Ayobanji Iluyomade - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is stable and can be used for monitoring and managing events, but it does not provide application or service monitoring features
We are moving from basic monitoring to AIOps, where we can do things like self-healing. We also want to create dashboards for IT and business users to show the status of their services. We have done a couple of demos. I recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.
Jose Ramon Crespo - PeerSpot reviewer
Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues. The tool is also excellent at integrating with ITSM services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution."
"The event management tool builds correlation logic and protection algorithms into a field of events that is valuable when a data center goes down."
"The event management part of TrueSight Operations Management, in my experience, is probably the best in the market. You have endless flexibility. You can build your own rules, you have the MRL language, and you can implement any kind of logic on the alerts. It may be correlation, abstraction, or executing something as a result of the alerts. You have almost the whole range of options available for event management using the available customization."
"The tailoring of the knowledge modules has been particularly useful as I can streamline the agents to only report on critical events."
"We can verify uptimes as another source of keeping devices in compliance."
"What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load."
"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."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"What I like about eG Enterprise is that it's easy to use. It's a simple product. You can get up to seventy-five to eighty percent of the required information based on real user experience and diagnostics."
"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"The product is simple to use."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"The ability to see what the end user response is, so I can get a better understanding of what the end user is seeing when they connect to the Citrix servers."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"The solution is overly complex."
"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."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"Reporting would be an area for improvement in TrueSight... We have almost 800 customers today on TrueSight and just under 10,000 assets. We need to be able to give a customer some information. If the customer's product fails, they'll ask us, "Did it have a problem beforehand?" We have all those events and we know all the problems it had beforehand. We have to be able to give them access to that kind of reporting. That's an enhancement that we need."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We did a five-year, multimillion dollar deal."
"The tool is moderately expensive."
"The solution is based on endpoints and knowledge models which can be costly."
"They have changed the licensing fees."
"Annual licensing amount depends on the customers requirements. Support is an additional fee and there are options for three and five year support."
"Consider scalability very carefully: how much you want to monitor and what components are very important. Then, depending on these two things, filter out unwanted metrics or attributes. If you do a good job at filtering the data, then your licensing costs will be manageable."
"The price of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is very high. If there was more flexibility with the sizing of the licensing it would be helpful, especially during the pandemic. We have wanted to expend but the licensing cost is too high."
"It is a large, complex product. So, there is a commitment of manpower to deploy it, as it is not a cheap product."
"The product is very cheap."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"They gave us a good price, when they were found out we were looking at other products because their price was very high. We were looking at another solution, then we came back to them was because they brought the price down. We selected them for three years."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"You may get some monitoring products with certain licensing you may own. Some of these can take ages to configure and setup, along with needing a license to drive the software."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
