We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Cisco UCS Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"The most valuable features of the solution are alert management, alert generation, and event management."
"I like everything about this tool. I recommend this solution to anyone looking for a standalone solution with high availability meaning that can be used depending on the customers requirements."
"Its event management capabilities are very open and flexible. I haven't seen a use case scenario with a customer that we couldn't actually solve the problem for, so it's really good. There are some interesting things that happen in an enterprise network (things that people don't normally expect), and the event management product is very flexible. You can solve problems as far as your imagination can go with it."
"It has provided us with a single location to host all events to be viewed/monitored by our NOC. This has greatly helped them to streamline their processes."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management is easily scalable."
"The ability to pull hosts together to show what processes are running, so it can be used for change management."
"Ease of management is certainly the most valuable feature in this product."
"The flexibility and the ease in which the features can be expanded are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"Technical support has been good so far. We haven't had any issues with them. We're satisfied with the level of service they provide our company."
"From a usability and functionality perspective, Cisco UCS Manager is very good."
"When one server fails, we can attach the service profile to a new server, which saves a lot of time."
"The most valuable features are flexibility and management."
"The solution is highly scalable, mainly because of the templates that make it easy for you to actually edit on the system."
"Cisco Infrastructure is one of the top vendors and no one can beat them in terms of switching and routing."
"Specifically around application performance monitoring, BMC is definitely not the market leader. The Dynatraces, the New Relics and the like are more of the market leaders in that space. I would like to see them grow that space a little bit more aggressively. It has not really been their bread and butter."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"The sizing (which is difficult), the maintenance of it and the upgrade paths. This is a difficult area which is not easy to cover, as every client has a different approach of implementing the product."
"The solution could improve its price."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"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 one piece that I would love to see is a general-purpose, configurable agent which would be a framework that you can deploy on anything, whether it be Java or anything else. It would allow you to easily deploy it on a platform that they support."
"I found it a bit of a challenge to get training on UCSM. I've been trying to get that for some time now. I feel like I have to figure it out a lot of things myself. For years I've to log calls with support whenever I've got challenges that I cannot resolve. If I had some training or more manuals, I'd be better able to handle more things on my own."
"What's lacking in Cisco UCS Manager is the performance dashboard. If a blade has any performance issues, you should be able to create a dashboard on Cisco UCS Manager. Currently, this feature isn't present."
"There is room for improvement in the software part of Cisco UCS Manager. It should be more user-friendly, especially when creating policies."
"The automation within the solution needs to be simplified."
"The solution's pricing is high and could be reduced."
"I would like to see Cisco UCS optionally work as a hyper-converged system because right now, it only operates as a converged system."
"The installation and upgrade sytems need to be improved."
"I want to be able to schedule multiple sequential updates in one go."
