down to something like less than $30..."
"Other products are more expensive than BMC TrueSight."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management is not on the cheaper side, but its pricing is on a case by case basis. Its licensing model is simple and based on the number of devices."
"It is a relatively inexpensive solution."
"The solutions are not the cheapest but are robust and stable. License model is rather complex and BMC do often change the model."
