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.

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 ( /categories/it-service-management-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

"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."
"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 breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"It provides common administration, and a Single Sign-On Platform with RBAC, which eases the cross launch between multiple tools"
"It is a stable solution."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"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."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"User session details"
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"Sometimes when we face issues with the new technologies or very old technologies where we cannot enhance the service, they move to work with us directly and start doing some development on this area which is very good for us."
"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"The product is simple to use."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"The stability of BMC TrueSight Operations Management needs improvement. My organization's infrastructure is vast and implemented based on BMC recommendations, but the solution needs to be optimized for large-capacity infrastructure."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"We were somewhat limited in TrueSight due to some of the RBAC controls not quite being what we wanted as far as delegating out administrative privileges for implementation. But because we were able to turn requests around pretty well, that burden wasn't too heavy."
"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."
"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
"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."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"The integration must be improved."
"Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."
"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a relatively inexpensive solution."
"Use conservative figures. In terms of hardware, monitored servers and also effort. The product is not cheap. But as with other products, you get what you pay for."
"The cost depends on the usage."
"They have changed the licensing fees."
"Pricing is very high."
"Though I have no clue about the tool's actual price, I know that it is astronomical."
"Annual licensing amount depends on the customers requirements. Support is an additional fee and there are options for three and five year support."
"We did a five-year, multimillion dollar deal."
"It is not expensive."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"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."
"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."
"The product is very cheap."
